Why an ICC-ES Report or Listing?
ICC-ES is the United States' leading evaluation service for innovative construction materials and systems. ICC-ES works in conjunction with its parent organization, the International Code Council (ICC), to develop and foster safe and sustainable design and construction. ICC-ES has more than 80 years of experience and has hundreds of active Evaluation Reports.

ICC is the publisher of the International Codes, including the Florida Codes and Supplements. The Code Council's relationship with local officials reinforces ICC-ES as the pre-eminent provider of evaluation services in Florida.

Written by experienced engineers who evaluate every application, ICC-ES Evaluation Reports, Sustainable Attributes Verification and Evaluation (SAVE) Verification of Attributes Reports (VARs), and Plumbing, Mechanical and Fuel Gas (PMG) Listings are:

  • Widely accepted in Florida and throughout the United States
  • Proven to be a trusted source showing applicable building requirements
  • Proven to provide a competitive advantage to manufacturers
  • Posted online for direct access

Supporting building officials and manufacturers.

The leader in evaluating building products for compliance with code, ICC-ES performs technical evaluations of building products, components, methods, and materials. With three signature programs, ICC-ES Evaluation Reports, Sustainable Reports, Sustainable Attributes Verification and Evaluation(SAVE) and the Plumbing Mechanical and Fuel Gas (PMG) Listing Program, ICC-ES offers the best evidence that products and systems comply with codes and/or standards and meet sustainable guidelines.


Need more convincing?
The evaluation process results in a report or listing on code compliance, which is available free of charge to code officials, contractors, specifiers, architects, engineers, and anyone else with an interest in the building industry and construction. ICC-ES Evaluation Reports are now embedded in eCodes Premium, directly connecting chapters and specific sections of ICC's 2006 International Codes to related product reports or listings.

And now with the need to "be green", The SAVE program has been created by ICC-ES to provide independent verification of products' sustainable attributes. The result is a VAR which is available online at the conclusion of the process. Read more about the importance of a SAVE VAR report here.


Why ICC-ES? Why Now?

ICC-ES has established its trustworthiness among Florida building officials who recognize ICC-ES as the preeminent resource for evaluation reports. In fact, recently passed legislation confirms that ICC-ES is an approved evaluation entity in the state since the inception of the mandatory product approval system and prior to that as one of the three MCO's. As a result of this legislation, ICC-ES report holders can use ICC-ES Evaluation Reports as the technical basis for their applications when they seek statewide approval with the Florida Building Commission.
