1 DID YOU KNOW… # of Tests We Perform In the Myerstown Plant EVERY DAY 4,300

2 Crash Test Dummies Have It Pretty Hard…

3 So Do Our GAF Shingles…

4 Testing Is Part of Our DNA EACH Shingle Subjected to Over 187 Unique Tests We Confess: We Have a History of Torturing Shingles

5 AC 438 … Another Proof Point For the Advanced Protection Shingle!  GAF is the first and only mfg. to offer both AC 438 and ASTM D3462 Approvals  Great way to PROVE to your customers that our shingles are made to last…and we aren’t afraid to test them to extremes to ensure this!

6  Industry’s first performance standard!  Uses advanced science to predict long term shingle performance That’s Why We LOVE the New Roofing Standard… AC438

7 Made Up of 3 Critical Tests That Determine Shingle Long Term Performance LONG TERM SHINGLE DURABILITY AND PERFORMANCE TESTING HOW SHINGLES WILL STAND UP TO HEAVY, DRIVING RAIN HOW YOUR SHINGLES WITHSTAND EXTREME TEMPERATURES HOW YOUR SHINGLES PERFORM AFTER LONG TERM EXPOSURE TO THE SUN WIND-DRIVEN RAIN PERFORMANCE LONG TERM EXTREME TEMPERATURE RESISTANCE TEST WHY IT’S IMPORTANT

8 So What’s The Difference in AC 438 and ASTM D 3462 ? Dimensions ASTM D3161 Behavior on heating Tear strength Fastener pull- through resistance Penetration and softening point of asphalt Pliability Table 2: Mass of shingles, mat, asphalt, mineral surfacing & mineral stabilizer Shall use glass felt, mineral granules on weathering surface and factory-applied adhesive (sealant) UL 790 Class A Fire Rated. Weight of displaced granules ASTM D3462 ASTM D3462 FOCUSED ON PHYSICAL ATTRIBUTES AFTER PRODUCTION ASTM D 7158 UL 790 Class C Fire Rated Weather Resistance Temperature Cycling Weight of Displaced Surfacing material Wind driven rain AC 438 LONG TERM PERFORMANCE TESTING ONLY IN AC 438

9 AC 438 … Another Proof Point For the Advanced Protection Shingle!  GAF is the first and only mfg. to offer both AC 438 and ASTM D3462 Approvals  Great way to PROVE to your customers that our shingles are made to last…and we aren’t afraid to test them to extremes to ensure this!
