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 new accreditation, effective August 19, 2026, and valid through November 30, 2028, confirms BRC Laboratory's compliance with ISO/IEC 17025:2017, the international standard for testing and calibration laboratories. This development reasserts the credibility of Innovative Designs' R-value claims, a key factor for builders and consumers evaluating insulation products.
ISO/IEC 17025:2017 is the global benchmark that laboratories must meet to demonstrate technical competence and reliable results. The 2017 revision introduced risk-based thinking, requiring labs to proactively address threats to impartiality and operational integrity. By maintaining accreditation, BRC Laboratory assures that its testing procedures meet rigorous quality standards, which in turn supports the performance data for Insultex House Wrap®. The reaccreditation comes at a critical time as Innovative Designs seeks to expand its footprint in the building industry.
Joseph Riccelli, CEO of Innovative Designs, expressed satisfaction with the reaccreditation, emphasizing its role in validating the product's claims. "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 said. Riccelli highlighted that Perry Johnson Laboratory Accreditation is recognized worldwide, enhancing the trustworthiness of test results and aiding in sales and marketing efforts for Insultex House Wrap®.
The announcement also drew positive responses from distribution partners. Cassidy Brummel, CEO of Built Link Solutions, noted that the latest testing achievements would drive sales growth. "With the new testing and future testing to come, our sales will multiply with unknown magnitude," Brummel stated, expressing confidence that manufacturing will meet increased demand. Randy Kimbler, Director of Business Development for Built Link Solutions, echoed this sentiment, praising the product's quality and the rigorous ASTM-certified testing it undergoes. "We are proud to stand behind this product as they continually strive to achieve the highest quality," Kimbler added.
The reaccreditation also underscores the importance of independent verification in the insulation market. Insultex House Wrap® is designed to provide an R-6 thermal resistance, a claim that must withstand scrutiny from builders, code officials, and consumers. With BRC Laboratory's renewed accreditation, Innovative Designs can more confidently present its performance data to the building industry. The company's patented INSULTEX® technology is marketed as the thinnest, lightest, and warmest insulator available, and this validation could enhance its competitive position.
BRC Laboratory's certificate (L26-760) is publicly available on the Perry Johnson Laboratory Accreditation website at https://www.pjlabs.com/search-accredited-organizations, allowing stakeholders to verify the accreditation details. This transparency further reinforces the credibility of the testing process.
As the building industry increasingly prioritizes energy efficiency and performance, having independently verified R-values is essential. Innovative Designs' commitment to maintaining accredited testing facilities demonstrates its dedication to quality and its willingness to subject its products to rigorous evaluation. With the reaccreditation in place, the company and its partners are poised to capitalize on growing market opportunities.
