R4409.13.3.2.5 Conditioned attic assemblies: Unvented conditioned attic assemblies (spaces between the ceiling joists of the top story and the roof rafters) are permitted under the following conditions:  
1.	1. No interior vapor retarders are installed on the ceiling side (attic floor) of the unvented attic assembly. 
2.	2.	An air-impermeable insulation is applied in direct contact to the underside/ interior of the structural roof deck. “Air-impermeable” shall be defined by ASTM E 283. 
.	3.	Shingles shall be installed as shown: 
.	a.	For asphalt roofing shingles: A 1-perm (57.4 mg/s · m2·Pa) or less vapor retarder (determined using Procedure B of ASTM E 96) is placed to the exterior of the structural roof deck; i.e. just above the roof structural sheathing. 
.	b.	For wood shingles and shakes: a minimum continuous ¼ inch (6 mm) vented air space separates the shingles/shakes and the roofing felt placed over the structural sheathing.

R4412.1.2 Definitions. 
APPROVED PLASTIC. An approved plastic shall be any thermoplastic, thermosetting or reinforced thermosetting plastic material which has a self-ignition temperature of 650ºF (343oC), or greater when tested in accordance with ASTM D 1929, a smoke density rating no greater than 450 when tested in the way intended for use by ASTM E 84 or a smoke density rating no greater than 75 when tested in the thickness intended for use according to ASTM D 2843 and which meets one of the following combustibility classifications: CLASS C-1. Plastic materials that have a burning extent of 1 inch per minute (25.4 mm) or less when tested in nominal 0.060 inch (1.5mm)thickness or in the thickness intended for use by ASTM D 635. CLASS C-2. Plastic materials that have a burning rate of 21/2 inches (64 mm) per minute or less when tested in nominal 0.060 inch (1.5mm) thickness or in the thickness intended for use by ASTM D 635. 
Approved plastics for outdoor exposure shall be evaluated for outdoor durability in accordance with the Voluntary Standard Uniform Load Test Procedure for Thermoformed Plastic Domed Skylights, of the AAMA/WDMA 101/IS2/NAFS Voluntary Performance Specification for Windows, Skylights and Glass Doors Architectural Aluminum Manufacturers Association Publication AAMA 1600 as follows:….[Remaining text unchanged.]
