The system not only enhances strength and durability, but also significantly reduces water usage, supporting the region\u2019s broader environmental and sustainability goals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Mohamed Amer, Managing Director of ICC MENA<\/strong>, stated: &#8220;<em>We are proud to support the advancement of sustainable and resilient construction practices through the issuance of this ESR. By validating innovative systems such as SmartCare CureAssure against rigorous code requirements, ICC-ES is helping pave the way for a safer, more efficient, and environmentally responsible construction future &#8211; one that aligns with the GCC\u2019s long-term development goals.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This milestone sets a strong foundation for the future adoption of sustainable and innovative building systems across the region. By demonstrating a clear, credible pathway for emerging technologies to meet rigorous code compliance through third-party technical validation, ICC-ES helps unlock new opportunities for greener construction methods. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Such initiatives empower manufacturers, developers, and regulators alike to embrace out of the box solutions that enhance building resilience, environmental performance, and resource efficiency, ultimately contributing to a more sustainable built environment in the GCC and beyond.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Commenting on this success, <strong>Joseph Eapen, CEO of Asian Paints International Private Ltd<\/strong>, stated: <em>&#8220;This achievement reflects our commitment to delivering high-performance, sustainable solutions for the construction sector. Having ICC-ES independently verify the performance of our system for compliance with the DBC reinforces our dedication to innovation and environmental stewardship.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This milestone highlights ICC-ES\u2019s continued support in evaluating innovative systems that meet the evolving demands of building safety, sustainability, and performance in the MENA region and beyond. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>ESRs provide technical validation for innovative materials and systems while unlocking market access for global manufacturers. Through ICC-ES, we\u2019ve supported companies in navigating this process efficiently, reducing risk while staying aligned with local code requirements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The first internal curing admixture to receive Dubai Municipality (DM) approval for use &#8211; based on the ICC-ES Acceptance Criteria and in alignment with regulatory guidance by Dubai Municipality The International Code Council Evaluation Service (ICC-ES) has issued Evaluation Service Report ESR-5402 for SmartCare CureAssure, a next-generation internal curing admixture developed by Asian Paints.
