With the ICC-ES certification, IDC can now distribute its products in both the U.S. and Canada. "We are extremely pleased with IDC's decision to certify their products with ICC-ES. They are a major manufacturer in China and were looking to save money while still maintaining the quality of their certification reports," said Dawn LaFleur Qualley, Program Director of ICC-ES PMG.
