Description


Course Description
This one-hour presentation will discuss how evaluation reports and certification programs have been used, and when they are appropriate and not appropriate for steel framing products. Architects, engineers and building officials will learn when they should request evaluation reports, and contractors will learn how to respond when evaluation reports are requested or specified. Handouts will include template submittal letters for both structural and nonstructural standard products when evaluation reports are requested but not required.


Learning objectives
  1. Understand what code evaluation reports are, and how they are used in the wall/ceiling/framing industry.
  2. Identify when evaluation reports are required on nonstandard framing products.
  3. Know when evaluation reports are not required on standard, code-approved framing products.
  4. Show where standard products are listed in building codes and code referenced documents from the American Iron and Steel Institute (AISI) and ASTM International.
