All building materials shall be of a quality to meet the intent of the building provisions of this Code, and shall conform to requirements promulgated as rules by the building commissioner in accordance with the powers delegated to him by this Code.
Except as hereinafter specified for particular materials, every material permitted to be used in buildings or structures in the city shall meet the standard performance specifications for that material as prepared by the American Society for Testing Materials and as adopted by that society, as a standard in 1958. Where such standards require acceptance tests for the determination of the performance and properties of material, proper evidence of the making of such acceptance tests shall be submitted to the building commissioner upon request from him. Where in this Code some other standard of performance is set up for any particular type of construction, the same shall take precedence over the said standard of the American Society for Testing Materials, but any standard requirements of the American Society for Testing Materials not in conflict with the same shall remain in full force and effect.
