Choosing the right shingles - understanding the label

Only members of the Cedar shingle and Shake Bureau (CSSB) are able to use the Certi-label. The Bureau members are bound by rigid quality standards. In order to ensure these standards are maintained, the bureau arranges for frequent, unannounced independent inspections by third party accredited agencies. The manufacturing process and finished product are checked against various local, national and international standards.

All CSSB members are able to use the Certi-label, tucked under the strap of each bundle to identify that their product has been subject to the rigorous and elevated quality standards of the bureau.
