Cetiat accredited by AMCA and ARHI

Cetiat, the technical centre of the aerospaon and thermal industries, is strengthening its international expertise with industrialists through the acquisition of two new accreditations: the AMCA International(Air Movement and Control Association International)and theARHI (Air Conditioning, Heating and Refrigeration Institute)and thus affirms its role as a reference actor.

AMCA Accreditation: a gateway to the U.S. market

Cetiat and AMCA, a U.S. certification body specializing in air-to-air equipment, signed a fan collaboration agreement last April. Thus, any European manufacturer wishing to obtain AMCA certification to export its products to the US market, can now apply to Cetiat to carry out its fan performance tests.

ARHI accreditation: opening up to new territories

The Cetiat is also accredited by ARHI, an American certification association specializing in the field of HVAC (heating, ventilation, air conditioning), to carry out performance tests of equipment. By drawing on the expertise of the technical centre, ARHI wishes to spread its way to the EMIA area (Europe, Middle East, India, Africa). The Cetiat then offers strategic access to this geographical area by allowing the manufacturers who are installed there to carry out tests on their equipment.

A reference actor in metrology

Through these two accreditations, Cetiat shows its desire to be an international reference player in terms of performance testing of CVC equipment. It is now the first independent European laboratory accredited by AMCA and ARHI. These accreditations will enable it to forge closer relations with international manufacturers and to offer a local service to its nationals who wish to access these certifications.

As such, it has invested in new equipment and plans to ramp up over the next few months to meet certification testing requirements. The spirit of independence and the expertise of the industrial centre are thus strengthened.
