Listing Agencies Recognized By The RV Industry Association

The RV Industry Association’s Standards program is its greatest member benefit. The Standards Department maintains a professional team of full-time inspectors that promote the enhancement of safety by monitoring adherence to the standards adopted by the Board of Directors for the construction of RVs and Park Model RVs.

Along with providing educational resources and hands-on training, the team conducts more than 2,000 unannounced inspections of member company RV manufacturing plants annually. As a condition of membership, RV Industry Association manufacturers pledge in writing to build RVs that conform to the Association’s adopted standards. Within these adopted standards are various requirements that certain equipment and materials be “listed.”

Member manufacturers must verify with RV Industry Association inspectors that the equipment and materials required to be listed are identified by a third-party listing agency that is recognized by the association.

“Listed” is defined as equipment, material, or services included in a list published by an independent third-party organization that has reviewed the manufacturing process of a product and has independently determined that the final product complies with specific standards for safety, quality or performance. These third-party agencies state that the equipment, materials or services at issue meet appropriate specific standards or have been tested and found suitable for a particular purpose. They also periodically inspect the production of listed equipment or materials, and/or periodically re-evaluate the listed items.

Every three years the RV Industry Association audits our listing agencies, verifying they carry correct ISO certifications and meet requirements for approval. The current list of approved third party listing agencies was audited in August 2021.
