Preface 

This is the fifth edition of AAMA/WDMA/CSA 101/I.S.2/A440, North American Fenestration Standard/Specification for windows, doors, and skylights. It supersedes the previous edition published in 2017 under the same title. It is jointly published and maintained by the Fenestration and Glazing Industry Alliance (FGIA), a unified organization consisting of the American Architectural Manufacturers Association (AAMA) and Insulating Glass Manufacturers Alliance, the Window & Door Manufacturers Association (WDMA), and the Canadian Standards Association (CSA). This Standard/Specification was developed as an advisory document and is published as a public service. FGIA, WDMA, CSA, the individual members of the CSA Technical Committee on Performance Standard for Windows, and the U.S.A./Canada Joint Document Management Group (JDMG) disclaim all liability for the use, application, or adaptation of the material published in this Standard/Specification. Intended users of this Standard/Specification include building officials, manufacturers, architects, engineers, consumers, builders, contractors, trade associations, test laboratories, specifiers, product evaluation and certification agencies, and government agencies. FGIA, WDMA, and CSA intend for this Standard/Specification to be referenced in U.S. International Code Council (ICC) model codes and in the National Building Code (NBC) of Canada. This Standard/Specification presents provisions addressing fenestration product requirements, under the control of the product manufacturer, contained in those codes. CSA A440S1, Canadian Supplement to AAMA/WDMA/CSA 101/I.S.2/A440, North American Fenestration Standard/Specification for windows, doors, and skylights, provides additional requirements to AAMA/WDMA/CSA 101/I.S.2/A440 for compliance in Canada. The Canadian Supplement is considered suitable for use for conformity assessment within the stated scope of the Standard. The Canadian Supplement was prepared by the CSA Technical Committee on the Performance Standard for Windows, under the jurisdiction of the Strategic Steering Committee on Building Products and Systems, and has been formally approved by the Technical Committee. This Standard/Specification was jointly prepared by the CSA Technical Committee on Performance Standard for Windows, under the jurisdiction of the Strategic Steering Committee on Building Products and Systems, and by the U.S.A./Canada Joint Document Management Group (JDMG). This body includes representatives from FGIA, WDMA, CSA and other interested parties. This Standard/Specification has been formally approved by the members of the Fenestration and Glazing Industry Alliance, the members of the Window & Door Manufacturers Association and by the CSA Technical Committee. A list of the members of the CSA Technical Committee is available upon request. This Standard/Specification has been developed in compliance with Standards Council of Canada requirements for National Standards of Canada. It has been published as a National Standard of Canada by CSA Group. 

Scope 

1.1 General 

This fenestration Standard/Specification applies to both operating and fixed, new construction and replacement windows, doors, SSPs, TDDs, roof windows, and unit skylights. This fenestration Standard/Specification is material-neutral and establishes performance requirements for windows, doors, SSPs, TDDs, roof windows, and unit skylights including their components and materials. This Standard/Specification concerns itself with the determination of Performance Grade (PG), Allowable Stress Design (ASD) design pressure (DP), and related performance ratings for windows, doors, SSPs, TDDs, roof windows, and unit skylights and is based on laboratory testing of products in standard fixtures. This Standard/Specification is not intended to test or address the use or installation of the product. Performance requirements are used in this Standard/Specification when possible. Prescriptive requirements are used when necessary. When products successfully pass all applicable performance tests, a rating is determined and a test report may be issued. The primary purpose of this Standard/Specification is to enable end-product performance evaluation as may be required for certain US and Canadian model building codes for windows, doors, SSPs, TDDs, roof windows, and unit skylights. Performance-based product comparison, durability assessment, and technical issues related to certification programs are secondary purposes of this Standard/Specification. This Standard/Specification applies to testing and rating products. The tested rating applies to products of functionally identical construction, with both width and height less than or equal to the tested size. Programs have been developed or are proposed for determining fenestration energy performance ratings and for fenestrati
