About This Item
ASTM E2513 is the ASTM standard for multi-story building external evacuation platform rescue systems, providing a technical reference for a specialized life-safety application. It helps define a common basis for evaluating these systems so designers, buyers, and facility stakeholders can compare offerings more consistently. By focusing on external evacuation platform rescue systems, the standard supports clearer expectations for performance, construction, and overall suitability in building emergency planning.
What is ASTM E2513?
ASTM E2513 is a standard specification that addresses multi-story building external evacuation platform rescue systems. As a specification, it is intended to describe the requirements and characteristics associated with this type of rescue equipment or system, rather than a broad emergency-management program. The document is relevant when a project needs a defined technical basis for product description, evaluation, or procurement. ASTM E2513 is commonly used to support consistent communication about system expectations in a building safety context.
Where is ASTM E2513 used?
This standard is used in contexts involving multi-story buildings where external evacuation platform rescue systems may be considered as part of emergency response or rescue planning. It is typically relevant to building owners, designers, safety professionals, and suppliers working with evacuation-related equipment for tall structures. ASTM E2513 can also support specification writing, procurement reviews, and product comparison when selecting systems intended for building evacuation or rescue from an external platform.
Why is ASTM E2513 important?
ASTM E2513 matters because it gives stakeholders a common technical reference for a specialized rescue system used in multi-story buildings. That can improve consistency during product evaluation, support clearer purchasing decisions, and reduce ambiguity in safety-related specifications. For projects where external evacuation platforms are part of the planning or equipment set, the standard may help align expectations for compliance, quality control, and risk reduction. It is especially useful when clear documentation and comparable requirements are needed.
