Qualitative air-leakage testing per ASTM E 1186. Quantitative air-leakage testing per ASTM E 783. Photo documentation of work to be subsequently concealed. Specifier: Retain "ABAA Paragraph below for certified ABAA projects. Audit may largely supplant other installations; review provisions of ABAA licensing and consider retaining inspector to also perform portions of total building air barrier inspection that fall outside of scope of ABAA audit. ABAA Audit: Provide Installer audit by ABAA. Coordinate scheduling of work and associated audit inspections. Arrange and pay for site inspections by ABAA to verify conformance with the manufacturer’s instructions, ABAA QAP, and requirements of this Section. Coordination of Testing: Cooperate with testing agency. Allow access to work areas and staging. Notify testing agency in writing of schedule for Work of this Section to allow sufficient time for testing and inspection. Do not cover Work until testing and inspection is completed and accepted. Reporting: Forward written inspection reports to the Architect within 10 working days of the inspection and test being performed. Correction: Correct deficient applications not passing tests and inspections, make necessary repairs, and retest as required to demonstrate compliance with requirements. CLEANING AND PROTECTING Clean spills, stains, and overspray resulting application utilizing cleaning agents recommended by manufacturers of affected construction. Remove masking materials. Protect membrane air barrier from damage from subsequent work. Protect membrane materials from exposure to UV light for period in excess of that acceptable to membrane air barrier manufacturer; replace overexposed materials and retest. END OF SECTION
