It is also approved by the state of Florida for Product Certification, Quality Assurance and Product Approval Validation, and by the Texas Department of Insurance.
Credibility & Validation to Code: Validates the performance requirements of industry standards in the building codes and ensures material and component suppliers conform to the requirements and test protocols of the North American Fenestration Standard
Ease of Implementation: Manufacturers demonstrating compliance with the appropriate standards are permitted to label their products with the trademarked WDMA Hallmark Certification Label. There are no label fees and licensees determine the most efficient method of label application so as to not disrupt the manufacturing process.
WDMA is one of the three standard writers. Its standards and test methods are referenced in building codes, are required by architectural and builder specifications, and form the basis for high-performing, relevant product rating. WDMA facilitates the creation of standards through some of the most knowledgeable industry experts for developing, producing and implementing industry standards.
Access to the Certification Client Information Portal facilitates a more efficient way to view client-specific certification information in a secure manner. This web-based tool allows users to submit online certification applications for new products, view the status of any product application, see when the current products expire, and create customizable Certificate of Conformance and License (CCL's) for specific projects or specific product approval requirements. The tool also allows Hallmark participants to re-certify existing product lines and gives them complete control of the product line names and descriptions in a real-time working environment.
