CRRC Wall Product Label Guidance

The CRRC Wall Product Label is intended to convey a product rating for a CRRC rated wall product that is sold for final installation or application. The CRRC Wall Product Label may only be used on products or product packaging by CRRC Licensees. Use of the CRRC Wall Product Label on products, product packaging, product literature, and product specification sheets for wall products that are not CRRC rated is strictly prohibited.

The below information shall not be construed as superseding the requirements in the CRRC Wall Rating Program Licensee Agreement and CRRC-2 Wall Product Rating Program Manual, Chapter 5.

Please contact the CRRC at [email protected] or 866-465-2523 for further guidance on the appropriate use of the CRRC Wall Product Label.

The CRRC Wall Product Label, shown in Figure A below, consists of a rectangle with the CRRC Wall Program Logo, CRRC Wall Rated Product ID number, initial and aged solar reflectance and thermal emittance values, and a legal disclaimer. The CRRC Wall Product Label may only be used on products that have been rated in accordance with the requirements outlined in the CRRC-2 Wall Product Rating Program Manual and that are actively listed on the CRRC Rated Wall Products Directory.

CRRC Wall Licensees may use the CRRC Wall Product Label on the following:

• Directly on a CRRC rated wall product

• On the packaging, wrapping or container of a CRRC rated wall product

• On the bill of lading or other documentation that accompanies the delivery of a CRRC rated wall product

• On product marketing materials, company website, and product specification sheets

Do I have to use the CRRC Product Label on my CRRC rated product?

Not at this time. Currently, there are no codes or programs that require the use of the CRRC Wall Product Label on product packaging. However, use of the label can aid in demonstrating compliance with various codes and programs. You are not required to use the CRRC Wall Product Label; your product listing will remain on the CRRC Rated Wall Products Directory as long as it meets the requirements of the CRRC-2 Wall Product Rating Program Manual.

Can I use the CRRC Wall Product Label on general company promotional materials, including the company website?

Yes. When using the CRRC Wall Product Label in marketing brochures, product catalogs, specification sheets, and on the company website, the CRRC Wall Product Label must be placed adjacent to the image or text for that specific CRRC rated wall product. The CRRC Wall Product Label may only be used to indicate a product rating for the CRRC rated wall product specified on the CRRC Wall Product Label. The minimum dimensions of the CRRC Wall Product Label must comply with section 3 below.

Can I group the CRRC Wall Product Label with other organizations’ certification marks?

Enlarging the CRRC Wall Product Label is permitted as long as the same proportions are maintained; the CRRC Wall Product Label cannot be reduced in size, as stated in the CRRC Wall Rating Program Licensee Agreement and the CRRC-2 Wall Product Rating Program Manual (see Section 5.3). The dimensions and minimum size of the CRRC Wall Product Label have been designed so that the solar reflectance and thermal emittance values are clearly visible and legible.

Can I change the colors in the CRRC Wall Product Label?

No. The CRRC Wall Product Label is available in color and grayscale, and the CRRC provides versions of both. Either version of the label may be used, but no modifications to design or colors are allowed (see Section 5.3 of the CRRC-2 Wall Product Rating Program Manual).

Can the CRRC Wall Product Label be translated into another language?
