Abstract This guide covers standard specification for steel sheet metallic coated by the hot-dip process and coil-coated with organic films for exterior exposed building products. The substrate shall conform to all requirements of the appropriate specification for the steel sheet product. Material classification includes zinc-coated (galvanized), aluminum-zinc alloy-coated, and aluminum coated steel sheets. The recommended minimum coating mass designations for use in exterior exposed building applications shall be indicated. The properties of the substrate and the organic coating system, combined with the method of forming, shall determine the life expectancy and general appearance of the final product. This abstract is a brief summary of the referenced standard. It is informational only and not an official part of the standard; the full text of the standard itself must be referred to for its use and application. ASTM does not give any warranty express or implied or make any representation that the contents of this abstract are accurate, complete or up to date.
