A new American National Standard for engineered wood panel siding, Standard for Performance-Rated Engineered Wood Siding (ANSI/APA PRP-210),  was approved for acceptance into the 2012 International Codes at the 2009 Code Development Hearings in Baltimore, MD. The standard was developed by APA under the consensus process of the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) and was approved for publication by ANSI in December 2008.

The results of the Code Development Hearings, which ran from October 24 through November 11, 2009, are now subject to public comments before final action is taken by the ICC governmental members at the Final Action Hearings on May 14 through 23, 2010 in Dallas, TX for the International Building Code (IBC), and on October 28 through November 1, 2010 in Charlotte, NC for the International Residential Code (IRC) and International Energy Conservation Code (IECC).
