Miami-Dade County enforces the strictest test protocols in the country for wind-borne debris, air and water tests. According to information from Kawneer, the Miami-Dade County NOA for impact-resistant products is the best way to be sure that a product has been tested and meets all the requirements for hurricane protection in the high velocity hurricane zone. The Florida Building Commission recognizes Miami-Dade NOAs as approved products.

These product approvals certify that Kawneer's 7225/8225TL Isolock® Windows, 2000T Terrace Doors and 1600 Wall System® 1 passed the rigorous testing standards established by the county, including testing for air and water leakage, structural pressure, forced entry and impact resistance.
