Abstract:
Code professionals are responsible for ensuring that innovative products meet the same requirements for strength, reliability, and longevity as more conventional solutions. ICC Evaluation Service, Inc. (ICC-ES), a subsidiary of the International Code Council®, helps product manufacturers by developing acceptance criteria and reviewing test information related to code requirements. The evaluation process is outlined using an innovative, sustainable wall product as an example.
