Designation:C1530/C1530M04(Reapproved 2014)Standard Specification forNon-Asbestos Fiber-Cement Roofing Shakes,Shingles,andSlates with Designed Varying Profiles and Thicknesses1This standard is issued under the fixed designation C1530/C1530M;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 specification covers non-asbestos fiber-cementroofing shakes,shingles,and slates that are of designed varyingprofiles and thicknesses manufactured to provide the weather-exposed surfaces on roofs of buildings.1.2 This specification does not include details of productinstallation or system performance.Refer to the manufacturersinstallation literature for proper installation instructions,toSpecification C1459 for roofing systems performance,and toTest Method E108 for levels of fire resistance.1.3 This specification is not applicable to asbestos-cementor fiber-cement products as specified in Specifications C222and C1225.1.4 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 non-conformancewith the standard.1.5 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 and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory requirements prior to use.2.Referenced Documents2.1 ASTM Standards:2C222 Specification for Asbestos-Cement Roofing ShinglesC1154 Terminology for Non-Asbestos Fiber-Reinforced Ce-ment ProductsC1185 Test Methods for Sampling and Testing Non-Asbestos Fiber-Cement Flat Sheet,Roofing and SidingShingles,and ClapboardsC1225 Specification for Fiber-Cement Roofing Shingles,Shakes,and SlatesC1459 Specification for Performance of Non-AsbestosFiber-Reinforced Cement Shake,Shingle,and Slate Roof-ing SystemsD3359 Test Methods for Measuring Adhesion by Tape TestE108 Test Methods for Fire Tests of Roof CoveringsE284 Terminology of AppearanceG152 Practice for Operating Open Flame Carbon Arc LightApparatus for Exposure of Nonmetallic MaterialsG153 Practice for Operating Enclosed Carbon Arc LightApparatus for Exposure of Nonmetallic MaterialsG155 Practice for Operating Xenon Arc Light Apparatus forExposure of Non-Metallic Materials3.Terminology3.1 DefinitionsRefer to Terminology C1154.3.2 Definitions of Terms Specific to This Standard:3.2.1 breaking load,nthe value of perpendicular forceexpressed in newtons(pound-force),as calculated from thebreaking load of a test specimen,loaded as a simple beam,withthe load applied to the center.4.Manufacture and Composition4.1 ManufactureThese products shall be formed eitherwith or without pressure and cured either under natural oraccelerated conditions,to meet the physical requirements ofthis specification.4.2 CompositionThis specification is applicable to fiber-cement roofing products,consisting of an inorganic binder(forexample,Portland cement)reinforced by discrete non-asbestosfibers.NOTE1Process aids,fillers,mineral aggregates,and pigments arepermitted.5.Mechanical and Physical Properties5.1 Mechanical and physical properties,as defined in Sec-tion 9,shall be determined on uncoated and unsealedspecimens,unless the coating is an integral part of the product.Where products are tested coated or sealed,the results shall be1This specification is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee C17 onFiber-Reinforced Cement Products and is the direct responsibility of SubcommitteeC17.02 on Non-Asbestos Fiber Cement Products.Current edition approved Dec.1,2014.Published December 2014.Originallyapproved in 2002.Last previous edition approved in 2010 as C1530 04(2010)1.DOI:10.1520/C1530_C1530M-04R14.2For 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.Copyright ASTM International,100 Barr Harbor Drive,PO Box C700,West Conshohocken,PA 19428-2959.United States1 identified as pertaining to coated material.Coating surfacechanges as a consequence of mechanical testing shall notconstitute a mechanical failure as long as such materials havepassed all the physical properties required.6.Supplementary Shapes6.1 Supplementary shapes such as starter pieces,hip andridge finishing pieces,and ridge rolls shall have the samegeneral characteristics as the products which they are designedto complement.7.Inspection and Acceptance7.1 Inspection of material shall be at the point of shipmentat the manufacturing facility.The inspector,rep
