FM 1-45 addresses standards for which components?

• A. Wind uplift testing only
• B. Roof slope and drainage
• C. Solar panels installation
• D. Roof insulation boards, cover boards, and their attachment

Answer: (D)

FM 1-45 is about the components that form the thermal and protective layers of a roof system: the rigid insulation boards, the cover boards, and how those boards are attached. It sets what materials are acceptable for insulation and cover boards and specifies acceptable attachment methods (fasteners, adhesives, and joint details) to ensure the boards stay in place and perform with the membrane and other layers under service conditions. It isn’t a standard about wind uplift testing alone, roof slope/drainage, or solar panel installation. That focus on insulation and cover boards plus their attachment is why this choice is the best fit.
