Astm e-1886 astm e-1996

Hello everyone,

I would like to know if ASTM E 1886 and ASTM E 1996 products for window and door openings are approved for use in High Velocity Hurricanes Zones (HVHZ); Miami-Dade and Broward Counties. Please provide any reference sources with your answer. Thank you all for your help.

Although the 1802 does not specifically list approved standards just for the HVHZ, only Maimi-Dade Co Approved products can be used inside the HVHZ. These do not include products with only ASTM E 1886 and ASTM E 1996 testing.
