UltraShield manufactured by NewTechWood, recently received an evaluation report (ESR#3487 ) from ICC Evaluation Service (ICC-ES), providing evidence that the UltraShield US01, UH01 and UH02 Wood-Plastic-Composite Deck Boards meet 2015 and 2012 International Build Code (IBC) and International Residential Code (IRC) code requirements. Building officials, architects, contractors, specifiers, designers and others utilize ICC-ES Evaluation Reports to provide a basis for using or approving UltraShield Wood-Plastic-Composite Deck Boards in construction projects under the IRC & IBC.

ICC-ES President Shahin Moinian explains why ICC-ES Evaluation Reports are so important. “NewTechWood can now reference the evaluation report to ensure building officials and the building industry that the product meets I-Code requirements,” Moinian said. “Building departments have a long history of using evaluation reports, and ICC-ES operates as a technical resource with the highest quality of product review for the building department.  Final approval of building products is always in the hands of the local regulatory agency.”ICC-ES thoroughly examined NewTechWood’s product information, test reports, calculations, quality control methods and other factors to ensure the product is code-compliant. 

A nonprofit, limited liability company, ICC-ES is the United States’ leading evaluation service for innovative building materials, components and systems. ICC-ES Evaluation Reports (ESRs), Building Product Listings and PMG Listings provide evidence that products and systems meet requirements of codes and technical standards. Reports from both listing programs are now accepted in Canada. ICC-ES is a subsidiary of the International Code Council^® (ICC^®). For more information, please visit www.icc-es.org.
