Green Verification

CISPI is as concerned for the world around us as we are for the integrity of American-made cast iron soil pipe and fittings. So all of our members achieve third-party verification for the manufacturing of cast iron soil pipe and fittings in accordance with the ASTM A74 and CISPI 301 standards while utilizing green and sustainable resources. These products are confirmed to contain a minimum of 96% recycled content.

The verification is conducted by ICC Evaluation Service, LLC (ICC-ES) with the provisions of the ICC-ES SAVE (Sustainable Attributes Verification and Evaluation™) Guideline for Determination of Recycled Content of Materials (EG101). ICC-ES examines members’ product information, test reports, calculations, quality control methods and other factors to ensure the products meet the sustainable (green) attributes listed in the respectable Verification of Attributes Reports.
