The approval of some building products and designs, including new and innovative products, requires special evaluations as defined by the code. An Evaluation Report or Listing that clearly demonstrates compliance with the intent of applicable model codes, standards or specific state/local requirements can be an efficient and a great choice to assist in gaining those approvals. Obtaining such a Report or Listing often requires a precise approach, including: a test plan, testing at approved facilities, evaluation of the data in accordance with the codes and standards, and a quality assurance program.
The Construction Products Group helps make the process easier, and is comprised of three organizations (UES/IBT/QCC) ready to guide and ensure you reach your goals efficiently.
