ICC-ES code-compliant plumbing, mechanical, fuel gas product list grows

by jbs051809 g3 — May 20, 2009—The ICC Evaluation Service, Inc. (ICC-ES) PMG Listing Program has experienced tremendous growth in the last year with more than 30 plumbing, mechanical, and fuel gas (PMG) product listings from manufacturers around the world.

First introduced in February 2008, the ICC-ES PMG Listing Program verifies that plumbing, mechanical, and fuel gas (PMG) products meet the industry’s leading codes and standards. ICC-ES lists innovative and established products that span the PMG market, including ducts, heating, cooling pipe, hoods, ventilation equipment, and shower pan liners.

ICC-ES PMG evaluates products based on requirements in one or more codes, including the International Plumbing Code, International Mechanical Code, International Residential Code, International Fuel Gas Code, Uniform Plumbing Code, and Uniform Mechanical Code.

The ICC-ES PMG listing service provides manufacturers with a quick and cost-effective way to get code-compliant products listed and into the market. Manufacturers pursuing listings with ICC-ES can expect to pay up to 20 percent less than they would for services provided by other listing agencies, according to ICC.
