A field uplift testing update

Abstract
In January, ASTM International reinstated its field uplift test method, ASTM E907-25, “Standard Test Method for Field Testing Uplift Resistance of Adhered Membrane Roofing Systems,” with revisions. The updated edition bears a “-25” designation reflecting its December 2025 approval date. If you manufacture, design or install adhered low-slope membrane roof systems that may be subject to field uplift testing, you should be aware of ASTM E907-25.
