Guidelines for Use of the BHMA Certified® logo:

  • ONLY products that have been certified by an approved third party and listed in the BHMA Certified® Products directory can display the BHMA Certified® logo. THESE PRODUCTS HAVE BEEN TESTED TO THE APPROPRIATE ANSI/BHMA STANDARD AND ARE UNDER THE FOLLOW-UP PROCEDURE AS SPECIFIED UNDER A LICENSE AGREEMENT WITH THE BUILDERS HARDWARE MANUFACTURERS ASSOCIATION. Certified Products listings are available on-line and in print. For information about certification download the licensing agreement (pdf) and then contact BHMA® headquarters.
  • BHMA Certified® logos can only be reproduced from the electronic files and logo sheet that BHMA® provides.
  • The logos or their elements cannot be altered.
  • The logos can be enlarged or reduced in size but cannot be re-proportioned.
  • Your logo must always be displayed more prominently than the BHMA® logo, so as not to suggest that the product is a BHMA® product or that the BHMA® logo is part of your product or company name. (If space does not allow you to position a certified logo the proper terminology to use in lieu of the logo is "this product is certified to ANSI/BHMA standard A156.…)
  • Do not combine the BHMA® logos with any other elements such as graphics, text, photos, slogans etc.
  • The BHMA® logos cannot be translated into another language and the characters cannot be set to another, such as Arabic or Japanese characters.
  • The BHMA® logos can be either all black or a combination of black and PMS 2728 (BHMA® blue.) The BHMA® lettering must be black…but the certified box may be PMS 2728. ….No other colors may be used.
  • The BHMA Certified® logo can only be used in promotional materials in association and close proximity to the product or the product description that is actually certified.

These include but are not limited to:

  • The Product
  • The Certified Product Brochure
  • The Certified Product Catalog
  • News Releases regarding the certified product
  • Signage regarding the certified product
  • Advertising for the Certified Product
  • Product Packaging is restricted to the smallest container carrying a certified product (not to be mixed with products that are NOT certified) Outer packaging can carry mark ONLY if all product within is certified.

Participate in the BHMA® Certification Program by voluntarily submitting a hardware product to independent laboratory testing to confirm that it fully meets the criteria of the appropriate ANSI/BHMA® standard.  This industry-wide certification program does not call for a manufacturer to be a BHMA® member in order to certify its products.
