Economizer Damper and Return Air Damper

Secondary Labeling Program
1. Purpose

3.4 Violation

This document outlines the purpose of the AMCA

International Economizer Damper and Return Air Damper
Secondary Labeling Program (SLP). The program exists to
provide code and other regulatory authorities assurance that
a damper found in labeled equipment that may not be easily
visible meets regulatory or building code requirements.

Any occurrence involving the AMCA SLP that is a breach of

the program rules defined by the program documents. Each
SLP violation is described in Section 9.

2. Scope
The scope includes volume control dampers used as economizer dampers and return air dampers found in various types
of heating, ventilating and air conditioning (HVAC) devices.
The dampers are required to be low leakage in order to
perform their intended function. The devices in which these
dampers are mostly found include air handling units, roof
top units, etc.
This document will provide the procedure by which eligible
companies may obtain a license or a sublicense to place the
label on their products if a duly qualified damper is used in
the product.

3. Definitions
3.1 Licensee

3.5 Associated licensed product

An HVAC device offered to the public that incorporates an
economizer damper or a return air damper authorized to
bear the AMCA CRP seal and that meets all requirements of
this Secondary Labeling Program.

3.6 AMCA conformance verification labels

The label that sublicensees associated licensed products
can bear, indicating an AMCA-certified damper is installed
in the device. These are also known, in this program document, as a secondary label.

4. Secondary Labeling Program Participation

Eligibility
The parties that may participate in this program are the SLP
licensee that manufacturers an AMCA-licensed damper and
the sublicensee that manufacturers the HVAC device that
incorporates the licensed damper.

This program uses the term licensee in two ways. In a

more general sense, an AMCA Certified Ratings Program
(CRP) licensee is any company authorized to use the seal.
A SLP licensee is a CRP licensee that meets the requirements of the program as described herein. A SLP licensee
has the ability to apply the secondary label without becoming a sublicensee.

Any manufacturer engaged in at least the assembly of HVAC

devices that utilize an AMCA-certified performance rated
damper as an economizer damper or return air damper is
eligible to participate in the program as a sublicensee upon
the execution of a sublicense agreement with AMCA.

3.2 Sublicensee

5.1 AMCA staff

A manufacturer that is authorized to apply the secondary

label to devices that incorporate either economizer dampers or return air dampers that are licensed in accordance
with AMCA Publication 511 [1] but not manufactured by the
sublicensee manufacturer. Sublicensees must be approved
in writing by AMCA.

AMCA staff is responsible for the overall administration of

the program and therefore is responsible for following:

3.3 Economizer
A duct and damper arrangement and automatic control
system that together allow a cooling system to supply
outdoor air to reduce or eliminate the need for mechanical
cooling during mild or cold weather.

5. Responsibilities of Parties

Maintenance of records of all licensees, sublicensees and their products licensed under this program
Ensuring completion and correctness of all applications requesting licensed use of the secondary label
Keeping and maintaining the directory of products
authorized to bear the secondary label
Printing secondary labels and selling them to authorized SLP licensees
Enforcing all reported violations of the program
AMCA 513-14 | 1

5.2 Licensees
Licensees are responsible for the following:
Performing all necessary steps to obtain a CRP
license, which will allow the economizer damper
and/or return air damper product line provided
to the sublicensee the authority to bear the
AMCA CRP seal per the current edition of AMCA
Publication 511
Reviewing and recommending approval of the
sublicensee application to display a damper
secondary label
Purchasing secondary labels for further distribution
to sublicensees
Keeping AMCA staff and sublicensees aware of any
changes that could affect the performance of their
AMCA licensed product(s)
Maintaining the certification status of the product
licensed under this program, offered as an economizer damper or return air damper

5.3 Sublicensees
Sublicensees are responsible for the following:
Applying the secondary label only on equipment so
authorized
Only using the secondary label on associated
licensed products after approval by AMCA staff
Obtaining approval from AMCA staff on any and
all marketing materials that include the secondary
label prior to use or publication of said marketing
material. (Staff will turn most requests around in
one business day.)

SLP addendum to their original license or sublicense agreement from AMCA by submitting a written request to the
executive director.
The SLP addendum to the license or sublicense agreement
shall be signed by the owner or officer of the party seeking a license or sublicense and sealed if incorporated. Two
signed/sealed copies are to be sent to AMCA, attention of
the executive director. AMCA will sign, seal and return one
copy of the license or sublicense agreement to the applicant.

6.2 Application
The sublicensee shall submit an application requesting an
appendix be issued for the associated licensed products to
be labeled. An example of a CRP SLP application is shown
in Annex D.

6.3 Approvals
AMCA staff will review the application, and if all material is in
order and meets the requirements of the program, staff will
issue a sublicense appendix and list the approved associated licensed products on the AMCA Directory of Secondary
Labeled Products. The appendix will be sent to the sublicensee and licensee(s).

7. Requirements for Maintaining License and

Sublicense

Complying with all terms of the sublicense agreement entered into between sublicensee and AMCA

As long as the associated licensed products remain licensed

and the sublicensee follows all the requirements of this
program, the sublicense will remain intact. AMCA retains
the right to terminate the sublicense if sublicensee fails to
comply with the terms of the sublicense agreement and/or
if the licensee fails to comply with the terms of the license
agreement entered into between it and AMCA.

Applying the correct Secondary label (Class 1A,

Class 1, or Class 2) that accurately describes the
licensed performance of the certified product

No modifications to the damper that may change the standalone certified performance are allowed.

6. Procedure for Participating in the Secondary Labeling Program

Eligible licensees may participate in the SLP by certifying
a product under the program scope and then signing the
SLP addendum to their license agreement. Thereafter, any
individual sublicensed product line may be licensed to bear
the SLP label (via the sublicense) after the requirements are
met and an appendix to the license agreement has been
issued by AMCA for the product line.

6.1 Licensing/sublicensing procedure

An eligible applicant licensee and sublicensee can obtain a

8.2 Purchase of the AMCA Secondary Label Program labels

The licensee shall obtain quantities of the AMCA SLP label
from AMCA headquarters. Reproduction of the SLP label
for application to products is strictly prohibited. AMCA
headquarters will be the sole source of labels. A licensee
can then distribute or sell these labels to its associated
sublicensee(s).

8.3 Permitted uses of the AMCA Secondary Label

Program label
The SLP label may be affixed to a product of a manufacturer
that is sublicensed to use the label. Upon receipt of written
approval from AMCA, reproduction of the label may be used
in publications, advertising, displays and exhibits, etc., when
directly and specifically associated with a product currently
licensed to the bear the seal or label.

8.4 Prohibited uses of the AMCA Secondary Label

Program label
The SLP label shall not be affixed to any product not licensed
to use the label. Reproductions of the label shall not be used
in the following ways:
On any page of a publication containing performance ratings of any non-licensed products
In photographs or illustrations of products not
currently licensed to use the label
In any way that implies products not currently
licensed to use the label are so licensed
To imply certification of manufacturing quality

9. Violations and Violation Procedures

9.1 Violations
The use by a licensee or sublicensee of the label or other
logos or marks in any way that is prohibited by Section 8.4
shall be considered a violation of the license or sublicense
agreement.
Distribution to the public of any promotional material, space
advertising or publication that does not meet the requirements of the program shall be considered a violation of the
license or sublicense agreement.

9.2 Procedure

9.2.1 Reporting
All members and the public are encouraged to report any
suspected violations to the AMCA staff. All reports of possible SLP violations should be accompanied by the appropriate documentation. Documentation may consist of the
offending item (e.g., a marketing brochure or catalog that
contains the possible violation), photographs or pictures of
the possible violation (e.g., a photograph of a non-licensed
product with the SLP label clearly attached) or a website that
shows the offense.
9.2.2 Investigation
Once a possible violation of the SLP is reported, AMCA staff
shall investigate to determine whether a violation occurred. If
it is determined that a SLP violation did not occur, no further
action is taken. If a violation did occur, AMCA staff will notify
the licensee or sublicensee of the violation.
9.2.3 Actions
AMCA staff shall notify the licensee or sublicensee in writing
and/or via email that they are in violation of the license or
sublicense agreement as soon as it is aware of the prohibited use. Upon being placed on notice of the violation by
AMCA, the licensee or sublicensee shall immediately cease
the prohibited use and shall inform AMCA in writing, within
30 days of notification, what corrective action will be taken
by the licensee or sublicensee to rectify the prohibited use.
Failure to inform AMCA of corrective measures within the
30-day period or failure to complete the corrective action
within 60 days (unless an extension is granted by AMCA
staff) after the notice of infraction shall result in the withdrawal of the appendix to the license or sublicense agreement for any or all product lines affected by the violation.
A non-licensees use of the label or other logo or mark in
any way that is prohibited by this program shall be considered illegal use. AMCA staff shall notify the non-licensee of
the illegal use and demand that they immediately cease the
prohibited use. That non-licensee shall then be required to
advise AMCA, in writing, what corrective action will be taken
by the non-licensee to rectify the prohibited use. Failure to
complete the corrective actions within 30 days may result in
AMCA taking legal action against the non-licensee.

9.3 Notification of the AMCA website Secondary

Label Program Directory update
In addition to the actions and time frames found above, the
AMCA website shall provide notification of the offense in
accordance with Table 1.

All actions required by the program documents are carried

out by AMCA staff (as the licensor) and either the licensee
or sublicensee.
