Manufacturers can go to the jurisdictions in both the U.S. and Canada and have their products readily approved by the code officials of the two countries.

If the product successfully meets applicable requirements, ICC-ES will issue the listing within eight weeks or less of the initial application. To find out if your product qualifies for this program, contact an ICC-ES Connect+ Customer Care representative at 1-800-423-6587 ext. 1.
