Air Movement and Control Association (AMCA) International’s Middle East Region with more local manufa

26/02/2026

We are pleased to announce that ANSI/AMCA Standard 280, Test Methods for Wind Resistance and Impact Resistance for Fans and Ventilators, was officially published on February 23, 2026.

Current wind-resiliency test standards for fans and ventilators were originally developed for windows and doors and do not accurately reflect the structural demands of high-wind events. Their inconsistent application has led to variability in testing procedures and unclear pass/fail determinations.

ANSI/AMCA 280 was developed specifically for fans and ventilators to address these challenges. The standard incorporates defined large missile impact locations along with lateral and uplift load tests that better simulate real-world conditions. The result is a more consistent and relevant methodology that supports clearer compliance pathways, including for manufacturers pursuing Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance (NOA) listings.

We thank the committee members and contributors whose expertise and dedication made this important milestone possible.

"Not all products are created equal... and neither are the test results behind them."

In this video, we break down the difference between AMCA Certified products and those simply tested in accordance with AMCA standards.

AMCA Membership vs. AMCA Certified Products — What’s the Difference?

It’s a common question we hear in the industry. While both are important, they serve very different purposes:

✅ AMCA Membership connects a company to a global community of manufacturers, engineers, and leaders shaping the future of air movement and control. Members influence standards, join technical committees, access resources, and help drive industry progress.
✅ AMCA Certified Products demonstrate independently verified performance through the AMCA Certified Ratings Program (CRP). When a product carries the AMCA Seal, it tells buyers and specifiers they can trust the performance data — airflow, efficiency, sound, leakage, and more.

🔎 In short:
• Membership = belonging to the community and contributing to industry advancement.
• Certification = proof products perform as claimed.

▶️ Watch our new video to see why both matter — and how they complement each other.
