4. DESCRIPTION OF BUILDING COMPONENT
See attached design value page and two American – two Canadian PFS Certificates of Conformance
Relam® components are edge laminated and finger-jointed black spruce and jack pine up to 24 feet
length. Available in depths up to 16-in. and thickness of 1-1/4 up to 1-1/2. Made using an adhesive
(NER-165, CCMC 12905R) intended for structural use where high resistance to moisture is required in
roof, wall and floor subjected to sustained loadings such as live or snow loads.
5. APPLICABLE CODES OR STANDARDS LAMCO RELAM® and RELAM-LFS® products bearing the PFS
mark are listed by the PFS Corporation to ASTM D 5456-99a (Evaluation of Structural Composite Lumber
Products as referenced in Model Codes) for use in HUD manufactured homes, modular buildings,
and conventional site built construction. RELAM LFS® RIMBOARD has not been tested for 16” to ASTM
D 5456. Hence, no design values
6. LIMITATIONS OF ACCEPTANCE (IF ANY) Holes or notches using criteria for solid sawn lumber per
NDS or as substantiated by engineering calculations verified by a registered professional engineer
using the criteria for solid sawn lumber.
This is a Building Code Acceptance Only. For building components to be certified, an
accepted concurrent QA Program is also required.

2. LISTING BY BUILDING COMPONENT ACCEPTANCE REPORT (BCAR)
Manufactured building components are listed by Building Component Acceptance Report (BCAR). The
identification of fabricator, documents submitted for acceptance, description of building component,
applicable codes or standards, and limitation of acceptance are contained in the report. The report
number identified in the PFS Listing Directory is the BCAR Acceptance Number.
The presence of the PFS trademark as shown below is identification of a listed building component.
The promulgation of the BCAR is contingent upon the manufacturer entering into a contract with PFS for
follow-up quality control service and product listing. Under the Trademark License Agreement with PFS the
manufacturer of a building component submits documents to PFS for review and acceptance. Upon final
PFS acceptance, a BCAR is issued and the manufacturer is authorized to attach labels or other authorized
evidences of the PFS trademark to his building component which is found by him to be in compliance with
the PFS BCAR. Representatives of PFS perform periodic inspections and/or tests of the component at the
factory or from time to time elsewhere. Failure to comply with this Agreement may result in withdrawal of the
PFS trademark.

SPAN : When Relam-LFS
®
Rimboard is used as a beam / header or to span openings, calculate allowable span using values listed herein.
NOTES 1. Not adjusted for end use.
2. The listed value of Ft is for a length of 24-inches or less. For up to 24-feet lengths, calculate allowable tensile
stress Ft' at Length L, using: Ft' = (24 / L)0.15 × Ft, where L = Length of member and Ft = listed value herein.
3. Acceptable for use as rafters, beams, headers, studs, columns, wall plates, joists, rimboard and wood trusses.
