The RAIC is pleased to announce a recent collaboration with Fenestration Canada for a new, free, continuing education activity.
The regulatory regimes for window, door, and skylight products manufactured outside North America are not compatible with Canadian building code requirements. There is no recognized way to qualify imported products to Canadian requirements without testing them to the standards and test methods identified in Canadian building codes and regulations. While windows, doors, and skylights are being highlighted, there are a great many more categories of imported product that should be of equal concern to design professionals.
Fenestration Canada has prepared a document to inform RAIC members about the need to verify whether imported products have been qualified for Canadian code compliance before committing to use them. This document identifies the performance and testing requirements that apply to the window, door, and skylight products intended for installation in Canadian buildings.
This is an independent, self-directed learning activity. Participants will read the document and complete a quiz to earn a continuing education certificate.
