About This Item
ASTM E987 is the ASTM standard focused on standard test methods for deglazing force of fenestration products. It provides a technical basis for evaluating the force needed to remove glazing from fenestration assemblies, which can support product comparison, quality control, and compliance work. By using a consistent test approach, ASTM E987 helps manufacturers, laboratories, and specifiers assess how fenestration products perform under controlled conditions.
ASTM E987 standard overview
The ASTM E987 standard outlines test methods intended to measure deglazing force for fenestration products in a repeatable way. As a test-method document, it is centered on evaluation rather than design, helping establish a common reference for performance testing. This makes it useful when a product must be assessed consistently across samples, projects, or suppliers. ASTM E987 is most relevant where controlled measurement of glazing retention or removal force is needed for technical review.
Where is ASTM E987 used?
ASTM E987 is commonly used in testing and quality assurance settings tied to fenestration products such as windows, glazed assemblies, and related components. It may be applied by laboratories, product manufacturers, and technical teams that need a standardized way to measure deglazing force. The standard is also useful during product evaluation and specification review, especially when comparing performance across different fenestration designs or production lots.
Practical importance of ASTM E987
In practice, ASTM E987 supports more consistent testing and clearer communication between buyers, suppliers, and testing organizations. It can help reduce uncertainty when evaluating glazing retention behavior and may be used to support procurement decisions, internal quality control, or compliance documentation. Because deglazing force can affect product performance assessment, a recognized test method improves repeatability and helps limit disputes over how results were obtained.
