ICC Evaluation Service 

(formerly National Evaluation Service Inc.)

Mitten has received confirmation by the National Evaluation Service Inc. (NES), now a part of ICC Evaluation Service, that its vinyl siding products comply with the exterior wall covering and wind-resistance provisions of the three U.S. model building codes (BOCA National, ICBO Uniform, and SBCCI Standard), in addition to the new 2000 International Building Code of the International Code Council.  This confirmation, as evidenced in the NES evaluation report [NER-528], provides guidance to code officials faced with approving the use of Mitten vinyl siding under these codes.
