- NFRC 500-2026[E0A0]: Procedure for Determining Fenestration Product Condensation Index Ratings
The documents, with changes from previous versions highlighted in markup format, are available here: NFRC Documents in Public Review. The documents will appear in the Standards Action on February 20, 2026, marking the beginning of the 45-day open public comment period.
All changes subject to public review have been previously balloted and approved by NFRC membership and Board of Directors. As an ANSI-Accredited Standards Developer, NFRC submits any NFRC documents proposed to become ANSI Standards, as well as any proposed amendments or modifications, for public review and comment per ANSI required procedures.
The NFRC Standards Committee oversees the review process. This committee requires the balanced participation of a variety of stakeholders and is currently seeking a new member in the General Interest category, which includes: institutions of higher learning and research; federal, state, or local government and energy or building code offices; nonprofit organizations promoting energy efficiency or conservation; other standards developers involved in energy efficiency and performance; and other interested parties not included in the other categories.
