Full Name
ICC-ES AC214 – Acceptance Criteria for Sandwich Panels with Metal Skins and a Foamed-in-place Foam-plastic Insulated CoreScope
ICC-ES AC214 establishes the acceptance criteria for sandwich panels with metal skins and a foamed-in-place foam-plastic insulated core. These panels are intended for use as exterior, non-load-bearing wall cladding on buildings classified as noncombustible or combustible under the International Building Code (IBC) and other relevant codes. The scope of AC214 includes:- Materials: it specifies the acceptable types of metal skins, foam-plastic insulation, and adhesives used in the construction of sandwich panels.
- Structural performance: it outlines the structural performance requirements for sandwich panels, including resistance to wind loads, impact resistance, and fire resistance.
- Thermal performance: it specifies the thermal performance requirements for sandwich panels, ensuring they meet the energy efficiency standards of the building codes.
- Durability: it outlines the durability requirements for sandwich panels, ensuring they can withstand weathering, moisture, and other environmental factors.
