Insulating Glass Update
As of March 20, 2009, NAMI is now an
approved Insulating Glass Inspection
Agency under the NFRC Glass Program.
Click here for the
NFRC Website
All NFRC Licensees who assemble
insulating glass must participate in
an approved NFRC IG Program. “This
requirement shall become mandatory
for all Product Certification
Program Participants in July 2010.”
This may sound like a “distant
project”, however, insulating glass
can take between 4 to 6 months to
complete and of course it depends on
laboratory scheduling as well.
It is very critical to start this
process now in order to prevent any
future problems due to the
length of testing, back-log, or even
glass failure.
Contact NAMI needs to add Insulating
Glass as an additional program and
we will forward the instructions for
insulating glass sampling. All
initial samples for testing must be
witnessed by a NAMI Inspector. If
you have any questions, please
contact NAMI at 804.684.5124.
Quality Assurance
Don't let the word "Quality
Assurance" scare you! Quality
Assurance is a mind-set, and if the
"CEO" of the company grasps the
importance of this concept, then it
is often carried successfully
throughout the entire company.
NAMI requires licensee to review
their quality assurance manuals
every year. Designate members
of your company to sit down and
review the manual and the processes
of your company. The input
from other employees is invaluable!
Once the manual has been reviewed,
make sure the revisions are
implemented in both the manual and
in your processes. The manual
should reflect your revision date
and your document control number
should be reflected on each page.
Quality assurance will make you a
better company!
Structural Testing
All NAMI licensees
that are preparing to do prototype
or re-testing for structural
certification for windows and doors,
should be testing to the AAMA/WDMA/CSA
101/I.S.2/A440-05 test method.
Remember that the test method
designates the minimum test size,
however, test the largest size that
your manufacturing facility would
produce!
