BUILDING PRODUCTS EVALUATION SERVICES
UES is a Pathway to Code AcceptanceIAPMO UES is recognized for technical excellence in providing evaluation reports, based on qualified supporting data documenting that building related products either satisfy the codes or are the equivalent of that prescribed in the codes.
The evaluation report is crucial in providing designers and specifiers the technical information and assurance that your products meet the standards.
The purpose for Uniform Evaluation Reports (ER) is to document compliance with particular code(s) and their referenced standard(s). This is done on a manufacturer-by-manufacturer basis. A UER documents compliance of a manufacturer’s product, material or component to the referenced code. This recommendation for code approval is contingent on the scope of evaluation and the conditions of use included in the report.
WHAT YOU GET FROM UES
