Wednesday, October 10, 2007

1. AC166—Metal Roof Coverings. Revisions are proposed to limit the criteria to solid or closely fitted decking. Staff is seeking input on use of the metal roofing panels on spaced decking and their use as roof diaphragms. click here
2. AC384—Hot-applied Rubberized-asphalt Roof Membranes Used with Protected Membrane Ballasted Roof Systems. A new criteria is proposed for a fabric-reinforced hot-applied rubberized-asphalt roofing membrane with ballasted roof covering systems. click here
3. AC348—Continuous Tie-down Systems. The status of this proposed acceptance criteria will be considered by the committee. If the criteria is removed from the hold agenda, then action to delete or modify legacy reports on these systems will need to be undertaken. This subject has been considered by the Evaluation Committee twice before, most recently in October 2006.click here
4. AC118—Tapping Screw Fasteners. Revisions are proposed to make the requirements of AC118 consistent with the provisions of the I-codes; to identify the applicable fastener specification based on screw fastener end-use application; to clarify the sample size required for specific qualification testing; and to accommodate evaluation report applicants who request screw sizes that are not referenced in the applicable ASTM standards. click here
5. AC353—Stay-in-place, Foam Plastic Insulating Concrete Form (ICF) Systems for Solid Concrete Walls. A new criteria is proposed for flat and waffle-grid, solid wall insulating concrete form (ICF) systems. The proposed criteria was considered by the Evaluation Committee at their June 2007 meeting.click here

8. AC101—Proposed Cancellation Date for Legacy Reports on Grease Duct Enclosure Systems Not Complying With AC101, ASTM E 2336 or UL 2221. ES staff is proposing a date by which legacy reports that do not comply with the current requirements will be canceled. click here

10. AC130—Prefabricated Wood Shear Panels. Revisions are proposed to update code and standards references, further restrict the criteria’s scope, consider axial (gravity) loads on shear panel capacities, and propose the use of parameters to characterize whether the performance of the proprietary prefabricated shear panel is seismically compatible with conventional wood-frame shearwalls. click here
11. AC322—Prefabricated, Cold-formed, Steel Lateral-force-resisting Vertical Assemblies. A new criteria is proposed for prefabricated cold-formed steel lateral-force-resisting vertical assemblies. The proposed criteria has been on several Evaluation Committee agendas over the past two years; the latest discussion of the proposal was in February 2007.click here

12. AC382—Laminated Fibrous Board Sheathing Material Used as a Water-resistive Barrier. A new acceptance criteria is proposed for laminated fibrous board sheathing that is used both for resisting transverse and racking shear loads and as a water-resistive barrier. The sheathing products must comply with AC295, which is also on the agenda. click here
13. AC295—Laminated Fibrous Board Sheathing Material. Revisions are proposed to update to the 2006 International Codes; to add requirements for conducting transverse load tests; and to add requirements when use is as a water-resistive barrier. (See also AC382 on this agenda.) click here
14. AC191—Metal Plaster Bases (Lath). Revisions are proposed to replace ASTM C 1063-03 with ASTM C 1063-06; include requirements for recognition of welded wire lath having a corrosion-resistant coating other than the specified minimum Class 1 galvanized coating; and to revise Section 3.8.2 to remove a reference to Section 6.3.1 of ASTM C 1063. click here
15. AC51—Precast Stone Veneer. Revisions are proposed to update to the 2006 International Codes; and to make numerous editorial revisions to clarify intent. click here
16. AC367—Fiber-cement Sheet Structural Floor Sheathing. Revisions are proposed to expand the scope to include use of the sheets mechanically attached to wood floor framing for use as a horizontal diaphragm assembly resisting wind or seismic loads. Editorial revisions are also proposed. click here
17. AC378—Fiber-cement Interior Substrate Sheets Used in Wet and Dry Areas. A new criteria is proposed for fiber-cement interior substrate sheets used in wet and dry areas. The proposed criteria was previously considered by the Evaluation Committee at their June 2007 meeting. click here

19. AC373—Precast Reinforced Cementitious Slurry Wall Panels Used as Exterior and Interior Nonload-bearing Walls and Partitions. A new criteria is proposed for precast, reinforced cementitious slurry wall panels used as exterior and interior nonload-bearing walls and partitions. click here

21. AC377—Spray-applied Foam Plastic Insulation. Spray-applied Foam Plastic Insulation. A new criteria is proposed for spray- and bead-applied polyurethane foam plastic. The proposed criteria, which is based on AC12, the Acceptance Criteria for Foam Plastic Insulation, organizes the applicable requirements for these products into a separate document and will supersede AC12 when approved. click here

23. AC308—Post-installed Adhesive Anchors in Concrete Elements. Three documents from the University of Stuttgart raising comments and proposing revisions to AC308 will be considered. click here

25. AC364—Automatic Foundation Flood Vents. Revisions are proposed to revise the method for calculating net free area in Section 3.1.2 to be consistent with AC132. click here
26. AC14—Prefabricated Wood I-joists. Revisions are proposed to update to the 2006 International Codes; clarify requirements related to ASTM D 5055; add fire-resistance-rated assemblies; and add requirements for adhesive and heat durability. click here
27. AC311—Push-fit and Press-Connection Fittings for Potable Water Tube and Radiant Heating Systems. Revisions are proposed to clarify whether the fittings can be removed and reinstalled; to permit fittings complying with ASSE 1061 as an alternative to what is described in the current criteria; and to add a condition of use that PEX tubing used with push-fit fittings must comply with AC122 and must be identified as acceptable for use with push-fit fittings. click here
28. AC326A—Proprietary Wood Preservative Systems—Common Requirements for Treatment Process, Test Methods and Performance. Revisions are proposed to clarify intent of field testing and the need for independent analysis of data; to update standards and to add new standards; and to include as appendices requirements for specific wood preservative systems. click here
29. AC122—PP, PEX, PEX-AL-PEX, and PP-AL-PP Piping, Tube and Fittings Used in Radiant Heating and Water Supply Systems. Revisions are proposed to clarify tube and fitting marking requirements and to revise tolerances for PP-AL-PP tube; and to clarify issues related to use of PEX tubing with push-fit fittings. See also AC311 on this agenda. click here

31. AC43—Steel Deck Roof and Floor Systems. Revisions are proposed to update to the 2006 International Codes; to include provisions for design of deep deck and cellular diaphragms in accordance with the SDI Diaphragm Design Manual; to reference errata to the DDM03; to require galvanized or stainless steel fasteners with roof covering panels; to address use as roof coverings; to add requirements for developing load-versus-span information; and to correct Table 2. click here
32. AC257—Corrosion-Resistant Fasteners and Evaluation of Corrosion Effects of Wood Treatment Chemicals. Revisions are proposed to include testing for evaluation of fasteners, coatings and metals in contact with preservative-treated wood. This subject has been considered by the Evaluation Committee twice before, most recently in February 2007. click here
