The term Fenestration Testing Laboratory (when used with an architectural meaning and/or in regards to a building envelope) refers to either an individual test facility or the collective group of independent testing laboratories that have been inspected and accredited by nationally and internationally recognized governing bodies to perform fenestration test standards.
The word fenestration itself is a derivative of the Latin word Fenestra, which means window. Through the progression of time, the word fenestration has come to be used and accepted by architects, builders, and engineers as a technical term referring to windows, doors, and other types of openings in a building or wall envelope.
These labs conduct tests according to many nationally recognized test standards developed by AAMA, ASTM, NFRC, and WDMA 2011-02-08 at the Wayback Machine. Performance testing includes but is not limited to: Operating Force, Air Infiltration, Water Penetration, Structural Wind Loads, Thermal Simulations, and Forced Entry Resistance.
