RE: Seismic design requirements for nonstructural components

Check ASCE 7-05, Section 11.7.

What are the seismic requirements for nonstructural components for a building in seismic design category A?
I'm currently using IBC 2003 and ASCE 7-05 on a project in the UAE. It is my understanding that chapter 13 of ASCE-7 does not applies to category A building but I'm not totally sure.
 
Thanks for any hints
