Certifications and Regulatory Compliance

All Styropek products are third party certified to ensure the highest quality and performance for a specific product application. Third party certification also ensures that foamed products made with Styropek EPS beads will meet the performance criteria established by international organizations, companies and governments.

The three main third party certification companies that we have chosen to partner with in certifying our products are Underwriters Laboratories UL, International Code Council Evaluation Service ICC-ES and Factory Mutual FM.
