Philadelphia Hardware Group’s commercial products are all now approved by the Builders Hardware Manufacturers Association to be BHMA Certified.  That means all of our commercial products have been tested and certified to BHMA standards. In addition to ensuring hardware quality and performance through its development of standards, BHMA also sponsors third-party certification ofThird-party certification is a formal process for independently verifying that a product meets specific requirements or criteria. Under the BHMA-sponsored certification program, manufacturers voluntarily submit a hardware product to independent laboratory testing to confirm that the product fully meets the criteria of its ANSI/BHMA standard. To make sure a certified product continues to conform to its underlying standard, in-factory audits of the product are conducted periodically. Products unable to pass the auditing process face loss of certification. BHMA publishes an annual directory of all BHMA certified hardware
