ICC-ES AC330
Full Name
ICC-ES AC330 – Acceptance Criteria for Corrugated Asphalt Roofing Sheets and Tiles
Scope
ICC-ES AC330 outlines the acceptance criteria for corrugated asphalt roofing sheets and tiles used in residential and commercial construction. The scope of AC330 includes:
- Materials: it specifies the requirements for the asphalt, reinforcements, and other components used in the manufacture of the roofing sheets and tiles, ensuring their suitability for roofing applications.
- Manufacturing: it details the manufacturing processes, including the formation, impregnation, and coating of the sheets and tiles, to ensure consistent quality and performance.
- Physical properties: it outlines the testing methods and acceptance criteria for evaluating the physical properties of the roofing materials, such as dimensions, weight, and flexibility.
- Performance: it specifies the requirements for the performance of the roofing materials, including their resistance to wind uplift, water penetration, impact, and fire.
- Durability: it addresses the durability of the roofing materials, ensuring they can withstand long-term exposure to weathering, UV radiation, and other environmental factors.
- Quality control: it establishes a quality control program to ensure that the roofing products consistently meet the requirements of the acceptance criteria, including inspections and testing procedures.
The AC330 acceptance criteria are used by manufacturers to obtain an evaluation report from ICC Evaluation Service (ICC-ES), which demonstrates that their roofing products comply with the applicable building codes and standards.
