Listing, Labeling, and Follow-Up Inspection ServicesThrough its Third-Party Quality Assurance Program, the Listing, Labeling, and Follow-Up Inspection Services Section in the Fire Technology Department of the Chemistry and Chemical Engineering Division ensures that products, materials and assemblies meet specified requirements. This process ensures that when these items reach the final consumer, their expected performance is similar to what is found through laboratory evaluations and testing. Continued compliance is assured through unannounced factory inspections and periodic re-testing. Qualified products, materials and assemblies are published in the SwRI Directory of Listed Products. The Third-Party Quality Assurance Program (also known as Listing and Labeling program), administered by SwRI is accredited by the International Accreditation Service, Inc. (IAS) (which resulted with the consolidation of former ICBO-ES, SBCCI-PST&ES, BOCA-ES and NES), OSHA, the U.S. Coast Guard, GSA, HUD, the State of Florida, Metro-Date County, the city of Los Angeles, the city of New York, and more. The program covers materials and products for the construction and maritime industries, fuel storage tanks and fire extinguishing systems. Listing and labeling programs are coordinated with the Material Flammability Section, Fire Resistance Section, and Engineering and Research Section.
