ICC-ES AC107
Full Name
ICC-ES AC107 – Acceptance Criteria for Classified Wood Roof Systems
Scope
ICC-ES AC107 establishes the acceptance criteria for evaluating the performance of classified wood roof systems. The criteria ensure these systems meet the requirements of the International Building Code (IBC) and the International Residential Code (IRC).
Key aspects covered within the scope of AC107 include:
- Structural performance: assessment of the wood roof system’s ability to resist loads (dead, live, wind, snow) acting on the roof assembly.
- Fire resistance ratings: evaluation of the fire performance of the wood roof system in accordance with applicable building codes (e.g., Class A, B, or C).
- Wind uplift resistance: assessment of the roof system’s ability to resist wind uplift forces, including testing for specific wind zones.
- Interconnectedness: evaluation of the connections between the various components of the roof system to ensure structural integrity.
