Thermal Insulation Materials


The NVLAP program for Thermal Insulation Materials (TIM) provides for laboratory accreditation to assure that standard test procedures to measure corrosiveness; thermal resistance; strength; flammability; mass, density, and dimensional stability; and water vapor retarder characteristics are followed.

The TIM program uses standard test methods from the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM), Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), Technical Association of the Pulp and Paper Industry (TAPPI), and the Canadian General Standards Board (CGSB).

The test methods for which a laboratory may seek accreditation are listed in NIST Handbook 150-15.


Listed below are all laboratories accredited within this program as of January 8, 2009. For additional information, contact NVLAP at (301) 975-4016.
