A History of Strong Industry Leadership
FGIA is a significant contributor to the development of comprehensive standards that provide third-party validation of product performance and quality. We also continue to develop specifications, test methods and technical information reports.
Setting the Standards
FGIA is committed to quality. To promote and ensure the highest standards, we are involved in a multitude of activities that monitor the products and processes in our industry. Our standards are developed in response to the needs of our member companies to solve critical issues in the industry. It takes the interest, energy and experience of our members to help support the development of these standards. It is effective collaboration and communication that make us stronger, together.

Ballots
FGIA comprises a variety of large and small companies, including glass, window, door, skylight, curtain wall and storefront manufacturers, suppliers and test labs. To ensure true member equity, FGIA adheres to the “one company, one vote” policy. All members participate in appropriate voting measures and maintain a fair and equitable position within the association.
This holds true in our balloting process for standards development as well. This adherence to industry consensus has made FGIA the leader in fenestration documents and standards.
