NAFS-26 | Understanding Key Changes and Impacts on Testing Requirements

  • Thursday, September 24, 2:20-2:50 pm Pacific
  • Speaker: Aaron Blom, FGIA Technical Training Specialist

The 2026 edition of AAMA/WDMA/CSA 101/I.S.2/A440, the North American Fenestration Standard/Specification for windows, doors and skylights (NAFS), introduces important updates that impact fenestration product testing, labeling and approval across North America. Developed by CSA Group, the Fenestration and Glazing Industry Alliance, and the Window & Door Manufacturers Association, the standard continues to evolve in response to industry and regulatory needs. This session will focus on the now-mandatory secondary designator, influenced by proposals from the Federal Emergency Management Agency, and will break down what this means for performance ratings, compliance and product approval, especially as concerns like water intrusion gain attention in key regions.
