Webinar On-Demand
ANSI/SPRI ES-1 has been a code requirement for roof edge metal copings, fascia and gravel stop dating back to IBC 2003. Even though the requirement has tenure, understanding and design implementation still continues to be inconsistent.
In this webinar, Mark S. Graham, vice president, technical services for the National Roofing Contractors Association will provide an overview of the ANSI/SPRI/FM 4435/ES-1-2017 test standard, discuss NRCA's ES-1 testing, explain how this testing can be applied to roof system designs and review NRCA's certification program for ES-1 compliance.
ANSI/SPRI GT-1, which applies to gutters, has also been incorporated into IBC 2021. GT-1 will also be discussed.
