What Are IMPA Codes and Why Do They Matter for Marine Procurement?
IMPA codes are standardised identification numbers issued by the International Marine Purchasing Association, founded in 1978 by senior purchasing executives to create a unified procurement language for the global shipping industry. By using IMPA codes, buyers and suppliers can communicate precisely and avoid ambiguity when ordering marine products, regardless of the language, location, or systems being used.
For marine sunblinds and sunscreens, the relevant IMPA codes are:
IMPA Code | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
150721 | Spring roller type | Marine roller sunblind with aluminium frame and spring roller mechanism |
150722 | Clutch springless roller type | Marine roller sunblind with clutch springless roller mechanism |
150713 | Blinder Roller | Alternative IMPA reference used for marine roller blind products in some procurement systems |
SOLASOLV® and ROLASOLV® Products Available Under IMPA 150721 and 150722
Solar Solve supplies two product families under the IMPA 150721 and 150722 code references, covering the full range of navigation bridge, cabin, and control room window applications on commercial vessels:
SOLASOLV® Anti-Glare Transparent Screens
SOLASOLV® screens are see-through anti-glare roller screens specifically engineered for navigation bridge and wheelhouse windows on commercial vessels. They reduce solar glare by up to 93%, reject solar heat by up to 87%, and block up to 99% of UV radiation while maintaining full outward visibility at all times. Available as SOLASAFE® (with cassette) for newbuild and professional retrofit installations, or SOLAROLA® (without cassette) for straightforward retrofit applications.
ROLASOLV® Specialist Fabric Roller Blinds
ROLASOLV® blinds cover the full range of dimout and blackout fabric roller blind requirements for vessel cabin accommodation, crew rest areas, and specialist applications. The range includes CASSLITE® (cassette dimout), DIMMLITE® (non-cassette dimout), and LITETITE® (100% blackout). All are manufactured in South Shields, UK, and built to withstand the marine environment.
All SOLASOLV® and ROLASOLV® products are manufactured to the specific dimensions of the window being supplied. Full technical specifications and film colour options are available on the technical information page.
Type Approval — The Compliance Credential IMPA Procurement Teams Require
When procurement teams specify marine blinds under IMPA codes, compliance with international maritime safety standards is a primary requirement alongside price and availability. SOLASOLV® screens are the only marine anti-glare sunblinds in the world to hold simultaneous Type Approval from all four leading international classification societies:
- Lloyd’s Register — awarded May 2001
- DNV — awarded July 2002
- ABS (American Bureau of Shipping) — awarded September 2001
- RINA (Registro Italiano Navale) — confirmed
Type Approval certificates for all four classification societies are available to download from the Solar Solve downloads page and can be provided to classification society surveyors and flag state authorities as part of vessel compliance documentation.
