Window testing can be a vital part of a building envelope performance evaluation. The testing can be conducted to isolate the window installation or the window product to determine the overall performance of the assembly. Water penetration testing is performed with the use of a calibrated water delivery system and an interior air chamber that simulates wind driven rain. This type of testing is performed under the guidelines established by the American Architectural Manufacturers Association (AAMA), the Window and Door Manufacturers Association (WDMA) and American Society of Testing and Materials (ASTM) that determine the window product and assemblies performance standards. These guidelines have aided in establishing the performance, weatherization and inspection requirements that have been recorded in RCW 64.55 and the Condo Act.
