A QAI Code Evaluation Report (CER) is a published report demonstrating that your building product complies with applicable sections of the building code for specific applications. It outlines the uses and limitations of a building product and is often used to show building officials and customers that complex or innovative building products meet specific code requirements. To apply for a QAI CER please click here and email your application to info@qai.org.
A Code Evaluation Report describes the applications in which the building product is considered code compliant.
QAI is an accredited one-stop-shop for Testing, Inspection, and Certification Services, which allows us to complete the majority of the process and tests in-house.
A building official, architect or engineer can read a CER and understand the applications in which a building product is approved for use.
A CER is commonly used to demonstrate compliance of products that do not have a clear set of compliance criteria outlined in the code.
In general, anything to do with the exterior envelope of the building is within QAI’s wheelhouse. A few examples include:
Insulating Concrete Forms
Roof Coverings
Building Wraps and Underlays
Exterior Cladding

As an accredited testing, inspection and certification body following the relevant ISO quality requirements, we have the ability to perform services quickly and efficiently in house!
At HercuTech, we are extremely confident using QAI for all our product compliance needs. We began working with QAI in 2016 as our product testing laboratory, but soon realized they had a lot more to offer. QAI is now our Listing agency, Quality Assurance Entity and Testing Laboratory. Having QAI provide all three of these functions has saved us valuable time and money. QAI’s team of Engineers and experts have a thorough understanding of code requirements and are incredibly efficient in developing Code Evaluation Reports. We receive tailored solutions, lightning-fast Code Evaluation Report revisions and exceptional customer service, all at a very competitive price. QAI has even supported us in meetings with customers, Code Officials and Engineers in cases where we required expedited product and QAI Mark acceptance. Having worked with several product evaluation agencies throughout the years, there is no comparison to the high level of service we receive with QAI.
QAI has a unique approach, providing one-point of contact from start to finish, during the certification process. Logix benefited from QAI’s team of experts and <24 hours response time, making the product approval process seamless for us. We can say that transferring our Code Evaluation Report to QAI was the right decision for our certification needs.
It was a pleasure working with the QAI Rancho Cucamonga team on our new CERus. The QAI Code Evaluation process helped to simplify several of our product’s other reports into a single, very useful document.
