Ballot Description
Ballot Control Number
Blinds Between Glass (BBG)
NFRC 100, NFRC 200, and NFRC 700 (PCP) will continue to be held in abeyance until document and software modifications, training, and dependency on the Table 4-3 ballot are completed. This may required an update to the CPD to include the ±45º slat angles, which may include additional codes and updates to the upload spreadsheet. Staff expects this task to be relatively straight-forward. The simulation manual will be updated, and if necessary, training will be provided prior to implementation.
Standardize the slat stack height for blinds in the Fully OFF/OPEN orientation.
Handle the inclusion of ratings for products with slatted blinds between glass generated at +45 and -45 slat tilt angle positions (and other slat angle positions as desired).
Section 4.3.4.4.C: added ratings for slats tilted and clarification that the ratings shall not be displayed on the NFRC temporary label.

Commercial Trendline Approach (CTA) Methodology
There are some details that remain under investigation, such as implementation, software requirements, training, etc. that will be developed and presented to membership before the CTA is implemented.
New program language for rating commercial fenestration products using the CTA methodology.

NFRC 700 Modifications
These ballots are for the changing of the NFRC 700 to update the various changes to the PCP Program. These changes need legal review before implementation.
Provide a time frame for manufacturers to update their certification labels when a product line is recertified or changed.
NA
NFRC 705 Modifications
These ballots are for the changing of the NFRC 705 to update the various changes to CMA. These changes need cost analysis, legal review, and training before implementation.
The NFRC 705 CMA-PCP Task Group has modified the NFRC 705 document for the purpose of having the first label certificate of any new Specifying Authority to be reviewed by the Inspection Agency.
The NFRC 705 CMA-PCP Task Group has modified the NFRC 705 document for the purpose of revising the language to cover the situation where the information needed for the documentation audit is not available at the time the label certificate is issued. The proposed language requires that the audit documentation needs to be submitted within 30 days of when the documentation becomes available and that if the documentation is not available within 1 year, that a different label certificate is selected for the audit.
NA
Simplified Door Rating (SDR)
The SDR methodology program language is held in abeyance until the administration, certification, and program requirements/guidelines are developed and implemented.
This ballot is to modify the NFRC 700 with language applicable to SDR method. Many sections of the document have been modified, including definitions, licensing, certification, and Appendix D.
19-13
Ventilation Rating (VR)
At the direction of the NFRC Board of Directors, the approved NFRC 401 VR balloted language shall be published as an NFRC standard test procedure to determine a ventilation rating. NFRC is investigating the development and implementation of this test procedure.
The NFRC 700 PCP Review Task Group, on behalf of the Ventilation Rating Task Group, has modified the NFRC 700 document for the purpose of adding new language for the optional VR for operable fenestration products.
The National Fenestration Rating Council (NFRC) is the trusted, independent, nonprofit certification body for the energy performance of windows, doors, and skylights. With more than 35 years of expertise, NFRC is the standard-bearer in fenestration performance certification, providing the public with objective data that helps stakeholders make informed decisions about product and building performance. NFRC certification ensures that products are tested using precise, scientifically validated methods, resulting in ratings that are fair, accurate and credible. Contact us at info@nfrc.org.
