AAADM

The American Association of Automatic Door Manufacturers-the industry organization establishing safety standards and certification programs for automatic pedestrian doors. AAADM certification is essential for automatic door safety compliance.

AAADM certifies inspectors who conduct annual safety inspections per ANSI/BHMA A156.10 and A156.19 standards. Inspections verify sensor function, safety device operation, closing force limits, breakaway capability, and emergency egress. Documentation provides liability protection.

Building owners should ensure automatic doors are inspected annually by AAADM-certified inspectors. Certificates should be posted or available upon request. Related terms: automatic door, door operator. Contact us for automatic door services.
