- AC166-1007-R1—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 for responses
- AC348-1007-R3—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 for responses
- AC130-1007-R1—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 for responses
- AC322-1007-R4—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 for responses

- AC382-1007-R1—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 for responses
- AC367-1007-R1—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 for responses
- AC386-1007-R1—Fiber-reinforced Magnesium-oxide-based Sheets. A new criteria is proposed for fiber-reinforced magnesium-oxide-based sheets with various end uses. click here for responses
- AC373-1007-R1—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 for responses
- AC377-1007-R1—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 for responses

- AC308-1007-R1—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 for responses
- AC326-1007-R1-A—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 for responses
- AC257-1007-R3—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 for responses
