Abstract	Particle identification at the Belle II experiment at the SuperKEKB collider in Tsukuba, Japan, is provided by two ring imaging Cherenkov devices, the time of propagation counter in the barrel and the proximity focusing RICH with aerogel radiator in the forward end-cap region. They are expected to provide kaon identification efficiency of more than 94\% at a rather low pion misidentification probability of 4\%. Most of the detector components is already produced and will be installed in the Belle II spectrometer in 2016.
