ICC-ES AC200
Full Name
ICC-ES AC200 – Acceptance Criteria for Plastic Battens Used in Clay or Concrete Tile Roof Systems
Scope
ICC-ES AC200 establishes the acceptance criteria for evaluating plastic battens used in clay or concrete tile roof systems. It outlines the requirements and test methods that these battens must meet to be deemed acceptable for use in building construction.
The scope of AC200 includes:
- Materials: specifications for the plastic materials used in the production of the battens, ensuring their quality, durability, and resistance to environmental factors.
- Physical properties: requirements for the physical properties of the battens, such as dimensions, flexural strength, and impact resistance, to ensure they can withstand the loads and stresses of a roof system.
- Performance testing: standardized test methods for evaluating the battens’ resistance to wind uplift, weathering, and fire, ensuring their performance under various environmental conditions.
- Compatibility: evaluation of the compatibility of the battens with clay or concrete roof tiles, ensuring proper interlocking and secure attachment.
By adhering to AC200, manufacturers can ensure that their plastic battens meet the necessary standards for safety, durability, and performance in clay or concrete tile roof systems.
