 Product
Performance
Established and recognized industry performance
tests provide the truest method of comparing products.
Performance test results give an accurate evaluation
of the products being compared.
Manufacturers do not write performance tests.
Industry associations, testing laboratories and
standard associations write them. Included are:
- Underwriters Laboratories Inc (UL)
- Warnock Hersey International (WH)
- National Fire Protection Association (NFPA)
- American Society for Testing and Materials
(ASTM)
- Steel Door Institute (SDI)
- Door and Hardware Institute (DHI)
- Hollow Metal Manufacturers’ Association (NAAMM/HMMA)
Most if not all of Steelcraft products are subjected to one or more of the recognized performance test standards under the control of the testing agency at their locale or under the control of their employees and necessary reports issued. If products are tested in-house (manufacturer plant) an independent testing agency must witness the test and issue complete documentation.
