About This Item
ASTM D8464/D8464M is the ASTM standard that defines a specification for cold-applied coal tar used in roofing, waterproofing, and dampproofing applications. It is intended to help buyers, specifiers, and suppliers communicate consistent product expectations for this type of material. By focusing on the material’s intended use and specification requirements, the standard supports more reliable selection, procurement, and quality evaluation for construction and maintenance projects.
ASTM D8464/D8464M standard overview
The official title, Standard Specification for Cold-Applied Coal Tar for Roofing, Waterproofing, and Dampproofing, shows that this document is centered on product requirements rather than installation guidance. ASTM D8464/D8464M is used to define a consistent technical basis for cold-applied coal tar materials intended for protective building-envelope applications. In practice, it helps establish a common reference for compliance, product comparison, and quality control when evaluating materials for roofing and moisture-protection work.
Where is ASTM D8464/D8464M used?
This standard is commonly used wherever cold-applied coal tar products are specified for roofing, waterproofing, or dampproofing. That includes project documents, purchasing decisions, product submittals, and material review workflows for construction and maintenance applications. ASTM D8464/D8464M is especially relevant when a project needs a specification reference for a protective coating or membrane-related material that is applied cold rather than hot, and when consistent material properties are important to the work.
Practical importance of ASTM D8464/D8464M
ASTM D8464/D8464M matters because it gives engineers, contractors, and procurement teams a shared specification framework for evaluating cold-applied coal tar products. Using a recognized ASTM standard can support better product consistency, clearer purchasing requirements, and more dependable quality checks. It may also reduce risk during material selection by helping confirm that the product being sourced aligns with the intended roofing, waterproofing, or dampproofing application.
