Innovative Designs, Inc. (OTCQB: IVDN) announced that BRC Laboratory, the independent testing facility responsible for verifying the R-value of its Insultex House Wrap®, has been reaccredited by Perry Johnson Laboratory Accreditation Inc. The accreditation, effective August 19, 2026, and expiring November 30, 2028, confirms BRC Laboratory's compliance with the international standard ISO/IEC 2017. This development is significant for Innovative Designs as it strengthens the validity of the R-6 thermal performance claims for its house wrap product, which is critical for acceptance in the building industry.
ISO/IEC 2017 is the globally recognized benchmark for testing and calibration laboratories, ensuring they demonstrate technical competence and produce reliable results. The standard's latest revision emphasizes risk-based thinking and aligns with other quality management frameworks, such as ISO 9001. BRC Laboratory, located in North Kingston, Rhode Island, has now been formally recognized under this stringent standard, providing third-party validation of the testing methods used to substantiate Insultex House Wrap's insulating properties.
Joseph Riccelli, CEO of Innovative Designs, expressed satisfaction with the reaccreditation, stating, "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." This sentiment underscores the potential commercial impact, as building professionals often require verified performance data before specifying products in construction projects.
The announcement was also welcomed by distribution partners. Cassidy Brummel, CEO of Built Link Solutions, remarked, "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." Randy Kimbler, Director of Business Development for Built Link Solutions, added, "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 reaccreditation of BRC Laboratory is particularly relevant in a market where energy efficiency and building codes drive demand for high-performance materials. Insultex House Wrap is marketed as a thin, lightweight, and effective insulator, and independent verification of its R-value is essential for architects, builders, and homeowners seeking to meet energy standards. The ISO/IEC 2017 accreditation also ensures that BRC Laboratory's testing procedures are consistently reliable, which is crucial for future product claims and regulatory compliance.
For stakeholders, this news reinforces the product's credibility and could facilitate wider adoption in the construction sector. The certification details, including BRC Laboratory's certificate (L26-760), can be viewed on the Perry Johnson Laboratory Accreditation website at PJLA's search page. Innovative Designs also provides information on its products at Insultex House Wrap and i.d.i.gear.
This development matters because it removes a potential barrier to market acceptance: the need for credible, independent verification of performance claims. As the building industry becomes more data-driven and accountable, such accreditations can be a decisive factor in product selection. The reaccreditation not only reassures current customers but also positions Innovative Designs to expand its market share, particularly as energy efficiency regulations tighten worldwide.
