Previous versions of <br />the IBC and FBC required testing to comply with ASTM 01781 Test Method for Mechanical Fastens in Wood. Both <br />methods determine a connector's allowable bad as the lowest of the following: <br />1. Lowest ultimate of three teats (or average of 6) with a safety factor of 3 <br />2. Average load at 1/6-inch deflection <br />3. Calculations per American Wood Council National Design Specification for Wood Construction (NDS) <br />The primary changes in ASTM D7147 are requirements to measure properties of the tested materiels, such as steel <br />strength, fastener strength, and wood specific gravity. The tested ultirrlste loads must be adjusted when tested <br />material properties exceed the specified properties. <br />ICC Evaluation Services ([CC -ES) revised AC13 Acceptance Crllerie for Joist Hangs and Similar Devices in <br />October 2018 to incorporate a methodology to evaluate products to the 2015 I -Codes. Simpson Strong -Tie is working <br />on re-evaluating wood construction connector bads to the now standard to update our product evaluation reports to <br />the 2015 I -Codes. As soon as the updated evaluation reports are completed, we will apply for Florida Product <br />Approvals <br />However, reevaluating a large number of products will take time. While manufacturers work with product certification <br />agencies to update their wood connector evaluation reports, we recommend that building departments under the <br />2015 I -Codes and 2017 Florida Codes continue to accept code reports showing compliance to the 2012 and 2014 <br />editions, respectively, until July 2018. <br />The information in this letter is valid until 8/3=18 when d will be re-evaluated by Simpson Strong -Tie.
