Notes:

Product has been sent to the New Products Review Committee (6/12/18). Product has been moved to Phase 13, Unapproved. Since the comment and Recommendation is complex I have included it with this update. "We have reviewed this product and believe it is not equivalent to standard sound barrier walls with regard to longevity. We recommend not approving this product for general use. Instead, we believe this product should be permitted for use only by plan note in instances where site restrictions require light weight panels. In these special cases this product may be acceptable for use if properly incorporated into the sound barrier wall plans." - (5/10/2021) - BSMITH
