Evaluation Guideline Development

Evaluation guidelines are developed by the ICC-ES technical staff in consultation with input from interested parties. New guidelines and revisions to existing guidelines is done through an alternate process that involves the solicitation of public comment through this web site that is described below.

Evaluation Guideline Process

The evaluation guideline process provides a means to periodically update existing evaluation guidelines and to seek comment from interested parties on new guidelines that may be developed.

The evaluation guideline process works this way:

1. As existing guidelines are revised and/or new guidelines are developed, drafts are posted to the ICC-ES website, where they are available for viewing and comment for 30 days.
2. Through email, ICC-ES notifies report holders, and anyone else who has requested notification, that guidelines have been posted and are available for public comment.
3. At the end of the 30-day posting, public comments are reviewed by the ICC-ES staff.
4. After the review process, drafts may be revised before the document is finalized and posted to the ICC-ES SAVE web site.
