INSULATING GLASS (IG) CERTIFICATION
Search for companies producing Certified Sealed Insulating Glass Systems.
AAMA offers IG certification through its Gold Label administrator, Associated Labs, Inc. (ALI). This relationship brings together two powerhouses of fenestration expertise - ALI with decades of IG certification experience and AAMA with decades of fenestration product certification and standards setting experience.
As of July 1, 2010, the National Fenestration Rating Council (NFRC) began enforcing the requirement for IG certification by a listed, third-party certification program for all insulating glass units used in products that are authorized for NFRC certification and labeled in accordance with the NFRC 700, “Product Certification Program (PCP).”
ALI offers competitive fees, and there are immediate cost and scheduling savings for companies who currently participate in the AAMA air-water-structural certification program. Performing simultaneous inspections for both the air-water-structural and IG programs offer significant cost savings. In order to receive NFRC certification, manufacturers will be required to use certified insulating glass units from an approved, ANSI accredited certification agency, such as ALI. The listing of the IG certification program sponsors can be found on the NFRC website.
To ensure that your NFRC certification is compliant with the IG certification requirement, contact Brad Schultz at ALI via email or phone (214) 565-0593.
