AMCA Certified Ratings Program for Air Curtains
Independent third-party certification of air curtain performance metrics including airflow, velocity, and power consumption
Air Movement and Control Association International
At Systemair and Frico, we believe performance claims should be more than just marketing—they should be backed by accredited, independent third-party bodies such as Eurovent, HVI and AMCA. That’s why many of our air curtains are certified under the AMCA Certified Ratings Program (CRP), administered by AMCA International.
The AMCA CRP provides HVAC professionals, consultants, engineers, installers, and building owners with independent assurance that the performance data in our product literature, selection software and webshop is accurate, comparable, and up to date.
Why AMCA certification matters
Air curtains play a critical role in building energy efficiency, occupant comfort, and indoor air quality (IAQ). With AMCA-certified air curtains from Frico, you can:
Save energy by decreasing HVAC load from uncontrolled air exchange
Ensure thermal comfort by minimizing temperature exchange across doorways.
Improve IAQ by reducing infiltration of airborne contaminants, allergens, and pollution
Comply with local codes and qualify for green building credits in certain markets.
Only AMCA-certified air curtains offer verified performance for air velocity, airflow rate, power consumption, and noise levels—ensuring apples-to-apples comparisons and enabling better system design.
