QuadFoam 500 NatureSeal Gets ESR-0285
ONTARIO, CA - May 7, 2014 – IAPMO's Uniform Evaluation Service (UES) is pleased to announce that Texas-- based Quadrant Urethane Technologies was granted UES Evaluation Report ER--285 to reference the 2012, 2009 and 2006 editions of the International Building Code® (IBC), the International Residential Code® (IRC) and the International Energy Conservation Code® (IECC). ER--285 states that the Quadrant Urethane Technologies products as shown in the report satisfy applicable code requirements. This allows for the specification of QuadFoam® NatureSeal 500 by architects, contractors, specifiers, and designers, and approval of installations by code officials. It also provides code officials with a concise summary of the products' attributes and documentation of code compliance.
Products recognized with an IAPMO UES Evaluation Report have successfully undergone evaluation based on applicable requirements within the Uniform Family of Codes and the International Family of Codes, as well as codes published by other entities. UES staff thoroughly examined Quadrant Urethane Technologies product information, test reports, calculations, quality control methods, and other factors to determine the products are code-compliant.
"Quadrant Urethane Technologies is extremely pleased with ER-285 on our QuadFoam® NatureSeal 500 insulation," said Navin Pydugadu, Business Development manager. "UES has an in house staff of experts and engages contractors who have demonstrated expertise in various fields. This combination continues to provide us with unsurpassed quality, speed to market and recognition. We highly recommend UES."
The UES program is built upon IAPMO's more than 70 years of experience in evaluating products for code compliance. Accredited by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI), the program operates under ISO/IEC Guide 65, "General Requirements for Bodies Operating Product Certification Systems."
UES Director Richard Beck, PE, CBO, MCP, explains why Uniform Evaluation Reports are so valuable: "Quadrant Urethane Technologies can now reference its ER--285 for their QuadFoam® NatureSeal 500 to ensure that code officials quickly have the information required for their decision on approval. Our program also stands out because of stellar customer service and the utilization of in--house staff along with the technical expertise of professional engineering firms, who are leaders in each area of recognition."
IAPMO's UES offers a full range of recognition opportunities, including recognition for the applicable national model codes, as well as Florida, California, and various other state codes. The UES program lowers the cost and increases the value to code officials of these reports by combining all of these recognitions in one concise report prepared by an internationally recognized product certification body.
