Standard Specification for Application of Gypsum Veneer Plaster

SCOPE
1.1 This specification covers the minimum requirements for and methods of applying gypsum veneer plaster.  
1.2 Where a specific degree of fire resistance is required for veneer plaster systems, applicable building code regulations shall be followed.
Note 1- Details of construction that have achieved required fire resistance endurance ratings may be obtained from official reports of fire tests conducted at recognized fire testing laboratories in accordance with Test Methods E 119.  
1.3 Where a specific degree of sound control is required for veneer plaster assemblies and constructions, details of construction shall be in compliance with official reports of tests conducted in recognized sound testing laboratories in accordance with the applicable sound tests of Test Method E 90, Test Method C 423, or Test Method E 492.  
Note 2-To ensure desirable results, coordinate this specification with Specification C844.
Note 3-General information regarding matters of a contractual nature concerning veneer plaster work is found in Appendix XI. Additional technical information related to veneer plastering is provided in Appendix X2.
1.4 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded as the standard. The values given in parentheses are for information only.  
1.5 The text of this specification references notes and footnotes that provide explanatory material. These notes and footnotes (excluding those in tables and figures) shall not be considered as requirements of the specification.
