Overview
EN 572-1:2012/FprA1 is the CEN European standard Part 1 for glass in building - basic soda‑lime silicate glass products. It defines fundamental terms and sets out the general physical and mechanical properties, chemical composition ranges and overall quality criteria for basic soda‑lime silicate glass used in construction. This Part establishes the common foundation used by the product‑specific Parts of EN 572 (float, wired, patterned, drawn, channel glass, supplied sizes, and conformity evaluation).
Key topics and requirements
- Scope and classification of basic soda‑lime silicate glass products for building applications.
- Chemical composition ranges (by mass) introduced in the FprA1 amendment (Table 1):
- Silicon (Si): 32% – 35%
- Calcium (Ca): 3.5% – 10.1%
- Sodium (Na): 7.4% – 11.9%
- Magnesium (Mg): 0% – 3.7%
- Aluminium (Al): 0% – 1.6%
- Others: < 5% (not significantly altering properties other than photometric characteristics)
- General physical and mechanical characteristics and quality criteria applicable to all basic product types (e.g., material properties used for design, handling and testing).
- Explicitly excludes detailed dimensions, tolerances, surface faults, and product‑type specific quality limits - these are covered in other EN 572 Parts.
- Annex A (informative): complementary information related to REACH - identifies soda‑lime silicate glass as an amorphous inorganic UVCB substance, notes potential registration exemptions under REACH (Article 2(7)(b)), and treats finished glass products as articles under REACH Article 3(3). The amendment also provides a chemical formula representation for identification.
Applications and users
EN 572-1 is used to:
- Provide a baseline specification for architects, façade and structural engineers when selecting glass by material properties.
- Support manufacturers and suppliers in declaring composition and general material characteristics for product standards.
- Guide testing laboratories and conformity assessment bodies on the general property definitions used across EN 572 product parts.
- Help specifiers, contractors and regulators ensure consistency in material selection, procurement and compliance with European product standards and REACH considerations.
Related standards
This Part forms the core of the EN 572 series. Product‑specific Parts include:
