ICC-ES AC70 Testing for Powder / Power Actuated Fasteners
Specialized Testing qualifies powder and power actuated fasteners to ICC-ES AC70, the acceptance criteria for fasteners power-driven into concrete, steel, and masonry elements. AC70 is the criteria ICC-ES applies before a power actuated fastener can be recognized in an evaluation report under the IBC and IRC.
We are an IAS-accredited, ISO/IEC 17025:2017 laboratory in Santa Fe Springs, California, testing for manufacturers nationwide.
WHAT IS
Powder / Power Actuated Fasteners Testing
?
Powder and power actuated fastener testing is the process of subjecting power-driven fasteners to a number of strenuous forces, including static tension, shear, and oblique forces, as well as conducting proper functioning tests and certain suitability tests according to ASTM and ICC standards.
ICC-ES AC70 is the criteria that governs this work. It covers fasteners power-driven into concrete, steel, and masonry elements, and it sets the tension, shear, proper functioning, and suitability requirements a fastener has to meet. A manufacturer seeking an ICC-ES evaluation report for a power actuated fastener is testing to AC70.
Powder actuated and power actuated describe the same fastener. The trade increasingly uses power actuated, which covers powder-driven, pneumatic, and electric tools.
Powder and power actuated fastener testing is done by trained professionals in a controlled environment, with highly specialized and calibrated mechanical equipment and computer systems.
