Certification Assistance
CSA, NFRC, Energy Star, IGMA, Window Wise, AAMA and NFRC certification programs all require in-depth paperwork and intensive documentation. Pro-Active Fenestration Services can help you obtain the paperwork necessary for a successful audit and can assist you in maintaining those records going forward.
When undergoing certification there are many procedures to be followed and a maze of paperwork that must be filed. We can assist you in meeting certification regulations and requirements and can help you design and implement quality control programs.
In today’s competitive economy, one must offer not only reasonable price but quality product as well. As the building code requirements become stricter, window fabricators feel more pressure.
As we all know, there are a number of standards that are commonly recognized by consumers.
The average home owner is able to check any fabricator’s performances simply by comparing the numbers on CSA and Energy Star websites. Any buyer would rather purchase a window that is CSA certified and Energy Star compliant.
Fabricators seem to concentrate on increasing production and neglect other important issues such as certification, testing, maintaining QC records, documentation, preparing for SCA audits, and ensuring that the Energy Star website is kept up-to-date.
If a window is tested by the extrusion manufacturer this does not automatically mean that the windows, the fabricator has made are CSA certified.
