Certifications

OEG is a member of the ASTM Certification Program.

ASTM developed its Program for member manufacturers to certify that structural cold-formed steel framing complies with IBC 2006 code requirements.

Structural cold-formed steel framing certification is independently validated by Architectural Testing. The validation process includes a minimum of two unannounced manufacturing facility audits per year, as well as on-going random selection and independent testing of certified cold-formed steel framing products.

Manufacturing facilities that satisfy the requirements for certification are authorized to certify structural cold-formed steel framing members that they produce as permitted by the Program Requirements. The list of manufacturing facilities with certification authorization is updated as changes occur so it is always current.
