IAPMO ES offers manufacturers and building officials another, we believe better, option as an evaluator of building products.

Since 1926, IAPMO has been a leader in codes and standards development. As a company within The IAPMO Group, IAPMO ES is built upon an 83-year-old foundation of experience, expertise and quality.

IAPMO ES is accredited by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) per the ISO/IEC Guide 65, General Requirements for Bodies Operating Product Certification Systems. This means that building products, materials and designs bearing the IAPMO ES mark of conformity are trusted for their conformity and workmanship by contractors, inspectors, architects, engineers, officials and Authorities Having Jurisdiction.

Evaluation Reports generated by IAPMO ES represent the highest degree of integrity in showing compliance with the International Building Code (IBC) and International Residential Code (IRC).

Don’t just take our word for it, though — listen to what our customers have said about IAPMO ES:

"On behalf of ERICO we are very pleased with this report.  It has been a pleasure to work with IAPMO-ES and VCA code group.  We appreciate all your help through this process.  We look forward to continue building our relationship with IAPMO-ES and your affiliates."

“We encountered initial confusion about the evaluation process applicable to our innovative fastener for compliance with the IBC and IRC. … IAPMO Evaluation Services creatively addressed these challenges and avoided getting bogged down by unnecessary bureaucracy.

“Our IAPMO ES contact, Jon Vann, was accessible and sensitive to our concerns, allowing us to move forward in a time appropriate manner. Your professionals completed the plant inspection of our ISO certified manufacturer with minimal interruptions and your pricing was fair, with no add-on surprises.”

“We thoroughly enjoyed working with IAPMO ES. The turnaround time was unprecedented. They were really attentive to our schedule and worked diligently with us in that regard. We will certainly consider using IAPMO ES for our future reports.”

“The real value of an IAPMO ES evaluation report is in the fact that we have been able to sell our products in a continuously growing list of municipalities while the competition is jumping through the hoops. We are the only holder of an evaluation report based on the current code. Our competition is waiting and we are selling.”
