The "alternative criteria process" provides a means to bypass tri-annual hearings of the Evaluation Committee and gain quicker approval of new and revised acceptance criteria. A criteria qualifies for the alternative process only if, in the opinion of ICC-ES staff, it meets one of the following requirements:1. The subject is nonstructural, does not involve life-safety, and is already addressed in nationally recognized standards or generally accepted industry standards.
2. The subject requires its own criteria, but precedent for the new document already exists in other criteria or in the code.
3. Relatively minor (noncontroversial) revisions are being proposed to an existing criteria.
The alternative process is also used by the ICC-ES staff to gain public and Evaluation Committee input on preliminary criteria drafts that are not yet ready to be sent to a committee hearing. Learn more about the process.
