What is AMCA Listed?

With respect to louver products, the AMCA Listing Program is reserved for the AMCA 540 debris impact test and the AMCA 550 High Velocity Wind Driven Rain test. Unlike the AMCA 500-L test procedures, AMCA 540 and AMCA 550 are “pass/fail” criteria test procedures. By displaying the AMCA Listing label AMCA is certifying that the louver product(s) in question have passed the AMCA 540 and/or AMCA 550 standard. The AMCA 540 and/or 550 standards are requirements for the Hurricane Prone Region as defined by the International Building Code.
