Air System Testing that Delivers Confidence
Ensure your product data is reliable and accurate by testing with the only third-party testing body exclusively dedicated to the air systems industry. The Air Movement and Control Association (AMCA) International Accredited Laboratory performs thousands of tests annually, providing confidence in the quality and reliability of your product to manufacturers, purchasers, specifiers, and users.
Real-World Testing Conditions
AMCA laboratories can test more than 20 air system products for various efficiencies, leakage, stability, and sound. We can evaluate your products based on their performance. Replicating real-world conditions such as rain, sand, wind, extreme temperatures, and other environmental factors enables us to test how well your product can withstand category-three hurricanes, desert sandstorms, and other harsh conditions.

Raising the Standard in Testing
Referenced in engineering specifications worldwide, AMCA test standards are accredited by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI), with most methods harmonized with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO).
The type of product and performance of interest dictates which AMCA/ANSI Test Standard and AMCA Rating Program Document is applied. Sometimes, two products tested in the same way can be rated differently.
AMCA standards are essential peer-vetted resources that are continually revised to accommodate changing codes and regulations, ensuring that your product testing will always reflect current best practices.
Testing vs Certified
Participating in the AMCA Certified Ratings Program (CRP) is distinct from testing a product following AMCA standards or testing in an AMCA-accredited laboratory. To be AMCA Certified, the product data must undergo a complete process that includes application, testing, review, certification, and verification. This process ensures that the product has met the industry's highest standards and is the most trusted and recognized certification. AMCA CRP provides accountability for published data, leading to efficient air systems in buildings worldwide.
The water penetration chamber test can simulate eight inches of rainfall per hour and wind speeds of 50 mph.
