What is ASA?

ASA was the acronym for “American Standards Association” and is no longer in existence

The American Standards Association was a standards organization which predated ANSI (American National Standards Institute) as the main standards organization,  and included many of the national standards for the commercial door opening industry.

The term “ASA” is still used by some commercial door manufacturers as follows:
