There are 12 classes of SFIA membership, each with specific requirements that must be met. Article IV.1 of the SFIA Bylaws contains the following requirements for eligibility.

Mandatory:  Stud Code Compliance Certification Program
To ensure the integrity of certification, the program is administered by a recognized independent third party, Intertek, who periodically performs unannounced visits at the member plants and audits individual products.  Both structural and nonstructural stud and track products are tested for their mechanical properties, coatings, dimensions, and labels.  Panels and trusses are also labeled under the program but are not a certified assembly. 

Optional: Code Compliance Research Report CCRR-0224
Published by Intertek, Code Compliance Research Reports (CCRRs) demonstrate to building officials that your standard products meets the relevant codes. (CCRRs) can provide building officials with the information they need to approve the use of your building construction.

Optional:  ICC-ESR 4205 Report
Published by the ICC Evaluation Service, Evaluation reports from ICC Evaluation Service® are the most preferred resource used by code officials to verify that new and innovative building products comply with code requirements. The evaluation reports provide information about what code requirements or acceptance criteria were used to evaluate the product, how the product should be installed to meet the requirements, how to identify the product, and much more.
