Steps

  1. Confirm the current ES-1 edition — re-approved as an American National Standard in November 2022 as ANSI/SPRI/FM 4435/ES-1 — and download it from spri.org/standards
  2. Confirm ES-1 is referenced by the applicable IBC edition (referenced in IBC 2024) and by the local AHJ as a mandatory test requirement for perimeter edge-metal systems
  3. Identify which edge conditions ES-1 covers (embedded edge metal, metal fascia, metal coping) — note ES-1 explicitly does NOT apply to gutters
  4. Determine the required edge-metal wind resistance from the project's calculated ASCE 7 perimeter/corner zone pressures and confirm the specified edge system has ES-1 test data covering that pressure
  5. Obtain manufacturer ES-1 test documentation/certification for the specific edge-metal profile, fastener spacing, and cleat gauge being installed — not just a general product line claim
