Carlisle Architectural Metals’ Petersen brand obtained ICC-ES Evaluation Report ESR-5839 for multiple metal wall panel systems to provide independent code compliance documentation for architects, contractors and fabricators.
ICC-ES Evaluation Report ESR-5839 covers specific Petersen metal wall panel series, giving independent technical validation to meet IBC and IRC code references.
Architects and designers can use the report to create clearer, code-referenced specifications and define evaluated applications and system limits.
Contractors and fabricators can streamline permitting, submittals, and inspections by citing the ESR-backed installation and compliance details.
Petersen, part of Carlisle Architectural Metals (CAM), has secured an ICC-ES Evaluation Report — ESR-5839 — for a set of its metal wall panel systems. The report is an independent technical review that shows how those systems comply with applicable International Building Code (IBC) and International Residential Code (IRC) requirements.
ESR-5839 lists the specific panel products evaluated. They include the Box Rib Series 1–4, Highline Series B1, B2, C1, C2, M1, S1 and S2, HWP, Flush Panel and 7.2 Panel. Each product in the report is described with evaluated applications, conditions, and limitations tied to code requirements.
Why an ICC-ES report matters to project teams
The core value of an ICC-ES evaluation is independent verification. For architects and designers, that verification lets them reference a single, code-focused document when writing specifications. Instead of piecing together manufacturer data, reviewers can point to an evaluation that defines allowable uses and installation constraints.
For contractors and fabricators, the report becomes a practical tool during permitting and submittal. It provides reviewers and inspectors with a concise source of compliance information and installation guidance specific to the evaluated systems. That reduces uncertainty and the back-and-forth that often holds up approvals.
What the report brings to the project workflow
ESR-5839 consolidates approved applications, installation requirements and compliance information. This helps in three concrete ways:
Petersen framed the issuance of the ESR as an investment in customer success, noting that the evaluation gives architects trusted technical documentation and contractors increased confidence during specification, permitting and installation. The company points users to its product pages and Carlisle's website for more product and company information.
ESR-5839 provides independently reviewed compliance documentation for a defined set of Petersen metal wall panels. That documentation reduces ambiguity around allowable applications and installation details, which can shorten permit reviews and minimize inspection uncertainty for projects that use the evaluated systems.
As architectural projects grow more complex and requirements evolve, the ability to iterate quickly is increasingly important to the design process. For Bellway, one of the UK's largest homebuilders, faster design iteration and visualization have become key to meeting these demands. It is not just a way to present fini
