ICC-ES / UL Dual PMG Listing Program
ICC Evaluation Service, Inc. (ICC-ES), and Underwriters Laboratories Inc. (UL) now offer a dual PMG listing program for plumbing, mechanical, and fuel gas (PMG) products. This program, combining the resources of two highly respected technical organizations, is designed to provide product manufacturers, code officials and construction professionals with a one-stop shop, and streamlined service, to verify that PMG products comply with applicable codes and standards.
The ICC-ES / UL dual PMG listing program benefits product manufacturers by allowing them to:
- Utilize the unmatched resources of two outstanding organizations for the testing, inspection, certification, and listing of PMG products.
- Obtain listings under both the International Plumbing Code (IPC) and the Uniform Plumbing Code (UPC).
- Gain acceptance of products internationally, wherever the IPC, the UPC, or Canadian codes have been adopted. The dual listing covers both the IPC and UPC, any referenced standards in these codes, and any applicable prescriptive requirements in the codes. Products intended for distribution in Canada will be evaluated in accordance with the National Plumbing Code of Canada.
- Show compliance with the new low-lead requirements of the California Health and Safety Code.
- Show compliance with the Environmental Protection Agency's WaterSenseSM requirements.
- Utilize a single point of contact for both ICC-ES and UL listings.
- Get broad exposure for PMG products, through the network of ICC-ES and UL customers, stakeholders, and partnerships.
- Tap into the power of both the UL Plumbing Mark and the ICC-ES PMG Mark.
The ICC-ES/ UL dual PMG listing program also benefits code officials, by allowing them to:
- Gain assurance that PMG products meet the rigorous testing requirements of both ICC-ES and UL, and ICC-ES's evaluation of the product as code complying.
- Find listed products on the web sites of both ICC-ES and UL.
- Access UL's "code correlation database," the only such database in existence.
