Glass in building - Thermally toughened soda lime silicate safety glass - Part 1: Definition and description

This European Standard specifies tolerances, flatness, edgework, fragmentation and physical and mechanical characteristics of monolithic flat thermally toughened soda lime silicate safety glass for use in buildings.
Information on curved thermally toughened soda lime silicate safety glass is given in Annex A, but this product does not form part of this European Standard.
Other requirements, not specified in this European Standard, can apply to thermally toughened soda lime silicate safety glass which is incorporated into assemblies, e.g. laminated glass or insulating glass units, or undergo an additional treatment, e.g. coating. The additional requirements are specified in the appropriate glass product standard. Thermally toughened soda lime silicate safety glass, in this case, does not lose its bending strength characteristics and its resistance to temperature differentials.
Surface finished glasses (e.g. sandblasted, acid etched) after toughening are not covered by this European Standard.

Overview

EN 12150-1:2015/FprA1 - Glass in building: Thermally toughened soda lime silicate safety glass - Part 1: Definition and description - is a European standard that defines and describes monolithic flat thermally toughened soda‑lime silicate safety glass for buildings. The standard specifies tolerances, flatness, edgework, fragmentation behaviour and key physical and mechanical characteristics for use as safety glazing in building applications. Annex A gives information on curved thermally toughened glass but this curved product is not part of the standard. Surface‑finished glasses (e.g. sandblasted or acid‑etched) after toughening are excluded.

Key topics and technical requirements

  • Scope and definition of thermally toughened soda‑lime silicate safety glass for building use.
  • Dimensional tolerances and acceptable limits for pane size and edgework.
  • Flatness and optical distortion criteria (including terminology changes to “wave distortion” and “roller wave distortion”).
  • Fragmentation requirements and test conditions (fragmentation tests are undertaken on specimens without mechanical constraint).
  • Physical and mechanical characteristics, including bending strength and resistance to temperature differentials - properties that remain when glass is incorporated into assemblies or undergoes additional treatments.
  • Exclusions and limitations: curved toughened glass (informative only), surface‑finished toughened glass, and additional requirements for assemblies (laminated glass, insulating units) which are covered by the relevant product standards.

Practical applications

This standard is intended for any application where monolithic thermally toughened safety glass is specified for buildings, including:

  • Facades, curtain walls and shopfronts
  • Windows and doors
  • Balustrades and interior partitions
  • Canopies and overhead glazing

Using EN 12150-1 helps ensure that thermally toughened safety glass meets consistent quality and safety criteria for mechanical performance, fragmentation behavior and optical acceptability, aiding compliance with building codes and reducing risk in glazed installations.

Who uses this standard

  • Glass manufacturers and tempering plants for production and quality control
  • Architects and façade engineers specifying safety glazing
  • Glazing contractors and installers
  • Test laboratories assessing fragmentation, strength and flatness
  • Regulatory bodies and conformity assessors

Related standards

  • Additional EN product standards for laminated glass and insulating glass units specify extra requirements when toughened glass is incorporated into assemblies or coated. Consult the applicable glass product standards for assembly‑specific tests and acceptance criteria.

Keywords: EN 12150-1:2015/FprA1, thermally toughened glass, soda lime silicate, safety glass, flat glass, fragmentation, edgework, tolerances, flatness, building glazing.
