Alexandria, VA (October 10, 2025) — The Air Conditioning Contractors of America Educational Institute (ACCA-EI) Standards Task Team (STT) announces an American National Standards Institute (ANSI) public review period for ACCA 5 QI, HVAC Quality Installation Specification, as a new American National Standard.
The 45-day ANSI public review period started on October 10 with a comment deadline of November 24, 2025. The proposed standard is unchanged from ANSI/ACCA 5 QI – 2015, for the purpose of regaining its ANSI designation as a new standard.
ACCA 5 QI contains minimum requirements for properly designing, installing, testing, and commissioning HVAC installations for residential and light commercial applications. Developed by a broad coalition of industry stakeholders, the standard identifies consensus requirements associated with quality installations, acceptable procedures for measuring or verifying the attainment of those requirements, and acceptable forms of documentation to show compliance with the requirements.
A public review form for comments with a link to the above standard has been posted on the ACCA website.
