Complies with the 2021 International Building Code and AISI S100-16/S2-20 <br />Technical Guide for Cold-Formed Steel Framing. <br />A downloadable version of this publication is available here. <br />The current edition of the SFIA Product Technical Guide does <br />not include tables for Ceiling Span conditions that may only be <br />occasionally needed by the designer. These are available in a <br />separate document which can also be downloaded in this section <br />of the Resource Center. <br />Code Compliance Research Report, CCRR-0224. <br />The SFIA Code Compliance Research Report (CCRR), issued <br />by Architectural Testing Inc., provides the evidence, technical <br />information, and professional evaluation that standard cold- <br />formed steel framing stud and track manufactured by SFIA <br />members comply with the 2021 International Building Code, <br />2021 International Residential Code, 2020 Florida Building Code <br />including High Velocity Hurricane Zone (HVHZ), and the 2022 <br />California Building Code. <br />ICC-Evaluation Service Report, ICC-ES 4205. <br />Evaluation reports from ICC Evaluation Service® may be used by <br />code offi cials to verify that building products manufactured by SFIA <br />members comply with code requirements. The evaluation reports <br />provide information about what code requirements or acceptance <br />criteria were used to evaluate the product, how the product should <br />be installed to meet the requirements, how to identify the product, <br />and much more. ES Reports are divided into eleven major areas. <br />Guide Specifi cations <br />Section 05400 - Cold-Formed Metal Framing <br />For use in the preparation of a project specifi cation section <br />covering cold-formed steel exterior wall studs, fl oor joists, <br />trusses, ceiling and roof joists, and rafters. Materials may be <br />fi eld installed or shop fabricated and fi eld erected. Studs may <br />be either axially-load bearing or non-axially load bearing. <br />Section 092216 - Nonstructural Metal Framing <br />For use in the preparation of a project specifi cation section <br />covering metal framing systems for interior non-load bearing <br />walls, interior ceilings and exterior soffi ts. <br />LEED and Sustainability <br />LEED®ing with Cold-Formed Steel: Cold-formed steel products <br />manufactured by Steel Framing Industry Association members <br />help your project quality for up to 7 points under LEED® v4 for <br />BD+C <br />Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) for Cold- <br />Formed Steel Framing <br />EPDs are developed from a Life Cycle Assessment and can help <br />designers earn credits under LEED v4. This EPD represents cold- <br />formed steel (CFS) studs and track made from hot-dip galvanized <br />steel, produced and manufactured in U.S. and Canada. The steel <br />in the studs and track is produced at a mix of steel mill types in the <br />U.S. and Canada, which use both the BOF (basic oxygen furnace) <br />and EAF (electric arc furnace) route for steelmaking <br />Apparent Sound Insulation in Cold-Formed Steel <br />Buildings <br />This report provides the Design Professional with information that <br />maybe needed for enhanced sound control in buildings using <br />ASTC rather than STC. <br />Typical Construction Details <br />They are intended to provide designers and contractors with <br />guidance on design, detailing, and construction of buildings that <br />utilize cold-formed steel framing members. These products should <br />not be used in design or construction without an independent <br />evaluation by a qualifi ed engineer or architect to verify the <br />suitability of a particular product for use in a specifi c application. <br />Directory of Fire and Acoustic Rated Assemblies. <br />This searchable directory provides the user with the ability to <br />search a comprehensive range of fi re and sound-rated cold- <br />formed steel fl oor, wall and roof assemblies as listed by the major <br />recognized testing agencies. <br />Wall System Design Center. <br />An online resource that provides architects, owners, developers, <br />and contractors with needed information about integrated wall <br />and ceiling solutions, including how to assess the performance <br />attributes of the various system components, and to help <br />determine how these various components can impact the overall <br />performance of the system. <br />As the use of cold-formed steel has grown over the past 60 years, so has the number of resources available to <br />engineers, architects, contractors, and suppliers. The Resource Center of the Steel Framing Industry Association web <br />site (www.CFSteel.org/resources) is intended to help the design and construction professional cut through the clutter <br />to fi nd needed resource and contains a number of downloadable publications and links to other technical resources.
