ANSI/SMA 6001, AS5039 and AAMA 1901 all count equally here — each is a recognised third-party protocol. We do not rank the standards against each other, because they measure different things and no neutral crosswalk exists.

- Warranty does not state both labor cover and transferability0 / 6

How the mesh is held in the frame is the usual failure point under lever attack. Naming the mechanism is a competence signal; refusing to describe it is not.
- Mesh retention method not described0 / 5
