The Air Movement and Control Association International, Inc. (AMCA), and Singapore based AFMA Technologies PTE LTD. (AFMA) enter into a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) for a collaborative venture, where AFMA will act as AMCA’s agent in Singapore administering AMCA’s Certified Ratings Program located in Singapore.

The MOU agreement will be signed by AMCA Executive Director, Barbara Morrison, and AFMA General Manager, Goh Swee Lee, on September 5, 2007 at AMCA headquarters, reveals the association’s press release. Following the signing, the AFMA delegation will receive extensive training on the operation of the AMCA Laboratory and Certified Ratings Program (CRP). AFMA, like MPI (Korea Machinery-Meter and Petrochemical Testing and Research Institute) and CRAA QCC (Beijing CRAA Quality Certification Center Co.), will be acting as AMCA’s authorized agent, guiding licensee’s through the certification process, including the collection of documentation from the licensee. AMCA will grant the license to use the CRP Seal.

Barbara Morrison says: “Many benefits will be derived by all parties: companies requiring access to a Certified Ratings Program will need to be licensed by only one organization for a reasonable fee; AMCA will provide immediate worldwide brand recognition to Southeast Asian, Middle Eastern and Indian products, including a well established successful international Certified Ratings Program with a deep knowledge of fan and other air system component testing and rating; AFMA will aid with the expansion of the AMCA Certified Ratings Program by reducing language barrier issues and rendering their vast knowledge of the Asian, Middle Eastern, and Indian culture and HVACR industry.”
