118 ARCHITECTURAL RECORD JANUARY 2022 CONTINUING EDUCATIONEDUCATIONAL-ADVERTISEMENTThe demand for high -performance, durable, aesthetically pleasing, and energy-efficient buildings has led to building envelope designs that incorporate combustible materials such as cladding , insulation, and weather-resistant barriers. Charged with protecting the public health and safety of building occupants and providing safeguards from hazards associated with the built environment, the International Building Code (IBC) mandates all build-ing systems and materials meet prescribed requirements and undergo relevant testing. The IBC outlines the minimum requirements to protect the public health and safety of building occupants, while avoiding both un-necessary costs and preferential treatment of cladding Safety with Metal Composite Material (MCM) and the NFPA 285-19 Faced with an updated test protocol for fire propagation, metal Composite Material cladding is passing the test Sponsored by Metal Construction Association's Metal Composite Material (MCM) AllianceCONTINUING EDUCATION 1 AIA LU/HSW Learning ObjectivesAfter reading this article, you should be able to:1.

component in exterior cladding assemblies (chapters 14 and 26) for Types I through IV construction. In 2009, the IBC expanded NFPA 285 testing to include Section 1408 - EIFS and Section 2612 - fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) systems. Then in 2012, water-resistant barriers (WRB) were added in Section 1403.5, as well as high-pressure
