PERFORMANCE REQUIREMENTS
Use this article carefully; restrict statements to identify system performance requirements or
functional criteria only. Delete paragraphs not appropriate to project. Performance specifying
permits system manufacturers the latitude to adjust proprietary systems to achieve specified
requirements. Rely on this article as the basis for entrance criteria specifying and minimize the
material and component statements so not to conflict with performance criteria. The following
paragraphs represent a suggested listing of criteria. If more stringent criteria are being considered,
refer to AAMA and ASTM test methods and associated documents for guidance.
