• AMCA Revises Ratings Manual

    Aug. 20, 2010
    The revision now includes the new CRP M procedure for licensing products manufactured under license from another manufacturer.

    The Air Movement and Control Association International, Inc. (AMCA) has recently revised its publication 11-03 Certified Ratings Program Operating Manual — AMCA 11-03 (R2008) (Rev. 5/10). The revision now includes the new CRP M procedure for licensing products manufactured under license from another manufacturer.

    The AMCA International Certified Ratings Program (CRP) assures buyers, users, and specifiers that the manufacturer’s published performance ratings of air system components are reliable and accurate. It provides information on how the product was tested, what appurtenances were included, and other pertinent information so that they may be able to select an air system component that will provide the performance required.

    AMCA 11-03 (R2008) (Rev. 5/10) provides a procedure to verify the manufacturer’s performance ratings on a regular schedule by check testing of the certified product line in the AMCA International Laboratory. AMCA 11-03 (R2008) (Rev. 5/10) is to be used in conjunction with companion documents as applicable, such as AMCA publications 211, 212, 311, 511, 611, 1011 and all known applicable CRP documents currently in use, and is the governance for the AMCA International CRP ratings program.

    Contractors interested in further information regarding the AMCA International’s Certified Ratings Program, are advised to contact Joe Brooks at AMCA International at 847/394-0150, or email [email protected].
