The VSI Product Certification Program is backed by over two decades of experience, with products tested and validated by an independent ISO/IEC 17065 accredited third-party certification body. As the first and only cladding product certified by an industry-sponsored cladding program, certified products are rigorously tested per program requirements to ensure they deliver the superior protection you need to meet—and exceed—international code standards. Save time, reduce wasted work and deliver peace of mind with VSI Certified Products.
