PREFACE
Evaluation reports issued by ICC Evaluation Service, LLC (ICC-ES), are based upon performance features of
the International family of codes. (Some reports may also reference older code families such as the BOCA
National Codes, the Standard Codes, and the Uniform Codes.) Section 104.11 of the International Building Code
reads as follows:
The provisions of this code are not intended to prevent the installation of any materials or to
prohibit any design or method of construction not specifically prescribed by this code,
provided that any such alternative has been approved. An alternative material, design or
method of construction shall be approved where the building official finds that the proposed
design is satisfactory and complies with the intent of the provisions of this code, and that the
material, method or work offered is, for the purpose intended, at least the equivalent of that
prescribed in this code in quality, strength, effectiveness, fire resistance, durability and safety.
This acceptance criteria has been issued to provide interested parties with guidelines for demonstrating
compliance with performance features of the codes referenced in the criteria. The criteria was developed through
a transparent process involving public hearings of the ICC-ES Evaluation Committee, and/or on-line postings
where public comment was solicited.
New acceptance criteria will only have an approved date, which is the date the document was approved by
the Evaluation Committee. When existing acceptance criteria are revised, the Evaluation Committee will decide
whether the revised document should carry only an approved date, or an approved date combined with a
compliance date. The compliance date is the date by which relevant evaluation reports must comply with the
requirements of the criteria. See the ICC-ES web site for more information on compliance dates.
If this criteria is a revised edition, a solid vertical line () in the margin within the criteria indicates a change
from the previous edition. A deletion indicator () is provided in the margin where any significant wording has
been deleted.
ICC-ES may consider alternate criteria for report approval, provided the report applicant submits data
demonstrating that the alternate criteria are at least equivalent to the criteria set forth in this document, and
otherwise demonstrate compliance with the performance features of the codes. ICC-ES retains the right to refuse
to issue or renew any evaluation report, if the applicable product, material, or method of construction is such that
either unusual care with its installation or use must be exercised for satisfactory performance, or if
malfunctioning is apt to cause injury or unreasonable damage.
NOTE: The Preface for ICC-ES acceptance criteria was revised in July 2011 to reflect changes in policy.
Acceptance criteria are developed for use solely by ICC-ES for purpose of issuing ICC-ES evaluation reports.

Allowable loads from tests conducted under Section 4.2.2 of this criteria shall be calculated using the methods described in Section 3.3.
Fasteners shall be evaluated in accordance with Section 3.3.5 and exhibit bending yield strength values equal to or exceeding strengths
shown in the NDS for an equivalent diameter.
2
For step shank fasteners, the smallest diameter of the fastener is considered the shank diameter for purposes of this table.
3
Spacings are based on attachment through the center of 2-inch nominal thickness wood, with specific gravity of 0.5 or greater, to concrete
floor slabs or footings in accordance with Section 2308.6 of the IBC or Section R403.1.6 of the IRC. For species combinations with specific
gravities less than 0.5, the required spacings of fasteners shall be computed based on the tributary wall height and the lesser of either the
tabulated allowable load or the reference lateral design value taken from the NDS.
4
Larger category shank diameter may meet minimum load requirements of a smaller category shank diameter provided spacing requirements
are also applied.
The following footnotes shall be added to the table in the evaluation report:
1
Fasteners shall not be driven until the concrete has reached a minimum concrete compressive strength of 2,500 psi.
2
Interior nonstructural walls are limited to locations where bearing walls, shear walls or braced walls are not required by the approved plans.

3
All fasteners shall be installed with a either a preinstalled washer or a minimum /4-inch-diameter, No. 16 gage (0.0598-inch) washer.
4
Fasteners shall be driven into the center of the sill plate and be at least 1 inch from the concrete edge.
5
Walls shall have fasteners placed at 6 inches from ends of sill plates with maximum spacing between, as shown in this table.
6
Walls shall be laterally supported at the top and the bottom.
7
Sill or bottom plates shall comply with IBC Section 2304.1 and be of lumber with a specific gravity of ___ or greater.
8
Minimum spacings shall be___ inches on center (per the manufacturer) or shall comply with Section 11.1.5 of the NDS to prevent splitting of
the wood.
9
