ICC-ES AC182
Full Name
ICC-ES AC182 – Acceptance Criteria for Wood Structural Panels
Scope
ICC-ES AC182 outlines the acceptance criteria for evaluating the design capacities of wood structural panel products. It establishes the minimum requirements for recognizing manufacturer-specific design capacities in an ICC-ES evaluation report.
The scope includes:
- Wood structural panels: the criteria apply to various types of wood structural panels, such as plywood, oriented strand board (OSB), and composite panels.
- Design capacities: the focus is on evaluating the structural capabilities of these panels under different loading conditions, such as bending, shear, and bearing.
- Manufacturer-specific: the criteria allow for the recognition of design capacities specific to a particular manufacturer’s product, based on their testing and quality control procedures.
- ICC-ES evaluation report: the criteria are primarily intended for use within the ICC-ES evaluation report process, which provides third-party verification of product performance.
The criteria do not cover other aspects of wood structural panel performance, such as fire resistance, moisture resistance, or dimensional stability.
