Brea, Calif. – ICC Evaluation Service (ICC-ES), a member of the International Code Council of Family of Solutions and the experts in building product evaluation and certification, issued ESR-4410 to Kemset USA, Inc. for their product EkoPlast-50, a cementitious exterior wall covering installed over exterior walls of wood framed, concrete or masonry construction.
The report provides evidence that the EkoPlast-50 is in compliance with code requirements of the 2018 International Building Code (IBC) and the 2018 International Residential Code (IRC), and
determined to comply as an alternate to exterior plaster. When installed in accordance with the report, the EkoPlast-50 plaster may be installed on concrete or concrete masonry walls required to be Type I, II, III, IV and V construction.
The ICC-ES team performed their technical review above and beyond the expectations of the client using sophisticated digital capabilities – proactively implemented – to ensure consistent, quality service.
“The efforts of the ICC-ES team resulted in a speedy review and completion of the project,” said Kemset Vice President Hikmet Aksel. “ICC-ES met my expectations despite the challenges that Covid brought. It was a pleasure working with the staff and we look forward to certifying the rest of the building products that Kemset USA is developing.”
