The National Concrete Masonry Association (NCMA) is a United States trade association of manufactures of concrete and masonry products.[2] The association was founded in 1918.
NCMA publishes methods and specifications, which are used by the industry, and are cited within professional manuals.[3][4]
NCMA published a monthly magazine, Concrete Masonry Designs, from 2004 until 2010, when it became bi-monthly until 2012. The last edition of the magazine was published in 2015.[5] Beginning in 2015, NCMA began publishing eNews on an almost weekly basis.[6] NCMA holds an annual convention called ICON-Xchange.[7]
NCMA operates an ISO/IEC 17025 accredited testing laboratory.[8][9]
The association once worked with the United States Office of Civil Defense to create a video on how to build a family fallout shelter.[10]
