Steps

Use AAMA 503 (FGIA), Voluntary Specification for Field Testing of Newly Installed Storefronts, Curtain Walls and Sloped Glazing Systems, written primarily for commercial applications (as opposed to AAMA 502's residential/multi-family focus)
Confirm the current edition — AAMA 503 was updated in 2024 (superseding the prior 2014 edition), with expanded sections on sampling, site preparation, and responsible parties, and clarified that air-leakage-resistance testing under AAMA 503 is optional
Confirm the specification's purpose: evaluating installed performance of newly installed systems for air-leakage resistance and/or water-penetration resistance under controllable, reproducible, appropriate conditions
Coordinate the water-penetration test parameters referenced within AAMA 503 with ASTM E1105
Verify the current designation and revision status directly on the FGIA online store before citing in specifications, since the standard was substantially revised in the 2024 update

Known gotchas

Don't confuse AAMA 503 (field testing of newly installed systems) with AAMA 501.2 (quality-assurance/diagnostic water-leakage field check of already-installed storefronts/curtain walls/sloped glazing used for troubleshooting) — they serve different purposes and are cited in different QA scenarios
Air-leakage testing is explicitly optional under the current (2024) edition of AAMA 503 — confirm whether the project spec requires it in addition to water-penetration testing
