Full Name
ICC-ES AC39 – Acceptance Criteria for Walking DecksScope
ICC-ES AC39 defines the requirements and evaluation methods for walking deck systems intended for pedestrian traffic. Its scope encompasses:- Materials: it specifies the acceptable materials for walking deck systems, including cementitious coatings, elastomeric coatings, and membrane systems, as well as the suitable substrates such as plywood, concrete, and steel.
- Performance requirements: it outlines the performance criteria for walking decks, including requirements for wear resistance, slip resistance, fire resistance, and structural capacity to withstand pedestrian loads.
- Testing procedures: it details the standardized testing methods for evaluating the performance characteristics of walking deck systems, including tests for abrasion resistance, slip resistance, fire resistance, and structural load testing.
- Installation requirements: it provides guidelines for the proper installation of walking deck systems to ensure their performance and durability.
- Evaluation and certification: it outlines the process for evaluating and certifying walking deck systems to ensure they meet the acceptance criteria.
