SPONSOR
ICC-ES is the United States’ leader in evaluating innovative building products for compliance with code. A nonprofit, public-benefit corporation, ICC-ES does technical evaluations of building products, components, methods, and materials. The evaluation process culminates with the issuance of reports on code compliance, which are made 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 provide evidence that products and systems meet code requirements.
ICC-ES is a subsidiary of the International Code Council®, a membership association dedicated to building safety and fire prevention that develops the codes used to construct residential and commercial buildings, including homes and schools. Most U.S. cities, counties, and states that adopt codes choose the International Codes® developed by the International Code Council.
