Building product certification confirms that construction materials, components, and systems are evaluated and verified by an independent third-party organization to ensure they meet specified standards for safety, quality, performance, and sustainability.
Building product certification is crucial for:
- Ensuring Safety and Compliance: Certifications ensure that building products meet safety regulations and standards, preventing accidents and protecting occupants.
- Market Access and Competitive Advantage: Certified products can access broader markets, especially in regions with strict regulatory environments. It helps differentiate products from competitors and can be a marketing advantage. · Promoting Innovation and Sustainability: Using proprietary Acceptance Criteria (AC) developed by ICC-ES technical staff and interested parties, new and innovative building products and materials not currently addressed by the code have a basis for evaluation.
- Boosting Consumer Confidence: Knowing a product is certified provides peace of mind to consumers that the materials used are safe and compliant with regulations.
- Meeting Regulatory Requirements: Certification helps businesses meet government and regulatory body requirements.
- Risk Mitigation: Certification reduces the risk of product failures and associated liabilities for manufacturers.
ICC-ES offers several types of building product certifications:
- Evaluation Reports: The gold standard in the industry, Evaluation Service Reports assess a product or assembly for compliance with building codes or criteria, as well as how the product should be identified, installed and much more.
- Listing Reports: Offer a fast and cost-effective way for manufacturers of building products covered by existing consensus standards to show product compliance.
