Steps
Search the ICC-ES Reports Directory at https://icc-es.org/reports-directory/, organized by CSI MasterFormat division, to find the manufacturer's current ESR
Confirm the report was evaluated under AC358 (ICC-ES acceptance criteria for helical pile systems and devices) for helical pier products specifically
Pull the ESR PDF directly if the report number is already known, using the pattern https://icc-es.org/wp-content/uploads/report-directory/ESR-XXXX.pdf
Check the ESR's effective/expiration date and referenced code editions (e.g., which IBC/IRC cycle) to confirm it's current for the jurisdiction's adopted code
Verify the specific product model, shaft size, and helix configuration installed matches what's covered in the ESR's stated scope — reports are product- and configuration-specific
Known gotchas
ESRs expire and are periodically reissued with a new number or revision — an old cached PDF link can point to a superseded report; always re-check the reports directory rather than trusting a bookmarked URL
ICC-ES has no public bulk/search API — the reports directory is a browsable/searchable web catalog only, so plan on manual or scraped lookups, not programmatic queries
