Association Adopted Standards
The following standards have been adopted by the RV Industry Association’s Board of Directors for the construction of RVs and Park Model RVs. The primary goal of the Standards Department Inspection Program is to monitor the pledge of member manufacturers to build in conformance to these adopted standards. In addition, the Standards Department conducts unannounced plant inspections, and provides educational opportunities and training tools related to these standards for members to further enhance their ability and commitment to comply.
