The American Gas Association advocates the interests of its energy utility members and their customers, and provides information and services promoting   demand   and   supply   growth   and operational excellence in the safe, reliable and cost-competitive delivery of natural gas.

(ASHRAE) American Society of Heating, Refrigeration, & Air Conditioning Engineers

ASHRAE was formed by the merger of two societies, American Society of Heating and Ventilating Engineers (ASHVE), known after 1954 as American Society of Heating and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHAE) and the American Society of Refrigerating Engineers (ASRE).

(ACRI) The Air-Conditioning and Refrigeration Institute

The Air-Conditioning and Refrigeration Institute (ARI) has occupied a leadership role in the advocacy of the heating, ventilating, air conditioning, and refrigeration (HVAC&R) industry for over 50 years. ARI certification consists of manufacturers who voluntarily participate in independent testing to ensure that their product will perform according to published claims.

(ADC) Air Diffusion Council

The purpose for which the Air Diffusion Council was formed, as stated in its Certification of Incorporation, is to promote and further the interests of the manufacturers of air distribution equipment, more specifically, flexible air ducts and related products, and the interests of the general public in the areas of safety, quality, efficiency and energy conservation, and to this end, develop programs approved and supported by the membership that legally promote and further these interests.

(CSA) Canadian Standards Association

The CSA tests products for compliance to national and international standards, and issue certification marks for qualified products. Certification marks tell potential customers and users that a product has been evaluated by a formal process-involving examination, testing and follow-up inspection-and that it complies with applicable standards for safety and performance.

ENERGY STAR

Energy Star® is a joint program of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the U.S. Department of Energy helping us all save money and protect the environment through energy efficient products and practices. Results are already adding up. Americans, with the help of ENERGY STAR, saved enough energy in 2005 alone to avoid greenhouse gas emissions equivalent to those from 23 million cars — all while saving $12 billion on their utility bills. Energy efficient choices can save families about a third on their energy bill with similar savings of greenhouse gas emissions, without sacrificing features, style or comfort. ENERGY STAR helps you make the energy efficient choice.

(GAMA) The Gas Appliance Manufacturers Association

GAMA, the Gas Appliance Manufacturers Association, is a national trade association of manufacturers of residential, commercial and industrial appliances and equipment, components and related products. GAMA's scope includes oil-fired and electric equipment as well as gas-fired equipment.

ISO (International Organization for Standardization)

ISO is the world's largest developer of standards. Although ISO's principal activity is the development of technical standards, ISO standards also have important economic and social repercussions. ISO standards make a positive difference, not just to engineers and manufacturers for whom they solve basic problems in production and distribution, but to society as a whole. The International Standards which ISO develops are very useful. They are useful to industrial and business organizations of all types, to governments and other regulatory bodies, to trade officials, to conformity assessment professionals, to suppliers and customers of products and services in both public and private sectors, and, ultimately, to people in general in their roles as consumers and end users.
