The Status of the RICH counter for the HERA-B experiment will be reviewed. The counter aims at identifying pions and kaons in the momentum range 3-70 GeV/c by observing the Cerenkov photons emitted in a C4F10 gaseous radiator. Its photon detector uses a novel light collection system based on Hamamatsu multianode photo-tubes and a demagnification system constructed with plastic lenses transparent to UV radiation. The HERA-B RICH is presently under commissioning. Results of test measurements and commissioning runs will also be presented.
