ASTM E1643
1. Scope
1.1 This practice covers procedures for installing flexible, prefabricated sheet membranes in contact with earth or granular fill used as vapor retarders under concrete slabs.
1.2 Conditions subject to frost, heave or hydrostatic pressure, or both, are beyond the scope of this practice.
1.3 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 and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
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.
2. Referenced Documents (purchase separately) The documents listed below are referenced within the subject standard but are not provided as part of the standard.
