The products were evaluated in full compliance with NFRC requirements to the standards listed below. *NFRC's Condensation Resistance rating is NOT e quivalent to a Condensation Resistance Factor (CRF) determined in accordance with AAM A 1503.

The center of glass SH GC and/or VT must be determined using WINDOW 5.2. The method gives overall product SH GC and VT indexed on center of glass properties. All values used in the calculations are trunc ated to six decimal place precision.
