Designation:C132115Standard Practice forInstallation and Use of Interior Radiation Control CoatingSystems(IRCCS)in Building Construction1This standard is issued under the fixed designation C1321;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.1.Scope1.1 This practice has been prepared for use by the designer,specifier,and applicator of Interior Radiation Control CoatingSystems(IRCCS)for use in building construction.The scopecontains instructions related to the use and installation ofIRCCS that are sprayed,rolled,or brush applied.Examplesthat this practice is intended to address include:(1)lowemittance surfaces in vented building envelope cavities in-tended to retard radiant transfer across the vented airspace;(2)low emittance surfaces at interior building surfaces intended toretard radiant transfer to or from building inhabitants;and(3)low emittance surfaces at interior building surfaces intended toreduce radiant transfer to or from heating or cooling systems.1.2 This practice covers the installation process from pre-installation inspection through post-installation.It does notcover the production of the Interior Radiation Control CoatingMaterials.1.3 This practice is not intended to replace the manufactur-ers installation instructions,but it shall be used in conjunctionwith such instructions.This practice is not intended to super-sede local,state,or federal codes.1.4 This practice assumes that the installer possesses a goodworking knowledge of the application codes and regulations,safety practices,tools,equipment,and methods necessary forthe installation of Interior Coating Materials.It also assumesthat the installer understands the fundamentals of buildingconstruction that affect the installation of an IRCCS.1.5 When the installation or use of Interior RadiationControl Coating Materials,accessories,and systems posesafety or health problems,the manufacturer shall provide theuser appropriate current information regarding any knownproblems associated with the intended use of the products andshall also provide direction on protective measures to beemployed for safe utilization.The user shall establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applicabil-ity of regulatory requirements prior to use.1.6 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 limitations prior to use.Specific precau-tionary statements are contained in Sections 5 and 7.2.Referenced Documents2.1 ASTM Standards:2C168 Terminology Relating to Thermal InsulationC1371 Test Method for Determination of Emittance ofMaterials Near Room Temperature Using Portable Emis-sometersE84 Test Method for Surface Burning Characteristics ofBuilding MaterialsE96/E96M Test Methods for Water Vapor Transmission ofMaterials2.2 NFPA Standards:3NFPA 54 National Fuel Gas CodeNFPA 211 Standard for Chimneys,Fireplaces,Vents,andSolid Fuel-Burning Appliances2.3 Other Documents:CPSC Guide to Home Wiring Hazards43.Terminology3.1 DefinitionsFor definitions of terms used in thispractice,refer to Terminology C168.3.2 Definitions of Terms Specific to This Standard:3.2.1 applicatorthe person or persons who apply interiorreflective coating materials in buildings.3.2.2 conditioned spaceany space in a building that isserved by a heating or cooling system.1This practice is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee C16 on ThermalInsulationand is the direct responsibility of Subcommittee C16.21 on ReflectiveInsulation.Current edition approved Nov.15,2015.Published December 2015.Originallyapproved 1996.Last previous edition approved in 2014 as C132114.DOI:10.1520/C1321-15.2For 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 National Fire Protection Association(NFPA),1 BatterymarchPark,Quincy,MA 02169-7471,http:/www.nfpa.org.4Available from Consumer Product Safety Commission,https:/www.cpsc.gov.Copyright ASTM International,100 Barr Harbor Drive,PO Box C700,West Conshohocken,PA 19428-2959.United States1 3.2.3 InteriorRadiationControlCoatingSystems(IRCCS)a building construction consisting of a low emit-tance(0.25 or less)surface bounded by an open air space.AnIRCCS is used for the sole purpose of limiting heat transfer byradiation and is not specifically intended to reduce heat transferby convection or conduction.3.2.4 open air spacea vented building cavity(forexample,a vented attic)or a large conditioned or uncondi-tioned building space.
