Designation:E209900(Reapproved 2014)1Standard Practice forthe Specification and Evaluation of Pre-ConstructionLaboratory Mockups of Exterior Wall Systems1This standard is issued under the fixed designation E2099;the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or,in the case of revision,the year of last revision.A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval.Asuperscript epsilon()indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1NOTEUnits statement was inserted in Section 1.6,units information was corrected,and editorial changes were madethroughout in June 2014.1.Scope1.1 This standard practice covers procedures and documen-tation to assist in the specification and evaluation of pre-construction laboratory mockups of exterior wall systems.1.2 This standard practice addresses design and constructionof the mockup;observation during mockup construction andtesting;evaluation of the mockup test results;and documenta-tion of the mockup and testing process.Coordination isrequired between the parties involved in the design,construc-tion and testing of the mockup to facilitate this process.Documentation should convey the results of pre-constructionmockups from one party to others at appropriate stages in theprocess.1.3 This standard practice recommends the selection andorder of individual tests performed on the mockup in theabsence of a specific test order.1.4 This standard practice recommends a protocol for ex-change of information between participants in the pre-construction mockup process.1.5 Responsibility for specific activities is recommended bythis practice.This practice is intended to provide a defaultstructure in the absence of the assignment of specific respon-sibilities by the specifying authority.1.6 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regardedas standard.The values given in parentheses are mathematicalconversions to SI units that are provided for information onlyand are not considered standard.2.Referenced Documents2.1 ASTM Standards:2E283 Test Method for Determining Rate of Air LeakageThrough Exterior Windows,Curtain Walls,and DoorsUnder Specified Pressure Differences Across the Speci-menE330/E330M Test Method for Structural Performance ofExterior Windows,Doors,Skylights and Curtain Walls byUniform Static Air Pressure DifferenceE331 Test Method for Water Penetration of ExteriorWindows,Skylights,Doors,and Curtain Walls by Uni-form Static Air Pressure DifferenceE547 Test Method for Water Penetration of ExteriorWindows,Skylights,Doors,and Curtain Walls by CyclicStatic Air Pressure DifferenceE631 Terminology of Building ConstructionsE1233/E1233M Test Method for Structural Performance ofExterior Windows,Doors,Skylights,and Curtain Walls byCyclic Air Pressure Differential2.2 AAMA Standards:3AAMA 501,Methods of Test for Exterior WallsAAMA 501.1,Standard Test Method for Exterior Windows,Curtain Walls and Doors for Water Penetration usingDynamic PressureAAMA 501.4,Recommended Static Test Method for Evalu-ating Curtain Wall and Storefront Systems Subjected toSeismic and Wind Induced Interstory DriftsAAMA501.5,Test Method for Thermal Cycling of ExteriorWalls1This practice is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee E06 on Perfor-mance of Buildings and is the direct responsibility of Subcommittee E06.55 onPerformance of Building Enclosures.Current edition approved April 1,2014.Published June 2014.Originallyapproved in 2000.Last previous edition approved in 2007 as E2099 00(2007).DOI:10.1520/E2099-00R14E01.2For referenced ASTM standards,visit the ASTM website,www.astm.org,orcontact ASTM Customer Service at serviceastm.org.For Annual Book of ASTMStandards volume information,refer to the standards Document Summary page onthe ASTM website.3Available from American Architectural Manufacturers Association(AAMA),1827 Walden Office Square,Suite 550,Schaumburg,IL 60173-4268,http:/www.aamanet.org.Copyright ASTM International,100 Barr Harbor Drive,PO Box C700,West Conshohocken,PA 19428-2959.United States1 AAMA CW-DG-1,Testing of Aluminum Curtain Walls,Curtain Wall Design Guide Manual3.Terminology3.1 DefinitionsDefinitions are in accordance with Termi-nology E631,unless otherwise indicated.3.2 Definitions of Terms Specific to This Standard:3.2.1 builderthe builder of the mockup and the exteriorwall system.3.2.2 pre-construction mockupa full-size representation ofthe proposed exterior wall system built before the exterior walldesign is completed in order to study proposed constructiondetails,test for performance and possibly judge appearance ofthe exterior wall system.3.2.3 specifierthe architect or professional design partyresponsible for the design of the exterior wall system.3.2.4 test agencythe selected agency to conduct the re-quired tests.4.Significance and Use4.1 Exterior wall systems require time to design,fabricate,construct and test.Mockups are a fullsize representativeportion of the proposed exterior wall system built to studypropose
