Notes:

Footnote 1

Large soft bodies are designed to transfer a significant amount of energy to the cladding and to the wall assembly. Small hard bodies are capable of causing localized impact damage without any appreciable transmission of energy to the wall assembly.

Smaller soft bodies are smaller and harder than the large soft bodies, and larger and softer than small hard bodies. They are designed to induce localized damage, as well as transmit energy to the rest of the assembly.

Return to footnote 1 referrer

Footnote 2

The product did not demonstrate capacity to retain the performance of the cladding under impact loads that induce localized damage as well as transmit energy to the rest of the assembly. The product will be limited to applications where such performance is not required or where the cladding system can be repaired or replaced easily. The CCMC Technical Guide specifies that for cladding systems that can be repaired or replaced easily, lower impact resistance values may be accepted down to 6 N·m for small soft impact and 1 N·m for small hard impact.

Return to footnote 2 referrer

Footnote 3

N/A = not applicable. Assembly 6 was not tested for impact resistance because it previously failed the wind resistance test.
