Air Movement and Control Association

The Air Movement and Control Association International, Inc. (AMCA) is an international trade body that sets standards for Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) equipment. It rates fan balance and vibration, aerodynamic performance, air density, speed and efficiency.

AMCA was formed in 1955 from several earlier trade associations which could be tracked back to the fan-testing requirements of the US Navy in 1923. It is a nonprofit organization that issues over 60 publications and standards, including testing methods, a Certified Ratings Program (CRP), application guides, educational texts, and safety guides.
