Work About to Begin on New ANSI Rimboard Standard

[hausdok]

APA has initiated the process of developing a new American National Standards Institute (ANSI) consensus standard for rimboard under APA’s recognition as an (ANSI) accredited standards developer. The standard, to be based on APA’s Performance Standard for APA EWS Rim Boards, PRR-401, will be developed by a committee of stakeholders, including manufacturers, distributors, designers, end users and building code regulators.

APA utilized its ANSI accreditation to spearhead development of a new engineered wood siding standard (PRP-210), recently published, and is also working on development of a national consensus standard for structural insulated panels in cooperation with the Structural Insulated Panel Association (SIPA).
