Specifies the design, construction and testing requirements for factory-glazed skylight assemblies complete and ready for installation in a roof opening. It includes the requirements for materials, fastenings and hardware, weatherproofing, finishes, safety labels and marking. It does not apply to 'barrel vault' type skylights.

This Standard specifies requirements for the manufacture and testing of skylights comprising a factory-glazed assembly to permit natural light transmission. The Standard includes requirements for materials, fastenings and hardware, weatherproofing, safety labels and marking for skylights complete and ready for installation in a roof opening. It is designed for use by manufacturers, designers and consumers alike.This Standard does not apply to 'barrel vault' type skylights.NOTES:1 Alternative methods for determining compliance with this Standard are given in Appendix A.2 While information on the choice of a skylight for a particular application is outside the scope of this Standard, information is provided in the Commentary in D1, that provides some guidance in this respect.
