• , Recommended Test Method for Lateral Inter-Story Movements (Drift)
• , Recommended Dynamic Test Method for Determining the Seismic Lateral Inter-Story Movement Causing Glass Fallout
• , Recommended Test Method for Vertical Inter-Story Movements

AAMA 501.4 provides a means of evaluating the performance of windows, window wall, curtain walls and storefront systems when subjected to specified horizontal displacements in the plane of the wall.

AAMA 501.6 provides a means of determining the horizontal racking displacement amplitude of exterior wall system framing members that would cause fallout of representative architectural glass panels under controlled laboratory conditions.

AAMA 501.7 provides a means of evaluating the performance of windows, window walls, curtain walls and storefront wall systems when subjected to specified vertical displacements.

“The most important change in this document issue for AAMA 501.4, 501.6 and 501.7 is that all three are now in alignment with each other,” said Lothar Erkens (), Vice Chair of the FGIA Seismic and Wind-Induced Inter-Story Drift Review Task Group. “While AAMA 501.4 and 501.6 were split from a single document into two documents for a good reason, the need to keep these texts aligned with each other was important.”
