Silicon photomultipliers (SiPM) are candidates selected as the potential photodetector technology for the dual-radiator Ring-Imaging Cherenkov (dRICH) detector at the future Electron-Ion Collider (EIC). SiPM are cheap devices, highly efficient and insensitive to the high magnetic field at the expected location of the sensors in the experiment. Here, on the other hand, SiPM are not radiation tolerant. Despite the integrated radiation level is expected to be moderate it should be tested whether single photon-counting capabilities and the increase in dark count rate can be kept under control to maintain the optimal dRICH detector performance across the years. The current status of the research for the EIC dRICH application and the first results on studies performed on a sample of commercial and prototype SiPM sensors are presented.
