The International Code Council (ICC) and its legacy organizations — namely the International Conference of Building Officials, Building Officials and Code Administrators International, and the Southern Building Code Congress International — have been known for years for both the building codes and building product evaluation. What many people may not realize is the experience and the dominance of the Code Council and ICC-ES in the areas of plumbing, mechanical and gas codes, and product certification.

The Code Council's International Plumbing Code has been adopted in more states than any other plumbing code published in the U.S. The International Mechanical Code has been adopted in 49 states as well. The evaluation service program has been certifying plumbing and mechanical codes for decades.

Why do clients come to ICC-ES for their certification needs?

  • Because our marks of conformity are what the code officials look for.
  • Our evaluation process is fast and thorough and is what code officials trust.
  • The International Code Council enjoys the membership of 63,000 members, 15,000 of which are code officials and plumbing inspectors that look for our mark of conformity.

  • Code officials and inspectors in the U.S. and Canada, many of who are members of the International Code Council, readily recognize and trust the ICC-ES PMG mark of conformity. Some look for only the PMG mark when approving products for installation.
  • ICC-ES PMG's product evaluation is the most comprehensive product evaluation in the industry. Products are evaluated to the International Plumbing Code, International Residential Code, and National Plumbing Code of Canada, as well as any local and state codes (at the request of the clients).
  • ICC-ES PMG performs not only thorough evaluations, but also expedited evaluations. While others may use monthly committee meetings with a group of bureaucrats, ICC-ES uses the services of experienced engineers with many years of codes and standards experience.
  • ICC-ES PMG does not conduct useless warehouse inspections, saving manufacturers money and time.
  • ICC-ES PMG offers free WaterSense listings.
  • It offers free NSF 372 and lead law listings.
  • The NSF 61 listing is normally in the same file as the performance file applicable to the product, hence, there are no additional fees for maintenance of NSF 61 listings.
