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

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

  7. AC438 Made Up of 3 Critical Tests That Determine Shingle Long Term Performance WHY IT’S IMPORTANT TEST LONG TERM SHINGLE DURABILITY AND PERFORMANCE TESTING HOW YOUR SHINGLES PERFORM AFTER LONG TERM EXPOSURE TO THE SUN WIND-DRIVEN RAIN PERFORMANCE HOW SHINGLES WILL STAND UP TO HEAVY, DRIVING RAIN LONG TERM EXTREME TEMPERATURE RESISTANCE HOW YOUR SHINGLES WITHSTAND EXTREME TEMPERATURES

  8. So What’s The Difference in AC438 and ASTM D3462? LONG TERM PERFORMANCE TESTING ONLY IN AC 438 ASTM D3462 AC 438 • 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 D 7158 • UL 790 Class C Fire Rated • Weather Resistance • Temperature Cycling • Weight of Displaced Surfacing material • Wind driven rain ASTM D3462 FOCUSED ON PHYSICAL ATTRIBUTES AFTER PRODUCTION

  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!
