5. AC203 — Proposed Revisions to the Acceptance Criteria for Zinc Borate (ZB) Preservative Treatment of Structural Composite Lumber by Non-Pressure Processes. Revisions are proposed to address the 2009 International Codes and to expand the scope of the criteria to include any structural composite wood product, not just lumber. Click here.
6. AC421 — Proposed Acceptance Criteria for Vertically-acting Egress Fire-door Assemblies. A new criteria is proposed to evaluate vertically-acting egress fire-door assemblies. Click here.
7. AC39 — Proposed Revisions to the Acceptance Criteria for Walking Decks. Revisions are proposed to address the 2009 International Codes, address the issue of some of the standards referenced in the AC being discontinued, to provide requirements for walking decks that are not used as roof coverings and to provide requirements for walking decks used with nonclassified roof coverings. Click here.
8. AC417 — Proposed Acceptance Criteria for 1/2-inch Sag-resistant Gypsum Ceiling Board Installed with Two-part Polyurethane Adhesive. A new criteria is proposed to evaluate ½-inch-thick gypsum ceiling board installed parallel to framing spaced at 24 inches on center. This criteria was previously considered by the Evaluation Committee in October 2009. Click here.
9. AC391 — Proposed Revisions to the Acceptance Criteria for Continuous Rod Tie-Down Assemblies. Revisions proposed are a complete re-write of the acceptance criteria to limit the use of continuous rod tie-down assemblies to applications in which they resist wind uplift forces only (eliminating their use in resisting wind and seismic shear wall overturning forces), to add provisions for evaluating a continuous rod tie-down system and to include provisions that would limit deflections allowed in the top plate.
