Florida Specifies ICC-ES As A Statewide Construction Product Evaluator

Recently passed legislation in the state of Florida (House Bill 663) reconfirms ICC Evaluation Service (ICC-ES)—a nonprofit, public-benefit corporation and a subsidiary of the International Code Council—as an approved evaluation entity in the state. As a result, ICC-ES report holders can continue to use ICC-ES evaluation reports on their products as the technical basis for applications for statewide approval with the Florida Building Commission. This action taken by the Florida legislature also leaves in place ICC-ES approval as a validation entity in the state. The dual role of ICC-ES as both an independent evaluation entity and a validation entity is an added value for ICC-ES report holders, providing a cost-saving, turnkey service for manufacturers seeking evaluation and validation that their products are code compliant in Florida.
