ICC-ES President John Nosse explains why ICC-ES Evaluation Reports are so important. “DEMILEC (USA) can now reference the evaluation report to ensure building officials and the building industry that the product meets I-Code requirements,” Nosse said. “Building departments have a long history of using evaluation reports, and ICC-ES operates as a technical resource for the building department.  Final approval of building products is always in the hands of the local regulatory agency.”
