Premier SIPS’ revised ICC ESR-4524 was just published by ICC Evaluation Services and contains the latest updates to the most current Building Code requirements. The most significant update to the 4524 was the addition of four wall assemblies that can be used in Seismic Zones A, B C, D, E and F, that meet the full requirements of ICC Acceptance Criteria AC04, Sandwich Panels Acceptance.
All of the A through F seismic zone Premier SIPS wall assemblies are recognized by ICC as being tested for seismic shear loads while under vertical loading. Premier SIPS achieved recognition from ICC Evaluation Services by conducting extensive Seismic Wall Testing at an internationally recognized testing laboratory, following the additional requirements within AC436. What this seismic update to 4524 means is that designers can now meet the prescriptive requirements for seismic walls when using the International Building Code, the International Residential Code and many other state and local building codes that model their codes from the I Codes published by the International Code Council. Municipalities such as Portland, Seattle, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Anchorage and many others in D, E and F seismic regions can make better determinations that Premier SIPS will perform in their high seismic jurisdictions.
