ICC-ES AC467
Full Name
ICC-ES AC467 – Acceptance Criteria for Proprietary Attachment Systems of Photovoltaic (PV) Arrays to Roof Assemblies
Scope
ICC-ES AC467 outlines the acceptance criteria for evaluating proprietary attachment systems used to secure photovoltaic (PV) arrays to roof assemblies. The scope includes:
- Product evaluation: it provides guidelines for assessing the suitability and performance of proprietary attachment systems for PV arrays.
- Performance requirements: it specifies minimum performance criteria for structural integrity, wind resistance, and pullout resistance based on the specific roof type and geographical location.
- Testing procedures: it outlines the standard test methods to assess the structural performance and wind resistance of the attachment systems, considering various roof types and configurations.
- Quality control: it requires manufacturers to have quality control programs in place to ensure consistent product quality and adherence to the acceptance criteria.
- Labeling requirements: it specifies the information that must be included on product labels to inform users about the product’s intended use, limitations, and compliance with the acceptance criteria.
The scope of AC467 does not include:
- Non-roof applications: The criteria are specifically for attachment systems used on roof assemblies and do not cover ground-mounted or other types of PV installations.
- Electrical components: AC467 focuses on the structural aspects of the attachment systems and does not address the electrical components of the PV system.
