Independent Verification Program

As an approved Certification Body for the ENERGY STAR® Windows, Doors and Skylights program, NFRC is required to introduce an Independent Verification Program (IVP) to the NFRC Product Certification Program. The NFRC Board approved the development of a verification program to meet the needs of the EPA requirement.

The IVP will involve verifying the performance ratings of ENERGY STAR® qualified and NFRC certified and labeled fenestration products sold in the market that agrees with the performance ratings listed in the NFRC Certified Products Directory.

The implementation of the pilot phase for the IVP will begin mid November 2011.
