V16 — system diagnostic
Material compatibility and corrosion
Check metals, treated wood, membranes, sealants, mortars, adhesives and fasteners as a system before substituting products.
Checked: 2026-08-22
Two individually good products can be chemically, galvanically or mechanically incompatible.
Structural substitution, unapproved membrane/sealant, active corrosion or unknown wet-environment fastener: confirm before use.
Useful tools / data
- Technical data and SDS
- Metal/fastener/substrate list
- System details/CCMC evaluations where applicable
What the professional checks
- Check chemical and galvanic compatibility
- Validate substitutions against system requirements
- Define isolation/corrosion protection
