Building Products Quality Audit Services

Manufacturers and products who are listed and hold an ICC–ES report may be required to have an independent quality assurance inspection (QAI) by an accredited agency like NTA. ICC NTA offers initial and follow-up inspection services per ICC–ES AC10 (Acceptance Criteria for Quality Documentation). Also, ICC NTA is recognized by the following entities as being a leader in independent product quality audits:

  • Accredited under ISO/IEC 17020 to provide inspection services — see our Certificate of Accreditation
  • California Built Housing Design Approval Agency (DAA)
  • California Factory Built Housing Quality Assurance Agency (QAA) and Inspectors (QAI)
  • State of Florida Assurance Agency (QUA3504)
  • Inspections for ICC−ES Evaluation Reports
  • Inspections for City of Houston Approved Fabricator Program

Quality Manual/Documentation Authoring and Assistance

Certification, both evaluation and listing reports, require ongoing compliance and verification with codes and standards. To complete this, report holders must have a documented quality system meeting the specific requirements of the report. Requirements like ICC-ES AC10, acceptance criteria for quality documentation would be one of the common requirements for each report holder’s documentation.

To ensure that report holders meet these requirements, ICC NTA has staff, separate from the inspection and evaluation process, to help draft and revise quality documentation.
