GSO ASTM E241:2022 Scope
1.1 This guide covers building design, construction,
commissioning, operation, and maintenance.
1.2 This guide addresses the need for systematic evaluation
of factors that can result in moisture-induced damage to a
building or its components. Although of great potential
importance, serviceability issues which are often, but not
necessarily, related to physical damage of the building or its
components (for example, indoor air quality or electrical
safety) are not directly addressed in this guide.
1.3 The emphasis of this guide is on low-rise buildings.
Portions of this guide; in particular Sections 5, 6, and 7; may
also be applicable to high-rise buildings.
1.4 This guide is not intended for direct use in codes and
specifications. It does not attempt to prescribe acceptable limits
of damage. Buildings intended for different uses may have
different service life expectancies, and expected service lives
of different components within a given building often differ.
Furthermore, some building owners may be satisfied with
substantially shorter service life expectancies of building
components or of the entire building than other building
owners. Lastly, the level of damage that renders a component
unserviceable may vary with the type of component, the degree
to which failure of the component is critical (for example,
whether failure constitutes a life-safety hazard), and the judgement (that is, tolerance for damage) of the building owner. For
the reasons stated in this paragraph, prescribing limits of
damage would require listing many pages of exceptions and
qualifiers and is beyond the scope of this guide.
