| APA/ICC-ES Agreement Fast Tracks Evaluation Reports |
APA has signed an agreement with the ICC Evaluation Service (ICC-ES) to establish protocols that will accelerate completion of ICC-ES Evaluation Service Reports (ESR). Under the agreement, APA and ICC-ES will work together to reduce the time to complete evaluation reports. The streamlined effort could save APA member manufacturers as much as six months in the process of obtaining a new or revised ICC-ES Evaluation Report. The protocols formalize and assign time frames to good working practices that have been in place for many years between the two organizations. The protocols apply to I-joists under AC 14 and to structural composite lumber (SCL) under AC 47, but ICC-ES and APA will work to extend the agreement to other products as the need arises. The fast-track protocols apply only to requests submitted through APA and do not apply to submissions that come directly from the manufacturer. |
