Arlington Heights, Illinois, United States, 20 May 2018: Air Movement and Control Association (AMCA) International has recently launched its AMCA Spec Check mobile app. Robb Clawson, Associate Director, Marketing and Communications, AMCA International, said the app was developed to heed the call of members, as well as customers, including specifying engineers, architects, contractors and other stakeholders, for quick and complete access to relevant documents pertaining to the Certified Ratings Program (CRP). Clawson added that this new initiative underpins the organisation’s commitment to transparency. “We always try to be transparent with members and the industry,” he said, “this is a whole other tool to do so and it’s something people are asking for.”

The AMCA Spec Check mobile app allows users to match product types to certification types; identify seals, CRP publications, and test standards for each certification type; send guide-specification language and document references via email or text message; search the AMCA CRP database; search for AMCA members and download AMCA CRP white papers, as well as provides accurate information on the guide-specification language relevant to each certification being offered through the CRP.

Some of the quickest and most ardent adopters of the app, Clawson said, have been in the Middle East and Asia. Users in the region, he said, have also been eager to provide feedback. “We are getting revisions cues and suggestions from users, members and customers,” he said, stressing that that flexibility of the digital platform allows the AMCA International to implement regular updates that address specific suggestions, the first wave of which is set to take place in the next few weeks.

The free app, Clawson said, is available for iPhone from the Apple App Store and Android devices from Google Play, with automatic updates.
