Notice of Product Certification

One of the changes instituted by ICC 500-2014 is the requirement for an independent quality agency certification of compliance with all requirements. This is spelled out in FEMA 361-2015. We use the National Accreditation and Management Institute, Inc. They also visit factories regularly to validate compliance, inspect extrusion material, and inspect our quality plan and quality logs.
