What’s the purpose of developing MgO standards? Beyond the benefits that apply in general to standardized material, standard specifications lead to wider acceptance of a building material by increasing confidence in the public and with professionals who use the product. Eventually, these standards can be used as the basis for inclusion in building codes. ICC is currently developing a standard (ICC 1125) to address magnesium oxide building products.
As with any innovative building product, manufacturers of MgO boards must demonstrate to their customers and local authorities having jurisdiction that their products are safe and effective. ICC-ES provides testing and certification services to provide proof of code compliance under AC386 for Fiber-reinforced Magnesium-oxide-based Sheets.
