Independent Testing

How to Read the UNO‑FOAM® Wind-Uplift Test Summary

What the independent wind-uplift test summary reports, and how to keep its result tied to the assembly that was tested.

Begin with the test method

The summary reports an independent ANSI/FM 4474 simulated wind-uplift test for one defined roof assembly.

Identify the exact tested assembly

The result applies to the specific assembly and test conditions listed in the summary, not to roof assemblies in general.

Read the reported result in context

The defined assembly met the 90 psf passing grade. Testing continued to 135 psf; the observed failure occurred at the cover-board facer, not the adhesive bond.

What the result is—and is not

It is an independent third-party laboratory result for the specific assembly and test conditions listed in the summary.

It is not an FM Approval or listing, not a universal rating, not a guarantee for every assembly, and not a substitute for project-specific approvals or design requirements.

Use the full report for a specific technical question
