Education: GAI offer a comprehensive programme of courses and qualifications, leading to diploma qualification and ultimately to RegAI, the benchmark for the demonstration of professional architectural ironmongery competence.
Technical standards: GAI help develop the standards that affect the products its members make, specify and use. They also provide support and advice to the sector on applying these standards.
