IMETCO (Innovative Metals Company, Inc.) now has ICC approvals for the Latitude™ and Element™ wall panel systems.

What is the ICC-ES?

ICC-ES is a subsidiary of the International Code Council (ICC), the developer of the International Codes (I-Codes). ICC-ES evaluation reports are aimed particularly at making it easier for those charged with enforcing code — building officials, building departments, building inspectors in the field — to determine the compliance of products with code.

Evaluation reports are also used extensively by architects, engineers, contractors, specifiers, and others in the building industry who have an interest in making sure products and systems meet building-code requirements. It provides dual listing with certification in U.S. and Canada simultaneously.

With ICC reports, government agencies such as California DSA, Florida Building Products, TX TDI, etc. provide quick and easy permit approvals. Please take a moment to review the attached approved ICC-ES Report ESR-4646. Below is a summary of the approval and application(s).

If the substrate is other than what is listed (i.e. CMU/Brick/Plywood) and/or the combination of the wall assembly is different, a detailed calculation must be submitted to validate those conditions per this Report.

The required calculation can be completed and submitted by the project EOR (with our assistance) if needed. Alternatively, IMETCO can provide stamped Calcs (at a nominal fee) within 3 to 5 business days.
