SUPERSEDED (see Active link, below)
1. Scope
1.1 This test method covers the procedure for evaluating the wind resistance of asphalt shingles that results from the shingle s rigidity (with or without contribution from sealant) or mechanical interlocking (with or without contribution from sealant) or any combination thereof.
