Edgetech Offers "IG Certification Manual" to the Industry

Edgetech I.G. has compiled an IG Certification Manual, which includes timelines, step-by-step instructions, frequently asked questions, a glossary of related terms and a full list of certification agencies. Edgetech representatives say the company developed the manual in response to a growing need among manufacturers for concise information regarding the new National Fenestration Ratings Council (NFRC) and Department of Energy (DOE) mandates.

"The concerns of our customers are our concerns as well," says Tracy Rogers, technical director for Edgetech I.G. "It is part of our mission to ensure their ongoing success and we know they will be affected by the new mandates. The IG Certification Manual is one way we are lending a hand to make sure manufacturers are prepared in time."

To continue using the ENERGY STAR® label, manufacturers must certify their products before the July 2010 deadline established by the NFRC and DOE. The IG Certification Manual is designed to provide all of the information manufacturers need to ensure their products will pass the stringent ASTM E2190 or CAN/CGSB 12.8 standard specifications for IG performance and evaluation.
