Innovative Designs, Inc. (OTCQB: IVDN) has announced that BRC Laboratory, the independent testing facility responsible for verifying the R-6 rating of its Insultex House Wrap®, has received reaccreditation from Perry Johnson Laboratory Accreditation Inc. The accreditation, issued on August 19, 2026, and valid through November 30, 2028, confirms that BRC Laboratory meets the rigorous requirements of ISO/IEC:2017, the international standard for testing and calibration laboratories.
This reaccreditation underscores the credibility of Innovative Designs' claims about its patented INSULTEX® technology, which is used in the company's Insultex House Wrap and Arctic Armor® line. "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," said Joseph Riccelli, CEO of Innovative Designs. "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 importance of this accreditation cannot be overstated for the building industry. ISO/IEC:2017 is the primary international benchmark for laboratories to prove their technical competence and ability to generate reliable results. The standard, updated in 2017, incorporates risk-based thinking and aligns with quality management frameworks like ISO 9001, ensuring that accredited labs produce data that is both accurate and consistent. For architects, builders, and homeowners, this means the R-6 thermal performance claims for Insultex House Wrap are backed by a facility that has been independently verified to meet global standards.
Industry partners have responded with enthusiasm. Cassidy Brummel, CEO of Built Link Solutions, noted, "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. Through many conversations with IDI, we are also confident that manufacturing will meet the increased demand of the product for future sales growth. We could not be happier to be working with such an incredible team."
