Where referenced, Agent and are applied at a rate of 600 ft 2 /gal. 4. For mechanically attached base sheet or base membrane, the maximum design pressure for the selected assembly shall meet or exceed the Zone 1 design pressure determined in accordance with FBC Chapter 16, and Zones 2 and 3 shall employ an attachment density designed by a qualified design professional to resist the elevated pressure criteria. 5. For bonded assemblies, the maximum design pressure for the selected assembly shall meet or exceed critical design pressure determined in accordance with FBC Chapter 16, and no rational analysis is permitted. 6. For mechanically attached components over existing decks, fasteners shall be tested in the existing deck for withdrawal resistance. A qualified design professional shall review the data for comparison to the minimum requirements for the system. Testing and analysis shall be in accordance with TAS 105 or ANSI/SPRI FX For existing substrates in a bonded recover installation, the existing roof system shall be capable of resisting project design pressures on its own merit to the satisfaction of the AHJ, as documented through field uplift testing in accordance with ASTM E907 or FM LPDS 1-52 to 1.5 times design. 8.
