Updated Code Guides Design and Installation of Gypsum Panels
As a code referenced document, GA-216 Application and Finishing of Gypsum Panel Products is revised every three years. Beginning in 2018, GA-216 will be revised and released to coincide with the 2021 code revision cycle and to better align with the Association’s other code-referenced documents, namely GA-600 Fire Resistance and Sound Control Design Manual and GA-253 Application of Gypsum Sheathing. GA-216 is referenced in the International Building Code (and other “I-Codes”) as well as NFPA 5000 as a standard for the application and installation of gypsum panels.
