Steps
Identify the exact product name/line proposed and locate its current ICC-ES Evaluation Report (ESR) via the ICC-ES Evaluation Report Directory at icc-es.org.
Confirm the report is current (not expired or withdrawn) and lists the applicable code editions (IBC/IRC) it covers.
Confirm the report's stated conditions of use — fire classification, wind uplift rating, slope range, and required underlayment/fastening — match the actual project conditions.
Cross-check any local jurisdiction amendments or additional testing requirements (e.g., impact resistance) that the ESR may not address.
Retain a copy of the current ESR in the project's permit/code-compliance file for inspection.
Known gotchas
Don't cite a specific ESR number from memory or a third-party blog — ESR numbers and their content are reissued/updated periodically; pull the current document directly from icc-es.org for the exact product before relying on it.
An ICC-ES report for one product line or thickness does not automatically extend to a similarly named variant; confirm the report covers the specific SKU being installed.
