All Acme Window Hardware Ltd. Products undergo rigorous testing to ensure our products are the most reliable quality components. After being thoroughly tested in our own facilities, our products are then submitted to independent testing laboratories. These laboratories perform the necessary tests set down by both the American Architectural Manufacturers Association as well as CSA Canada. Acme Window Hardware Ltd. products not only meet all the requirements laid out, but in many cases far exceed the standards needed for certification. Listed below are the tests that our full line of products have passed.
