The National Fenestration Rating Council's(NFRC)board of directors approved the Rating Committee's NFRC 705 Documentation Trail Audit ballot during its fall meeting last week in Portland,Ore.
According to the NFRC,the ballot modifies the NFRC 705:Component Modeling Approach-Product Certification Program document by revising the language to cover situations where the information needed for the documentation audit is not available at the time the label certificate is issued.NFRC notes that the information needed for the documentation audit is not usually available until the project has been constructed,which can sometimes be many months after the label certificate is created.The new language requires that the audit documentation needs to be submitted within 30 days after the documentation becomes available and that if the documentation is not available within one year,that a different label certificate is selected for the audit.
