Proferred DrillerzR, manufactured by Porteous Fastener Company, recently received an evaluation report (ESR-3231) from ICC Evaluation Service (ICC-ES), providing evidence that Proferred DrillerzR self Drilling Screws meet code requirements. Building officals, architects, contractors, specifiers, designers and others utilize ICC-ES Evaluation Reports to provide a basis for using or approving self drilling screws in construction projects under the International Building Code (IBC) and International Residence Code (IRC.)
ICC-ES President Mark Johnson explains why ICC-ES Evaluation Reports are so important. "Porteous Fastener Company can now reference the evaluation report to ensure building officials and the building industry that the product meets I-Code requirements," Johnson said. "Building departments have a long history of using evaluation reports, and ICC-ES operates as a technical resource for the building department. Final approval of building products is always in the hands of the local regulatory agency." ICC-ES thoroughly examined (PFC's) product information, test reports, calculations, quality control methods and other factors to ensure the product is code-compliant.
