Acode report, also known as an ICC-ESR, provides evidence that the named barrier performs as a water-resistive barrier as called for
in IBC 1404.2.
environmental conditioning, and water penetration testing of entire assemblies. This comprehensive test set addresses the recognized conditions observed on framed assemblies, which is precisely where WRBs have been called into use by building codes for decades. To be sure, the behavior of a framed wall is demonstrably different than that of a below�grade or above-grade CMU wall when considering the cyclic and transverse loads imposed upon these assemblies. If a fluid-applied WRB system is capable of maintaining integrity and withstanding water penetration through all these tests, it becomes recognized as a WRB by ICC-ES through the issuance of a code-report -also known as an ICC-Evaluation Service Report (ICC-ESR). This report provides evidence to the public as well as code officials worldwide that the named barrier performs as a WRB as called for in IBC 1404.2.
When selecting materials for sheathed wall projects, where WRBs are required per the building code, one can properly identify fluid-applied air barriers that are also WRBs by going directly to the qualifying body, the ICC Evaluation Service. On the ICC-ES website, www.icc-es.org , simply follow the link for evaluation reports and search by manufacturer or product to correctly ascertain whether a particular fluid-applied air barrier meets the ICC-ES re�quirements of a WRB.
You can also visit www.enershield.basf.com to learn more about Enershield fluid-applied air/water-resistive barriers. This product is not only an IECC and Air Barrier Association ofAmerica (ABAA) qualified air barrier, but after extensive independent third-party evaluation, is also recognized as a wa�ter-resistive barrier by ICC Evaluation Service LLC and meets the WRB requirements in IBC-1404.2.
