by jbs121808a3 — December 24, 2008—The ICC Evaluation Service (ICC-ES) Plumbing, Mechanical and Fuel Gas Listing Program (PMG) has received accreditation from the American National Standards Institute (ANSI). The PMG program evaluates products’ compliance with the International Codes and other model codes and standards.
ANSI’s accreditation certifies that the PMG program operates under ISO/IEC Guide 65, “General Requirements for Bodies Operating Product Certification Systems,” the same guidelines under which ICC-ES program for evaluation reports is certified. The accreditation of ICC-ES’ new program involved an extensive review of the PMG program’s technical procedures.
A nonprofit, public-benefit corporation, ICC-ES does technical evaluations of building products, components, methods, and materials. ICC-ES evaluation reports and the new listing program for plumbing, mechanical, and gas products provide evidence that products and systems meet code requirements. ICC-ES is a subsidiary of the International Code Council.
