New Product Category Rule released for fenestration assemblies

A new Product Category Rule (PCR) for North America has been released in collaborative partnership among the Fenestration and Glazing Industry Alliance (FGIA), the National Glass Association (NGA), and the Window and Door Manufacturers Association (WDMA). This PCR for fenestration systems provides manufacturers with the base document needed to develop Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs). EPDs provide a means for manufacturers to take comprehensive, third-party verified Life Cycle Assessments (LCAs) and transform them into standardized declaration labels for their products.

The PCR covers exterior-grade, finished, assembled fenestration assemblies including skylights, windows, curtain walls, storefronts, and doors.
