The
local building code official is responsible for approving
construction materials and methods. Evaluating building products
is a time-consuming process requiring vast technical expertise.
Therefore, building departments and designers will usually rely
on evaluation services that evaluate products' conformance with
the building code. The evaluation services evaluate construction
products and provide an evaluation report that can be used by
building regulators, contractors, architects,
engineers, and anyone else with an interest in the building
industry and construction. The evaluation services make these
reports freely available to the public.
USA
In the USA, the evaluation report (NER-420) demonstrates

Code. This evaluation is an ICC Evaluation Service legacy
report. ICC-ES is a nonprofit, public-benefit corporation that
does technical evaluations of building products, components,
methods, and materials. The evaluation process culminates with
the issuance of reports on code compliance, which are made
available on their website,
www.icc-es.org.
Canada
In Canada, the CCMC evaluation (12070-R) demonstrates All Tech Insulation compliance with the National Building Code.
This evaluation has been prepared by the Canadian Construction
Materials Centre (CCMC). CCMC offers a national evaluation
service for all types of innovative construction materials,
products, systems and services. Operating within the National
Research Council's Institute for Research in Construction (IRC),
CCMC ensures that its evaluations are based on the latest
technical research and expertise. The purpose of these
