Import Tips
• Highlight UV stabilization and fire ratings in documentation for rooftop use to support classification
• Separate drainage layers if present, as they may be underlays excluded from this chapter
• Use HTS advisory rulings for custom rooftop designs to confirm turf vs. roofing material status
