Full Name
ICC-ES AC333 – Acceptance Criteria for Injection Molded Composite Material (IMCM) Wall Panels
Scope
ICC-ES AC333 defines the acceptance criteria for injection molded composite material (IMCM) wall panels to be recognized in an ICC-ES evaluation report under the International Building Code (IBC).
The scope of AC333 includes:
- Materials: specifies acceptable materials for IMCM wall panels, including the composite materials and their constituents.
- Design and construction: outlines design and construction requirements for the panels, ensuring structural integrity, fire resistance, and weather resistance.
- Performance: defines the performance criteria that the panels must meet, such as structural strength, thermal insulation, and sound transmission reduction.
- Testing: details the testing procedures used to evaluate the performance of IMCM wall panels, including structural, fire, and thermal tests.
By defining these criteria, AC333 ensures that IMCM wall panels meet the necessary standards for safety, performance, and compliance with building codes. It provides confidence to building officials, designers, and builders that these panels are suitable for use in various construction applications.
