The appendix information shall not be interpreted as mandatory design criteria.

1.6 This standard is intended for new climb areas and major modifications.

1.7 Existing climb areas may qualify as compliant for five years following the date of this publication of this practice as long as any significant design related failures or significant design related safety issues have been mitigated. Thereafter, climb areas must qualify as “Service Proven” per Practice F2291 or meet the requirements of this practice.

1.8 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded as standard. The values given in parentheses are mathematical conversions to SI units that are provided for information only and are not considered standard.
