IAPMO UES EC 007
Full Name
IAPMO UES EC 007 – Evaluation Criteria for Steel Composite, Non-Composite and Roof Deck Construction
Scope
IAPMO EC 007 outlines the evaluation criteria for steel composite, non-composite, and roof deck construction. It’s a standard developed by the International Association of Plumbing and Mechanical Officials (IAPMO) Uniform Evaluation Service (UES) to assess the suitability of these construction types.
The scope of EC 007 includes:
- Performance requirements: it defines the minimum performance standards for structural integrity, fire resistance, and other relevant factors.
- Testing procedures: it outlines standardized testing methods to evaluate the strength and durability of steel composite, non-composite, and roof deck construction under various loading conditions.
- Material specifications: it specifies acceptable materials and construction requirements for these construction types to ensure safety and compliance with building codes.
- Design considerations: it provides guidance on design principles and calculations to ensure proper structural performance.
Manufacturers and builders can refer to EC 007 for guidance on designing and constructing safe and reliable steel composite, non-composite, and roof deck structures. They can also seek evaluation and listing by IAPMO UES based on EC 007 to demonstrate compliance and gain acceptance in the industry.
