- Title
APA-The Engineered Wood Assn. Accredited by ANSI.
- Abstract
This article reports on the accreditation of the American Plywood Association (APA)-The Engineered Wood Association as a standards developer by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI). Borjen Yeh, director of the APA Technical Services Division, claims that one of APA's first tasks is to develop a new performance standard for engineered wood siding for APA's PRP-108 Performance Standards and Policies for Structural Use Panels. The new ANSI standard, when completed, will be eligible for broad acceptance by building codes, as well as regulatory and government agencies. Another consideration is a performance standard for structural insulated panels in wall applications.
