FIND SEFA COMPLIANT PRODUCTS
Nearly ten years ago SEFA's Membership voted unanimously in favor of an amendment to the SEFA By-Laws requiring all manufacturing members of the association and those wishing to become members, to submit a certified test report from a SEFA-approved test lab, establishing that they manufacture at least one "laboratory grade" product the complies with a SEFA Standard. SEFA maintains lists for each of the Standards which contain the name of the company along with the model name and/or number for the product(s) successfully tested.
Thank you to everyone who submitted a project for the 2023 SEFA Lab of the Year Competition. The Project Entry Portal is now closed until early spring. We have assembled a world-class Judging Panel chaired by Advisory Board Member, Josh Meyer, AIA. Joining Josh on the panel are Jay Bargmann (Rafael Viñoly Architects); Lloyd Fisk (RFD); Abbie Gregg (AM Technical Solutions); Jill Lerner (KPF); Barbara Han (Columbia University) and Shawn Mazzeo (UC San Francisco). The Judges met in Columbia University in New York City at the end of September and have selected two finalists -- Kornberg Center, Promega Corporation (SmithGroup) and Sarafan ChEM-H and Wu Tsai Neuroscience Institute - Stanford University (Ennead Architects LLP).
