TL;DR
A product data sheet is the manufacturer's technical summary for a building product, stating composition, dimensions, performance ratings, approvals, and installation requirements in a page or two. Submittal packages on permitted jobs include one for each specified item so the architect and inspector can confirm the product meets the drawings and code listings.
What it means
A product data sheet is the manufacturer's technical summary for a building product, stating composition, dimensions, performance ratings, approvals, and installation requirements in a page or two. Submittal packages on permitted jobs include one for each specified item so the architect and inspector can confirm the product meets the drawings and code listings. It differs from the safety data sheet, which covers chemical hazards rather than performance.
