ANSWER

Yes, independent certified laboratories have performed extensive testing. Ongoing quality reviews and testing is conducted by a third party independent inspection service (RADCO) and (OMEGA POINT LABS). The INSULAR panel (also known as RADVA panel and Thermastructure/Wallframe panel) is currently listed with the new ICC-Evaluation Service. All current ICC-ES evaluation reports are "legacy reports," originally issued by one of the legacy evaluation services that came together on February 1, 2003, to form ICC-ES. Legacy evaluation reports may be accessed at the present time through the web sites of the legacy evaluation services that are still being maintained. Below is the list of evaluation reports originally issued by:
ICC-ES (International Code Council Evaluation Services)
ICBO - (International Conference of Building Officials) under the Uniform Building Code - ICBO # PFC 4216
BOCA- (Building Offices and Code Administration) under the National Building Code - Research Report #9140
SBCCI – (Southern Building Code Congress International, Inc.) – SBCCI # 2143

INSULAR also maintains listings with the following:


  • HUD - (Department of Housing and Urban Development) Bulletin No. 1072
