GSO ASTM E2129:2024 Scope
1.1 This practice covers a set of instructions for collecting
data to be used in assessing the sustainability of building
products for use in both commercial and residential buildings.
1.1.1 There are many features of a building that contribute
to sustainability; one of them is the selection of products for
use in a building. Other key features influencing sustainability
include, but are not limited to: overall efficiency of the design
of the building, the impact the building has on the habits of the
occupants, and the impact the building has on the microclimate
and macroclimate. This practice addresses sustainability issues
related to building products. This practice does not address
sustainability issues related to overall building design, site
selection, building operations, or other features influencing
sustainability.
1.1.2 While it is recommended that users rely on professional judgment informed by both environmental expertise and
specific knowledge of the intended use of the product, this
practice provides no instruction as to interpretation of the data
obtained. Interpretation of the data obtained is the responsibility of the user of this practice.
1.1.3 This document cannot replace education or experience
and should be used in conjunction with professional judgment.
Not all aspects of this practice may be applicable in all
circumstances. This practice is not intended to represent or
replace the standard of care by which the adequacy of a given
professional service must be judged, nor should this document
be applied without consideration of a project’s many unique
aspects. The word “standard” in the title means only that the
document has been approved through the ASTM consensus
process.
1.2 This practice is organized according to the Construction
Specifications Institute’s (CSI) MasterFormat2 sections to promote consistency in the evaluation of building products
1.2.1 CSI MasterFormat version 1995 is used to organize
information in Table 2. Appendix X1 provides a cross reference comparison to CSI MasterFormat 2004.
1.3 This practice includes general, comprehensive data
requirements. Depending upon the building product, certain
data requirements may not apply given the unique characteristics of the product and the potential environmental impacts
related to the intended use of the product. Depending upon the
building product, certain data requirements may need to be
added as appropriate to the unique characteristics of the
product and the potential environmental impacts related to the
intended use of the product.
1.4 This standard does not purport to address all of the
safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the
responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety, health, and environmental practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
1.5 This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the
Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical
Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.
