Designation:D6630/D6630M16(Reapproved 2022)Standard Guide forLow-Slope Insulated Roof Membrane AssemblyPerformance1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D6630/D6630M;the number immediately following the designation indicates theyear of original adoption or,in the case of revision,the year of last revision.A number in parentheses indicates the year of lastreapproval.A superscript epsilon()indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1.Scope1.1 This guide lists test methods intended to establish aminimum level of performance for insulated roof membraneassemblies,and lists pertinent design guidelines and installa-tion methods in a unified manner.Material tests and evalua-tions are included with and without roof insulation.1.2 It is not possible to establish a precise correlationbetween laboratory tests on roof assemblies and natural weath-ering due to variations in geographical climate,design,material,and installation.1.3 The values stated in either SI units or inch-pound unitsare to be regarded separately as standard.The values stated ineach system may not be exact equivalents;therefore,eachsystem shall be used independently of the other.Combiningvalues from the two systems may result in nonconformancewith the standard.1.4 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns,if any,associated with its use.It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety,health,and environmental practices and deter-mine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.1.5 This international standard was developed in accor-dance with internationally recognized principles on standard-ization established in the Decision on Principles for theDevelopment of International Standards,Guides and Recom-mendations issued by the World Trade Organization TechnicalBarriers to Trade(TBT)Committee.2.Referenced Documents2.1 ASTM Standards:2D95 Test Method for Water in Petroleum Products andBituminous Materials by DistillationD450/D450M Specification for Coal-Tar Pitch Used inRoofing,Dampproofing,and WaterproofingD1079 Terminology Relating to Roofing and WaterproofingD2523/D2523M Practice for Testing Load-Strain Propertiesof Roofing MembranesD4434/D4434M Specification for Poly(Vinyl Chloride)Sheet RoofingD4637/D4637M Specification for EPDM Sheet Used inSingle-Ply Roof MembraneD4798/D4798M Practice for Accelerated Weathering TestConditions and Procedures for Bituminous Materials(Xenon-Arc Method)D4799/D4799M Practice for Accelerated Weathering TestConditions and Procedures for Bituminous Materials(Fluorescent UV,Water Spray,and Condensation Method)D5019 Specification for Reinforced CSM(ChlorosulfonatedPolyethylene)Sheet Used in Single-Ply Roof Membrane(Withdrawn 2011)3D5147/D5147M Test Methods for Sampling and TestingModified Bituminous Sheet MaterialD5601 Test Method for Tearing Resistance of Roofing andWaterproofing Materials and Membranes(Withdrawn2002)3D5602/D5602M Test Method for Static Puncture Resistanceof Roofing Membrane SpecimensD5635/D5635M Test Method for Dynamic Puncture Resis-tance of Roofing Membrane SpecimensD5849/D5849M Test Method for Evaluating Resistance ofModified Bituminous Roofing Membrane to Cyclic Fa-tigue(Joint Displacement)D6754/D6754M Specification for Ketone Ethylene EsterBased Sheet RoofingD6878/D6878M Specification for Thermoplastic Polyolefin-Based Sheet RoofingE96/E96M Test Methods for Gravimetric Determination ofWater Vapor Transmission Rate of MaterialsE631 Terminology of Building Constructions1This guide is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee D08 on Roofing andWaterproofing and is the direct responsibility of Subcommittee D08.20 on RoofingMembrane Systems.Current edition approved July 1,2022.Published July 2022.Originally approvedin 2001.Last previous edition approved in 2016 as D6630/D6630M 16.DOI:10.1520/D6630_D6630M-16R22.2For 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.3The last approved version of this historical standard is referenced onwww.astm.org.Copyright ASTM International,100 Barr Harbor Drive,PO Box C700,West Conshohocken,PA 19428-2959.United StatesThis international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for theDevelopment of International Standards,Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade(TBT)Committee.12.2 ASCE Standard:4ASCE-7 Minimum Design Loads for Buildings and OtherStructures2.3 ANSI/SPRI Standard:5ANSI/SPRI RP-4 Wind Design Guide for Ballasted SinglePly Roof Systems3.Terminology3.1 For terminology used in this standard,refer to Termi-nologies D1079 and E631.3.2 roof assembliesthe weathering or waterproofingmaterial,whether film,flexible membrane,semi-fle
