ICC-ES AC30
Full Name
ICC-ES AC30 – Acceptance Criteria for Fire-resistant Joint SystemsScope
The scope of ICC-ES AC30 covers the following:- Materials: the types of materials suitable for use in fire-resistant joint systems, including requirements for their fire-resistant properties and ability to withstand high temperatures.
- Design: design requirements for joint systems to ensure they function effectively during a fire, considering factors like joint movement, thermal expansion, and compatibility with other building materials.
- Testing: the specific fire tests that joint systems must undergo to demonstrate their performance, including assessments of flame spread, smoke development, and temperature transmission.
- Evaluation: the process for evaluating joint systems to determine if they meet the acceptance criteria, including a review of their design, materials, and test results.
