EPIC Earns Full Scope Class 1 Accreditation

EP Inspections & Commissioning hit a major milestone as the firm has officially expanded its Class 1 Accreditation from the International Accreditation Service (IAS) to cover all Special Inspections offered in New York City.

This achievement builds on EPIC’s initial Class 1 accreditation, obtained in May 2021 for a limited number of inspection types. Since then, the team has worked diligently through the rigorous annual renewal process and added 34 additional inspection categories—broadening their capabilities to include inspections for projects of any class and size, from small renovations to large-scale high-rise developments.

With this expansion, EPIC is now authorized to conduct critical inspections such as support of excavation, structural foundations, deep foundations, seismic resistance, and all types of mass timber construction, in addition to their existing specialties like mechanical systems, sprinkler and standpipe systems, and emergency power systems.

As a fully accredited Class 1 firm, EPIC continues to set the standard in the industry—known for their engineer-led approach, clear communication, and commitment to quality. This expanded scope reinforces EPIC’s role as a trusted partner on complex construction projects across New York City.
