RIMA International Verification Program

This program has been established to identify reflective products which have fulfilled test requirements in accordance with the current applicable ASTM code standards for North America.

Products are verified in one of the following five categories: reflective insulation, radiant barrier:vapor transmitting (perm<5)/vapor retarder (perm<1), interior radiation control coating (IRCC), facer materials or radiant barrier sheathing products. A third-party independent testing and inspection laboratory will determine whether a product’s physical properties comply with the appropriate standards. In order for a company to obtain approval on a category of products, all items within that category must be evaluated and deemed in compliance with current test standards. Technical data sheets, as well as websites containing test information, have been cross-checked for accuracy. (View a list of required tests for each category HERE)

Product verification is renewed annually with all required testing and the full verification procedure repeated every five years. All products will be labeled with a RIMA-I verification logo (as shown in the sample above) with a unique identification number (as shown in column one below) comprised of:  Country Code/Member Number/Product Category, see example.

NOTE: At this time, verification is only available for products sold/purchased in the United States; however, this program will expand to include other countries in the future.
