Knowing The AAMA and ASTM Testing Standards and Procedures

It is quite often that the phone rings here at Recon Independent Assessments and the caller needs help understanding the Specification that requires Field Testing. The two standards that are typically encountered are the ASTM or AAMA standards for Testing Installed Windows, Storefronts and Curtainwalls. Whether or not the ASTM or AAMA standard is called for, the test procedures will be the ASTM E-1105 for Water Penetration or the ASTM E-783 for Air Infiltration.

These testing procedures are being called for on more and more projects. Does your staff have a good understanding of them? If the answer is no, do what The Williams Company and Ajax Building Corporation did recently.

Recon Independent Assessments provided an interactive and informative training session for both Contractors to cover the Testing Standards and Procedures.

At Recon, we feel that the more invested everyone is in the verification of quality product installations, the better the end result will be. Our goal is to help improve the quality of a building and the sustainability of it for the owner and occupants.
