About IAS AC472

IAS AC472 is a new high-quality standard replacing the former AISC-MB certification program. It is written specifically for the metal building industry in cooperation with the Metal Building Manufacturers Association (MBMA). In order to continue MBMA membership, companies must achieve AC472 accreditation by December 31, 2010.

AC472 consists of three parts including Structural, Cold Formed and Design. Part A Structural is modeled after AC172 which primarily covers welding and traceability for structural steel fabrication. AC472 is much broader than AC172 accreditation and encompasses all manufacturing practices and engineering common to the pre-engineered metal building manufacturing industry.
