This European Standard specifies a test method for determining the mechanical viscoelastic properties of interlayer materials. The interlayers under examination are those used in the production of laminated glass and/or laminated safety glass.  The interlayer properties are needed in order to determine the load resistance of laminated glass in accordance with prEN 16612 [1].
From the tensile modulus in particular conditions of temperature and load duration, an interlayer can be placed into a fa...view more

1.1 This document determines resistance of security glazing products to natural threats characterized by simulated destructive-windstorm events. 1.2 The test method determines the performance of security-glazing for use in fenestration assemblies under conditions representative of events that occur in severe, destructive-windstorm environments using simulated missile impact(s) followed by the application of cyclic static-pressure differentials. 1.3 A missile-propulsion device, an air pressure sy...view more

This document specifies requirements and a test method for security glazing designed to resist impacts of a hard body by delaying access of objects and/or persons to a protected space for a short period of time. It also classifies security-glazing products into categories of resistance to repetitive impacts of a steel sphere. In this document, the categories of resistance have not been assigned to special applications. It is intended that the glazing classification be specified on an individual ...view more

This European Standard covers all life cycle stages, from cradle to grave, namely product stage, construction process stage, use stage and end-of-life stage of glass products (see point 4), used in buildings.
While covering all life cycle stages, this PCR primarily focuses on the product stage, in particular the manufacturing of flat glass and the consequent processing into flat glass products (as listed in point 4.), from cradle to gate. It covers raw materials and energy supply, transport, f...view more

This European Standard gives a method of determining the design value of the bending strength of glass. It gives:
- the general method of calculation, and
- guidance for lateral load resistance of linearly supported glazed elements used as infill panels;
NOTE   Examples of lateral loads are wind loads and snow loads and self weight of sloping glass and climatic loads on insulating glass units.
This standard gives recommended values for the following factors for glass as a material:
-  materia...view more
