ICC-ES Resumes its Building Department Service Due to Demand
BREA, Calif. — The ICC Evaluation Service (ICC-ES) is reinstating its Building Department Service due to requests and increased demand. This unique program provides technical services to code officials for evaluating a building material, product or system for specific sites.
Through the ICC-ES Building Department Service, building jurisdictions can arrange for ICC-ES experts to investigate, evaluate, and report on specific products or components that are being proposed for use on a given project to determine whether they are acceptable. ICC-ES technical staff are the standard for the industry and are qualified to evaluate a wide range of products including fire-resistive assemblies, sandwich panels, solid-fuel-burning appliances, classified roof coverings, and wall-covering systems. They will review data submitted by the official for compliance with the appropriate code and/or existing ICC-ES acceptance criteria.
