Registration for the Insulating Glass Manufacturers Alliance (IGMA) 2013 Summer Conference is now open on the IGMA website. The Summer Conference is scheduled for 7-10 August at the Halifax Marriott Harbourfront Hotel and Resort in Halifax, Nova Scotia.
The conference will focus on product quality, specifically through certification, testing and in-house quality systems, with presentations by Dan Braun (Architectural Testing) on NFRC 706, IG certification requirements for thermal performance and current prequalification strategies under development at IGMA.
The Thursday session will feature “Current Failure Trends in the Industry”, presented by Bill Lingnell, Lingnell Consulting Services and IGMA Technical Consulting. Additionally, Mike Burk (Quanex), an adult education specialist, will lead a hands-on training session titled “In-House Testing for Manufacturing Facilities.”
“Continuous quality improvement can lead to a higher first-time pass rate on Insulating Glass certifications,” says Margaret Webb, IGMA Executive Director.
The talk will focus on key failure modes and in house testing throughout the insulating glass production that can help improve end product quality and consistency.
