Adirondack Flagpoles is now contracting all our Testing and Certification functions to the State University of New York College of Environmental Science and Forestry division,  located in Syracuse,  N.Y.    All prototypes and preliminary design poles were tested and Certified by ESF prior to our final production and marketing of our flagpoles. The ESF facility features modern state-of-art testing equipment to determine the exact strength and stress ratings for all of our products in every species and size.   In addition to our preliminary testing we send our products to ESF on a continuing basis, testing 5% of our production runs to ensure quality control and conforming standards.   Detailed photos of the testing process and documentation of our Certifications will be posted in this section in the very near future.   For additional information on our Certification and the College of Environmental Science and Forestry please contact us by e-mail.
