CCMC Product Evaluations
The Registry of Product Evaluations contains all Evaluation Reports and Listings on products evaluated by the CCMC (over 500 products). Indexed to the MasterFormat system used throughout North America, it is an invaluable tool for building professionals at every stage of design and construction to check plans, the acceptability of specified products, and their installation as users of the online Registry can quickly access technical and standards-related data on hundreds of evaluated materials, products and construction systems. In addition, Evaluation Reports are accompanied by illustrations.
In partnership with CCMC, FNNBOA is pleased to provide a sampling of some of the available product evaluations.
For access to the complete list of all evaluations, register (free) at the CCMC website.
