Quality Assurance Safety

GreenFiber has a comprehensive testing program to ensure that GreenFiber product meets the highest quality and safety standards in the industry. These standards are based on the current ASTM C739 Standard for Cellulosic Fiber Loose-Fill Thermal Insulation, and the amended CPSC Standard, 16 CFR Part 1209. These specifications cover the composition and physical requirements of chemically treated, cellulosic fiber, loose-fill thermal insulation for use in attics or enclosed spaces in housing, and other framed buildings with the ambient temperature range from 45.6 to 90.0C (-50 to 194F) by pneumatic application.

There are no health concerns associated with GreenFiber product. According to our Material Safety Data Sheets, approved particulate masks should be provided and worn to protect from nuisance dust. For environments with excessive dust, safety goggles are recommended.

A third party periodically calibrates all GreenFiber plant's process scales. Quality process control testing is conducted every two hours during production by the QC Technician to assure all standards are met and the product meets the specifications set forth in the standard. The QC Technician randomly samples a recently produced insulation bag either taken from the line, a unit in the warehouse, or off a trailer. The sample is taken from the product that has been manufactured no more than one hour prior to sampling. Daily logs are maintained and reviewed by the plant manager.

Our independent testing laboratory is R&D Services, Cookeville, TN (931) 372-8871. They are NVLAP accredited. NVLAP is the National Voluntary Laboratory Accreditation Program. NVLAP provides third-party accreditation to testing and calibration laboratories. NVLAP's accreditation programs are established in response to Congressional mandates or administrative actions by the Federal Government or from requests by private-sector organizations. NVLAP is in full conformance with the standards of the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC), including ISO/IEC 17025 and ISO/IEC 17011.

GreenFiber's product warranty is a limited warranty for the life of the structure.
