Value
Working with the Vinyl Siding Institute, Architectural Testing developed the Vinyl Siding Product Certification Program as a comprehensive, rigorous resource to help independently verify the quality of vinyl siding products.
Architectural Testing is recognized as a dependable, third-party agency accredited to inspect vinyl siding and certify that the products meet or exceed ASTM D3679, the long-standing, accepted industry standard for quality vinyl siding. Our highly trained testing engineers have developed an array of sophisticated tests designed to subject vinyl siding to the performance stresses specified by ASTM D3679.
Manufacturers and end-users all benefit from this certification:
- Manufacturers can assure end-users that their products have met or exceed rigorous testing procedures and have been proven to provide the quality, durability, and longevity they promise.
- End-users are comfortable and confident when specifying or purchasing product
because the VSI certification mark assures them that the product meets industry standards.
Vinyl siding certified through this program may also include colors that have been certified to meet or exceed the color retention requirements of ASTM D6864. In addition to meeting the performance characteristics for weatherability, windload, and impact resistance covered under ASTM D3679, these products will resist major color changes in a variety of climates based on two-year outdoor weathering studies.
Certification Mark
Products certified under the VSI Vinyl Siding Certification Program, independently administered by Architectural Testing, receive the program’s Certification Mark; only products that have been proven to meet or exceed ASTM D3679 are awarded this mark.
