Standards Department Attends Dometic Technical Training Session

The RV Industry Association’s Standards department attended a recent technical training class presented by Dometic Corporation, a supplier member, to enhance their product-specific knowledge. This helps the Standards department provide accurate information to member manufacturers in the field during inspections and discussions.

The Association’s Standards staff were provided with technical overviews of Dometic’s latest products and systems regarding furnaces, refrigerators, air conditioning units, and water heaters. In addition to learning the specifics through technical overviews, staff were also trained in the proper installation and troubleshooting of the appliances that were presented. 

Five experienced Dometic product experts guided the training alongside the lead instructor  to address all questions from attendees. 

The Standards department maintains a professional team of full-time inspectors that promote the enhancement of safety by monitoring adherence to the standards. The team conducts more than 2,000 unannounced inspections of member company RV manufacturing plants annually and provides educational resources and hands-on training to manufacturer members. RV Industry Association inspectors walk every station along the production line, spot checking representative RV units for compliance with over 500 safety-related standards requirements and conducting hands-on discussions about these standards.

The RV Industry Association Standards department would like to thank Dometic for the time and expertise that were put into the training. The information presented will be highly beneficial to the Standards department’s inspectors, as the RV Industry Association continues to work tirelessly to support and educate its members on standards compliance and, ultimately, ensure that consumers have a safe and positive RV experience.
