Evolution of the CRRC

CR rebate programs fared poorly

Inferior & inappropriate products used

1980’s 1998 2003 2005 2013

CRRC established

3rd party rating system needed

First products rated First T24 requirements effective, 500 products rated 2,000+ products rated

Program Credibility

  • Random Testing
  • ANSI Accredited
  • Testing by independent labs
  • Aging at independent test farms
  • Strict Chain of Custody

– between lab & weathering farm

Testing Laboratories

CRRC product ratings are conducted by Accredited Independent Testing Laboratories

  • ISO/IEC 17025 Certified
  • Lab Training Required
  • Independent from a supplier or roofing product company
  • Annual Round Robin Quality Assurance Testing

CRRC Test Methods

Solar Reflectance

  • Reflectometer (ASTM C1549)
  • CRRC-1 Test Method 1
  • Spectrometer (ASTM E903)
  • Pyranometer (ASTM E1918)

CRRC Test Methods

Thermal Emittance

  • Emissometer

(ASTM C1371)

  • Considering

AZ Technology Temp/Tesa 2000 (ASTM E408)

Weathering Farms

Product aging conducted at Accredited Test Farms

  • ISO 17025 Certified
  • Independent from a supplier or roofing product company
  • Products aged for 3 years
  • 3 climate zones across the US
  • Exposed at steep or low slope angles
