As an American National Standards Institute-accredited standards development organization, SFIA assumes the management of these test standards, along with six CFS framing standards previously transferred to SFIA. The CFS framing standards and the S900 series test standards will be governed by the newly formed SFIA Standards Committee and managed by SFIA using the Canvass Method. 

Jay Larson, P.E., F.ASCE, is secretariat of the SFIA Standards Committee. Meredith Perez is the SFIA Standards Committee administrator.

The canvass groups are now being formed. Those interested in participating in steel framing standards development should complete the Cold-Formed Steel Framing Standards Development Expression of Interest Survey.

“We are pleased that the SFIA leadership and members were able to support the decision to accelerate the transfer of standards formerly maintained by AISI, without interruption of the code acceptance process,” said Don Allen, SFIA executive director. “With the staff and volunteers now in place to move these standards forward, we envision a transparent but less-costly process for keeping both framing and testing standards current and in synch with the building codes.”

In addition to the above-named test standards, the SFIA Standards Committee is also responsible for the maintenance of S202 - Code of Standard Practice for Cold-Formed Steel Structural Framing, S220 - North American Standard for Cold-Formed Steel Nonstructural Framing, S230 - Standard for Cold-Formed Steel Framing – Prescriptive Method for One- and Two-Family Dwellings, S240 - North American Standard for Cold-Formed Steel Structural Framing, S250 - North American Standard for Thermal Transmittance of Building Envelopes with Cold-Formed Steel Framing and S400 - North American Standard for Seismic Design of Cold-Formed Steel Structural Systems.
