American National Standard implies a consensus of those
substantially concerned with its scope and provisions. An
American National Standard is intended as a guide to aid the
manufacturer, the consumer, and the general public. The
existence of an American National Standard does not in any
respect preclude anyone, whether he has approved the
standard or not, from manufacturing, marketing, purchasing
or using products, processes, or procedures not conforming
to the standard. American National Standards are subject to
periodic review and users are cautioned to obtain the latest
editions.


CAUTION NOTICE
:

This American National Standard may be revised or withdrawn
at any time. The procedures of the American National Standards
Institute require that action be taken to reaffirm, revise, or
withdraw this standard no later than five years from the date of
publication. Purchasers of American National Standards may
receive current information on all standards by calling or writing
the American National Standards Institute.

Foreword

(This foreword is included for information only and is not part of ANSI/DASMA 115, Standard
Method for Testing Sectional Garage Doors and Rolling Doors: Determination of Structural Performance Under
Missile Impact and Cyclic Wind Pressure.)


This standard was developed concurrently by the Technical Committees of the DASMA Commercial & Residential
Garage Door Division and the DASMA Rolling Door Division. It incorporates years of experience in testing sectional
garage doors and rolling doors commonly found in garage type structures. The committees and divisions believe the
existence of the standard will provide a uniform basis of testing and rating the structural performance of such doors
under missile impact and cyclic wind pressure.

The DASMA Rolling Door Division and the DASMA Commercial & Residential Garage Door Division concurrently
approved revisions to the standard on April 21, 2006. DASMA employed the canvass method to demonstrate consensus
and to gain approval as an American National Standard. The ANSI Board of Standards Review first granted approval of
the document as an American National Standard on March 21, 2003, and granted approval of the most recent revisions
to the standard on October 19, 2006.

DASMA recognizes the need to periodically review and update this standard. Suggestions for improvement should be
forwarded to the Door & Access Systems Manufacturers Association, International, 1300 Sumner Avenue, Cleveland,
Ohio, 44115-2851.

ANSI/DASMA 115-2005
AMERICAN NATIONAL STANDARD

Standard Method for Testing Sectional Garage Doors and Rolling Doors:
Determination of Structural Performance Under Missile Impact and Cyclic Wind Pressure

1.0 SCOPE

1.1
This test method determines the performance
of sectional garage doors and rolling doors impacted by
missiles and subsequently subjected to cyclic static
pressure differentials.

1.2
The performance determined by this test
method relates to the ability of the sectional garage
door or rolling door to remain unbreached during a
windstorm due to windborne debris.

1.3
Water exposure conditions shall not be a part
of this standard.

1.4
The proper use of this test method requires a
knowledge of the principles of pressure and deflection
measurement.

1.5
This test method describes the apparatus and
the procedure to be used for applying missile impact
and cyclic static pressure loads to a specimen.

1.6
This test method does not purport to address
all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use.
It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to
establish appropriate safety and health practices and to
determine the applicability of regulatory limitations
prior to use.

1.7
This test method incorporates applicable
provisions from TAS 201, TAS 203, TDS 1-95, SSTD
12-97, ASTM E 1886-02, ASTM E 1996-03 and
fatigue load testing referenced in the Florida Building
Code, Building.

1.8
For products intended for installation in the
Florida High Velocity Hurricane Zone (Miami-Dade
and Broward Counties), the testing procedure in
Appendix B and Appendix C shall be used.


2.0 DEFINITIONS

2.1
Air Pressure Cycle - beginning at zero air
pressure differential, the application of positive
(negative) pressure to achieve a specified air pressure
differential and returning to zero pressure differential.

2.2
Air Pressure Differential - the specified
differential in static air pressur
