Metal Composite Materials (IBC table 1407.11.3.4)

[Paul Sweet]

IBC 1407.11.3.3.2 defines Class CC1 Metal Composite Materials as having a lower burn rate than class CC2.

Table 1407.11.3.4 allows class CC1 to have a greater % coverage and area than CC2 for fire separation distances of 6 to 30 ft., but lists the maximum area of a CC1 panel with over 30 ft. fire separation distance as "Not Permitted". Shouldn't that say "Not limited"?

IMO, Yes, ...or provide a square foot amount.# ~ # ~ #

The table is the same in the 2015 IBC without errata. The commentary for 1407.11.3.2: "Consistent with the requirements for plastic wall panels in accordance with Section 2607.1,"
