New requirements address static and cyclic loading, environmental exposure, corrosion resistance, water-tightness, and related performance characteristics.

SPRI’s 44th Annual Conference in Tucson, Ariz., combined technical committee work, industry and economic outlook sessions, awards, and a community service project.
In a lighthearted seasonal tradition, SPRI gives Santa’s sleigh the all-clear—while spotlighting the very real standards and guidance that support commercial roof performance year-round.
Santa’s sleigh just passed its roof check. SPRI’s annual “technical review” cleared Santa for rooftop landings worldwide—because even holiday magic needs good load distribution, safe takeoffs, and roofs that can handle a surprise visitor in boots.
The ANSI/SPRI IA-1 standard establishes field test procedures that verify whether existing roof substrates and roof assemblies are suitable for use with specific adhesives.
SPRI is reviewing a standard that was developed for measuring the pullout resistance of roofing fasteners in field conditions and is seeking input from the industry.
SPRI is revising its ED-1 Standard for roof edge systems on low-slope roofs, addressing wind loads, materials, and corrosion; it will be re-canvassed for ANSI approval.
