1.1 This specification covers a mixture of processed coal tar base with or without mineral fillers or polymer modification suitable for brush, spray, and squeegee application to coal tar built-up and coal tar modified bitumen membrane roofing, flashings, dampproofing, insulations, and waterproofing.

1.2 The values stated in either SI units or inch-pound units are to be regarded separately as standard.

It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety, health, and environmental practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.

1.4 This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.
