Testing & Certification of Flood Mitigation Products

Standards That Drive Innovation

In alignment with FMIA's mission to protect against the devastation and long-term hardships caused by flooding, FM Approvals partnered with the Association of State Floodplain Managers and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to operate the Flood Mitigation Certification Program—a catalyst for the development of better flood-fighting and early warning products.

Backed by scientific research, FM Approvals objectively tests and certifies flood mitigation products for the protection of commercial and industrial facilities. Testing and certification evaluates performance against different flooding conditions, measures resistance to common environmental concerns, and assesses component parts.

FM Approvals tests to requirements outlined by ANSI/FM 2510 (American National Standard for Flood Mitigation Equipment) and FM 2505 (Examination Standard for Early Warning Flood Sensor Systems).
