NFRC Label Application and Verification Audit

Inspection template for verifying that each window or door carries the correct NFRC energy label before shipment, including matching U-factor, SHGC, and CPD number to the certified product configuration.

Inspection Setup and Product Identification

• Product identity matches the inspection record
  Record the unit identifier, product type, size, and job or order number being inspected.
• Certified CPD number available for verification
  Enter the CPD number from the certification record used to verify the applied NFRC label.
• Inspection performed before shipment release
  Confirm the audit occurred before the unit left the facility or was released to the field.
• Label verification source reviewed
  Select the records used to confirm the correct label and ratings.

NFRC Label Content Verification

• Applied NFRC label matches the certified CPD number
  The label CPD number must match the certified product record exactly.
• Applied U-factor matches certified value
  Enter the U-factor shown on the applied label and compare it to the certified value.
• Applied SHGC matches certified value
  Enter the Solar Heat Gain Coefficient shown on the applied label and compare it to the certified value.
• Label identifies the correct product configuration
  Confirm the label corresponds to the correct window or door configuration, including frame type, glazing package, and size family as applicable.

Label Placement, Condition, and Readability

• Label is securely applied and not peeling
  The label must be firmly attached and not loose, torn, or partially detached.

  If a mismatch or defect was found, the unit must be identified, segregated, or placed on hold to prevent shipment.
• Corrective action documented for any non-conformance
  Describe the non-conformance, containment action, and disposition if a label mismatch or other deficiency was found.
