Steps
Review isfanow.org/isfa-standards-for-surfacing-fab for ISFA's existing material classification standards: ISFA 2-01 (Solid Surfacing, 2013) and ISFA 3-01 (Quartz Surfacing, 2013)
Note ISFA's announced 2026 expansion into a formal shop accreditation/certification program focused on safety practices, training, and silica-reduction procedures
Check the program's proposed four-phase rollout timeline (full statewide implementation targeted for April 2027, public database of certified shops targeted for January 2028) — these are proposed dates, not yet live
Confirm ISFA's plan to pursue ANSI developer status for its standards, noting neither ISFA 2-01 nor 3-01 is currently ANSI-endorsed
Check isfanow.org/isfa-acadamy (ISFA Academy, the training platform formerly called Ving) for current apprenticeship/certification course offerings
Known gotchas
ISFA's shop-certification/licensing program was presented to Cal/OSHA as a proposal — this is a proposed program with a multi-year rollout, not an existing mandatory credential; don't present it as already required
ISFA's material standards (2-01, 3-01) predate and are separate from any government silica regulation — they are voluntary industry classification standards, not a compliance substitute for OSHA/Cal-OSHA silica rules
