This document summarizes test requirements and criteria for various window types:
1) Fixed windows must pass air filtration, water resistance, uniform load deflection, and uniform load structural tests. Water resistance tests cannot show uncontrolled leakage.
2) Awning windows also require passing the same tests as fixed windows. Additionally, they must pass a life cycle test with no damage to components.
3) Sliding windows also require passing water resistance, uniform load, and other tests. Water resistance tests again cannot show uncontrolled leakage.
