Dietrich Metal Framing has been and remains committed to providing code compliant materials, as well as training and education for contractors, architects, and code officials on fundamental properties of achieving and maintaining code compliance.

Code Compliance Training:
This PowerPoint presentation explains the four requirements that cold-formed steel studs must meet in order to be in conformance with IBC2003 and IBC2006. These are:

• Coatings
• Material Thickness
• Stud Physical Dimensions
• Marking and Identification

In addition, we explore what you may not be aware of with regard to fire-rated partitions and the use of non-conforming studs.

Code officials who can use a condensed version of this information, presented in a checklist format, may wish to check out our Code Compliance Checklists.

The course provides an in-depth analysis of the two major ASTM standards that govern the manufacture and installation requirements of interior nonstructural steel framing members. It also reviews gypsum board installation and mechanical bridging methods. The course concludes with an examination of a commonly specified fire-rated partition.
