*ASTM D3273 Mold Resistance Testing - In independent lab tests conducted on Securock Gypsum-Fiber roof board and Securock Glass-Mat roof board at the time of manufacture per ASTM D3273 Standard Test Method for Resistance
to Growth of Mold on the Surface of Interior Coatings in an Environmental Chamber, both panels scored a 10. The ASTM lab test may not accurately represent the mold performance of building materials in actual use. Given unsuitable project
conditions during storage, installation or after completion, any building material can be overwhelmed by mold. To manage the growth of mold, the best and most cost-effective strategy is to protect building products from water exposure
during storage and installation and after completion of the building. This can be accomplished by using good design and construction practices.
