1.1 本指南适用于设计、选择、指定、安装、采购、制造或供应建筑用天然石材产品的建筑师、工程师、规范制定者、承包商和材料供应商。 1.2 共识标准- 本指南是由工程师、建筑师、地质学家、生产商和天然石材安装商共同起草的行业共识标准。 1.3 以国际单位制或英寸-磅单位表示的数值应单独视为标准值。每个系统中规定的值不一定是精确的等价物； 因此，为确保符合本标准，每个系统应独立使用，且两个系统的值不得组合。 1.4 本国际标准是根据世界贸易组织技术性贸易壁垒（TBT）委员会发布的《关于制定国际标准、指南和建议的原则的决定》中确立的国际公认标准化原则制定的。 ====意义和用途====== 4.1 相关组件- 天然石材只是建筑结构的一个组成部分。所有相关材料和组件都需要评估，以确保与石材产品兼容的交互行为。 4.2 适用规范- 每种石材应用均应符合适用的建筑规范。

1.1 This guide is intended to be used by architects, engineers, specifiers, contractors, and material suppliers who design, select, specify, install, purchase, fabricate, or supply natural stone products for construction applications. 1.2 Consensus Standard— This guide is an industry consensus standard drafted in a cooperative effort among engineers, architects, geologists, producers, and installers of natural stone. 1.3 The values stated in either SI units or inch-pound units are to be regarded separately as standard. The values stated in each system are not necessarily exact equivalents; therefore, to ensure conformance with the standard, each system shall be used independently of the other, and values from the two systems shall not be combined. 1.4 This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee. ====== Significance And Use ====== 4.1 Related Components— Natural stone is only one component of a building's construction. All related materials and assemblies need to be evaluated to ensure compatible interactive behavior with the stone product. 4.2 Applicable Codes— Every stone application shall comply with applicable building codes.
