European foreword
This document (prEN 14178-1:2017) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 129 “Glass in
building”, the secretariat of which is held by NBN.
This document is currently submitted to the CEN Enquiry.
This document will supersede EN 14178-1:2004.
This document has been prepared under a mandate given to CEN by the European Commission and the
European Free Trade Association.
This European standard consists of the following parts:
— prEN 14178-1: Glass in building — Basic alkaline earth silicate glass — Part 1: Float glass;
— prEN 14178-2: Glass in building — Basic alkaline earth silicate glass — Part 2: Product standard.
This European standard differs from EN 14178-1:2004 as follows:
a) chemical composition has been modified in Table 1;
b) dimension, observation methods and defect tolerances have been modified in adequation with
EN 572-2 and −8 standards;
c) a new informative Annex B given complementary information related to REACH has been added;
d) the document has been editorially revised.
1 Scope

4 Chemical composition
4.1 Principal constituents
The basic glass products covered by this European standard are all manufactured from basic alkaline
earth silicate glass.
The magnitude of the proportions by mass of the constituents of basic alkaline earth silicate glass
covered by this standard is given in Table 1, see also Annex B.
NOTE Oxygen is not mentioned in Table 1 (see Annex A).

Properties other than photometric characteristics shall not be significantly
altered by these other components.
4.2 Tint
Body tinted basic alkaline earth silicate glass is obtained by the addition of suitable materials.
5 Physical and mechanical characteristics
5.1 General characteristics
Conventional numerical values for the physical and mechanical characteristics of basic alkaline earth
silicate glass excluding ‘Characteristic bending strength’ (f ) are given in Table 2. These values, for
g,k
normal annealed basic alkaline earth silicate glass without any further toughening, are not precise
requirements with which the glass shall strictly comply, but are the generally accepted figures for use in
calculations where a high degree of accuracy is not required.
