ICC-ES President John Nosse explains why ICC-ES Evaluation Reports are so important. “Gallina can now reference the evaluation report to ensure building officials and the building industry that the product meets I-Code requirements,” Nosse said. “Building departments have a long history of using evaluation reports, and ICC-ES operates as a technical resource for the building department. Final approval of building products is always in the hands of the local
regulatory agency.” ICC-ES thoroughly examined Gallina product information, test reports, calculations, quality control methods and other factors to ensure the product is code compliant. Amit Israeli, CEO Gallina, has this to say regarding the ICC approval: “I am very pleased with our approval with the
ICC. We try to promote the building code department requirements. We hope that other manufacturers see the value of having an ICC approved product.”
ICC-ES is the United States’ leading source of technical information on building products and building technology for code compliance. A nonprofit, public-benefit corporation, ICC-ES performs technical evaluations of building products, components, methods and materials. The evaluation process culminates with the issuance of reports on compliance with the major U.S. building codes, which are available at www.icc-es.org. ICC-ES is a subsidiary of the International Code Council, a membership association dedicated to building safety and fire prevention that develops the codes used to construct residential and commercial buildings, including homes and schools. Most U.S. cities, counties and states that adopt codes choose the International Codes developed by the International Code Council.
