Both strongly believe that, considering the Companys standardization progress, including ANSI / NEMA (American National Standards Institute / National Electrical Manufacturers Association) voting to approve its product specification and its technology being voted into 10 segments of the NEC Code Book, its technology has met the necessary safety conditions for becoming a ceiling safety standardization requirement for homes and buildings.
