The Insulating Glass Manufacturers Alliance (IGMA) has recently released a new technical publication, the TM-3000(90)-04: North American Glazing Guidelines For Sealed Insulating Glass Units For Commercial and Residential Use. Advisory guidelines to assist members in achieving long-term performance of sealed insulating glass units, the publication is intended for use by those who design, specify, manufacture and install insulating glass units and have been developed in accordance with IGMA quality control and due process procedures.

According to an IGMA news release, the guidelines were written as a result of open discussions and review by the IGMA Glazing Guildelines Task Group and are not a specification, but should assist in the successful glazing performance of sealed insulating glass units. Further stated by the Alliance, the guidelines are not intended to exclude other possible glazing practices but reflect IGMA guidelines that have been associated over the years with successful field performance of sealed insulating glass units.
