New ANSI Standard

The ACMA Pultrusion Industry Council has developed a new industry document titled: Code of Standard Practice for Fabrication and Installation of Pultruded FRP Structures to provide recommendations for construction contract documents, as well as procedures and practices for the fabrication and installation of pultruded FRP structures that is followed by the pultrusion industry manufacturers.

The Code of Standard Practice is an important component to the recently completed LRFD PreStandard for pultruded composite structures. The ACMA Composites Growth Initiative established a new committee called the LRFD Relevant Committee to undertake the process of converting this industry document into a ANSI standard. ACMA submitted a PINS to ANSI for Standards Action Public Review Request, after announcing its intent to create a national standard based on the standard practice code.
