ICC-ES AC92
Full Name
ICC-ES AC92 – Acceptance Criteria for Polymer-based, Polymer-modified and High-pressure Laminate Exterior and Interior Wall CladdingScope
ICC-ES AC92 outlines the requirements for evaluating wall cladding materials made from polymers, polymer-modified materials, and high-pressure laminates. The scope includes:- Materials: it specifies the acceptable types of polymers, polymer-modified materials, and high-pressure laminates used for wall cladding, ensuring they meet the necessary durability, weather resistance, and fire performance standards.
- Design: it outlines the design requirements for wall cladding systems, considering factors such as substrate compatibility, attachment methods, joint design, and moisture management, to ensure proper installation, weatherproofing, and structural integrity.
- Testing: it details the specific tests required to evaluate the performance of wall cladding materials, including tests for impact resistance, weatherability, fire resistance, and structural performance.
- Evaluation: it provides a framework for evaluating wall cladding systems to ensure they comply with the acceptance criteria, including a review of their design, material properties, and test results.
