Standard Specification for Copper-Clad Stainless Steel Sheet and Strip for Building Construction

SCOPE
1.1 This specification establishes the requirements for rolled copper-clad stainless steel, sheet and strip in flat lengths, coils, or in thicknesses for roofing, siding, flashing, gutters, downspouts, and general sheet metal work for outside building construction.  
1.2 Units—The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded as standard. The values given in parentheses are mathematical conversions to SI units that are provided for information only and are not considered standard.  
1.2.1 Exception—Grain size units are stated in SI units.  
1.3 The following safety hazard caveat pertains only to the test method(s) described in this specification.  
1.3.1 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.  
1.4 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.
