ICC-ES AC309
Full Name
ICC-ES AC309 – Acceptance Criteria for Foam-in-place Polyurethane Foam Plastic Core Doors with Fiberglass Facers
Scope
ICC-ES AC309 outlines the acceptance criteria for foam-in-place polyurethane foam plastic core doors with fiberglass facers. The scope of AC309 includes:
- Materials: it specifies the requirements for the polyurethane foam core, fiberglass facers, adhesives, and other components used in the door construction, including their physical and chemical properties.
- Manufacturing: it details the manufacturing process for these doors, including the foam injection, facing application, and finishing, to ensure consistent quality and performance.
- Performance requirements: it outlines the testing methods and acceptance criteria for evaluating the performance of the doors, including structural integrity, thermal insulation, fire resistance, sound transmission, and air infiltration.
- Durability: it addresses the durability of the doors, including their resistance to moisture, impact, and weathering, to ensure their long-term performance in various environments.
- Quality control: it establishes a quality control program to ensure that the doors consistently meet the requirements of the acceptance criteria, including inspections and testing procedures.
The AC309 acceptance criteria are used by manufacturers to obtain an evaluation report from ICC Evaluation Service (ICC-ES), which demonstrates that their doors comply with the applicable building codes and standards.
