Standard Test Methods for Performance of Permanent Metal Railing Systems and Rails for Buildings

Importancia y uso:

4.1 These test methods are intended to provide information from which applicable design and performance data can be derived for the performance of metal railing systems and rails installed and fastened to structural elements of concrete, masonry, wood, and metal as well as related products.

4.2 These test methods may be used to determine whether railing systems comply with requirements of the applicable performance specifications.

4.3 These test methods are intended for use in the buying and selling of railing systems and components according to performance specifications, for use in product development research, for use in quality assurance and manufacturing process control, for use in developing performance standards, and for use in field and laboratory compliance determination. Typical floor-mounted railings are shown in Fig. 1.
