Steps
Confirm the inspecting technician holds a current AAADM Certified Inspector credential (annual renewal exam and fee), not just a manufacturer factory-training certificate.
Identify whether the opening is full-power swinging/sliding (ANSI/BHMA A156.10), low-energy (A156.19), or folding (A156.38), since inspection criteria differ by standard.
Perform the annual safety inspection covering activating devices, safety sensors/guide rails, breakaway force, and signage per the applicable A156 standard.
Complete and retain the inspection/compliance record with door ID, date, inspector credential number, and pass/fail items for the building owner's file.
Affix or verify the inspection label/sticker on the door showing the last inspection date.
Known gotchas
Full-power doors (A156.10) require presence sensors and guide rails that low-energy doors (A156.19) with knowing-act activation are exempt from — using the wrong standard's checklist will miss or over-flag items.
AAADM certification lapses annually; a technician's card from a prior year is not evidence of current qualification.
Many insurers/AHJs require the inspection record retained on-site, not just the door sticker — a label alone doesn't satisfy documentation requirements.
