Innovative Designs, Inc. (OTCQB: IVDN) has received documentation confirming that BRC Laboratory, the independent facility responsible for testing the company's R-6 Insultex House Wrap®, has been reaccredited by Perry Johnson Laboratory Accreditation Inc. The accreditation, with an issue date of August 19, 2026, and expiration date of November 30, 2028, certifies that BRC Laboratory meets the requirements of the international standard ISO/IEC:2017. This standard is recognized globally as the benchmark for testing and calibration laboratories, ensuring technical competence and the ability to produce reliable results.
Joseph Riccelli, CEO of Innovative Designs, expressed satisfaction with the reaccreditation, stating, "We are pleased that BRC Laboratory has received reaccreditation. This continues to give credibility to our claims and peace of mind to users of the product. Perry Johnson Laboratory Accreditation, Inc. is used around the world to accredit laboratories and gives BRC Laboratory, Inc. test results the credibility consumers want. This should help with the sales and marketing of Insultex House Wrap® to the building industry."
The announcement has also been well-received by key partners. Cassidy Brummel, CEO of Built Link Solutions, commented, "We are extremely pleased with the latest testing achievements that IDI has surpassed with Insultex House Wrap. With the new testing and future testing to come, our sales will multiply with unknown magnitude." Randy Kimbler, Director of Business Development for Built Link Solutions, echoed this sentiment, emphasizing confidence in the product's quality: "We are proud to stand behind this product as they continually strive to achieve the highest quality by putting it through the highest quality of ASTM certified laboratory testing."
The ISO/IEC:2017 standard, which BRC Laboratory now adheres to, was updated in 2017 to include risk-based thinking and adaptations to modern IT developments. It requires laboratories to proactively identify threats to their impartiality and operational integrity, ensuring that test results are reliable and consistent. This reaccreditation signifies that BRC Laboratory's testing methods meet rigorous international criteria, which is crucial for validating the performance claims of products like Insultex House Wrap.
Insultex House Wrap is a patented insulation material marketed as the thinnest, lightest, and warmest insulator available. Its R-6 rating is a key selling point, and independent validation of this claim is essential for gaining trust among builders and consumers. The reaccreditation of the testing lab provides third-party confirmation that the product's thermal performance is accurately measured, which can influence purchasing decisions and regulatory approvals.
This development is particularly significant for the building industry, where energy efficiency and thermal performance are paramount. Credible R-value claims can lead to increased adoption of the product, potentially impacting energy consumption in buildings. For Innovative Designs, the reaccreditation may facilitate expansion into new markets and strengthen its position against competitors.
The accreditation certificate (L26-760) can be viewed at the Perry Johnson Laboratory Accreditation website: Perry Johnson Laboratory Accreditation. This transparency allows stakeholders to verify the lab's status independently.
As the building industry continues to prioritize energy efficiency, the role of accredited testing laboratories becomes even more critical. This reaccreditation not only bolsters Innovative Designs' claims but also underscores the importance of rigorous testing standards in bringing reliable products to market.
