Achieves\u00a0New Industry Standard\u00a0for Testing and Certifying Snow Retention Devices"},"content":{"rendered":"\n

S-5! announced another \u201cfirst\u201d: it is the first and only company to receive <\/strong>an Evaluation Report (ER) from the International Association of Plumbing and Mechanical Officials (IAPMO), certifying its snow retention systems\u2019 compliance with Evaluation Criteria (EC) 029-2018 for Standing Seam Metal Roof-Mounted Rail-Type Snow Retention Systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the company, in the absence of building code that covers snow retention, compliance with the IAPMO EC 029\u20132018 is \u201ccode equivalent\u201d and may be utilized by specification to qualify proper design, testing and production.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An EC document from IAPMO is a consensus of professionals concerning the specifics of how a product or system is to be evaluated and how the results are interpreted and applied. The EC is analogous to the Acceptance Criteria (AC) document from the International Code Council-Evaluation Service (ICC-ES).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Evaluation Reports (ER) from IAPMO certifying compliance to an EC are widely accepted by jurisdictional code compliance agencies whereas other means of evaluation often are not. Of note is that the IAPMO EC 029\u20132018 is also harmonious with the Metal Construction Association\u2019s document on \u201cQualifying Snow Retention Systems for Metal Roofing.\u201d<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI am thrilled that there is finally an industry consensus standard for testing and certifying snow retention devices, and that S-5! has been approved to this new standard,\u201d said Rob Haddock, CEO and founder of S-5!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 \u201cProduct production, testing and certification are of utmost importance to public safety,\u201d continued Haddock. \u201cWhile other providers have joined the marketplace since I first invented S-5! penetration-free attachment technologies, this market space has been completely unregulated. The result is that many applications are not appropriately engineered for specific design loads, posing a threat to public safety and potential liability for the owner, contractor and\/or designer. I expect that this new standard will set the bar for the importance of tested and certified snow retention systems, and I hope other producers will follow with compliance.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
