What are the ACT Voluntary Performance Guidelines?
"ACT has developed the following voluntary Performance Guidelines to make fabric specification easier. The 5 symbols give architects, designers, and end-users a vast amount of performance information in a succinct visual way. Look for these symbols on ACT member company sampling to assure that the fabrics you specify perform up to contract standards and pass all applicable testing.
These categories describe a material's performance features as measured by specified methods under standard laboratory conditions."
