Innovative Designs, Inc. (OTCQB: IVDN) announced that BRC Laboratory, the independent facility responsible for testing its R-6 Insultex House Wrap, has received reaccreditation from Perry Johnson Laboratory Accreditation Inc. The accreditation, issued August 19, 2026, and valid through November 30, 2028, confirms that BRC Laboratory operates in accordance with the international standard ISO/IEC:2017. This standard is recognized globally as the benchmark for testing and calibration laboratories, ensuring technical competence and reliable results.
The reaccreditation underscores the validity of Innovative Designs’ R-value claims for its Insultex House Wrap, a product designed to provide superior insulation in residential and commercial construction. Joseph Riccelli, CEO of Innovative Designs, expressed satisfaction with the development, 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.” He added that the accreditation, which is recognized worldwide, enhances the product’s credibility in the building industry, potentially aiding sales and marketing efforts.
The importance of this accreditation extends beyond mere certification. ISO/IEC:2017 requires laboratories to implement robust quality management systems, emphasizing risk-based thinking and scientific rigor. This ensures that test results are accurate and consistent, which is critical for building products where performance claims must be substantiated. For Innovative Designs, this means its R-6 insulation rating can be trusted by architects, builders, and consumers, potentially increasing adoption in energy-efficient construction projects.
Industry partners have also voiced optimism. Cassidy Brummel, CEO of Built Link Solutions, a distributor of the product, 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.” This sentiment was echoed by Randy Kimbler, Director of Business Development at Built Link Solutions, who noted, “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 accreditation also carries broader implications for the construction industry. As energy efficiency becomes a priority in building codes and green building standards, the demand for reliable insulation products grows. Independent verification of performance claims is crucial to prevent greenwashing and to ensure that products deliver on their promises. BRC Laboratory’s reaccreditation provides that verification, giving stakeholders confidence in the Insultex House Wrap’s thermal performance.
