Steps

  1. Download the ANSI/EIMA 99-A-2017 standard PDF, currently posted free on eima.com (no paywall as of this check)
  2. Note EIMA is actively revising this standard to add adhered manufactured masonry veneer and mineral wool options -- confirm whether a newer edition has superseded 99-A-2017 before citing it
  3. Cross-check the eima.com 'EIFS Standards' page for any addenda or errata issued after the 2017 edition
  4. Compare requirements against the specific EIFS manufacturer's proprietary system (Dryvit, Sto, Master Wall, etc.), since EIFS approval is manufacturer-specific even though EIMA sets the baseline
  5. Verify local code adoption -- the IBC/IRC reference ASTM/ICC-ES evaluation reports for EIFS rather than adopting EIMA standards directly by name
