Design of glass structures - Part 4: Glass selection relating to the risk of human injury - Guidance for specification
(1) This document provides guidance for the development or improvement of rules deemed to help with the choosing of appropriate glazing for protection against injuries and falling, hereafter called "the Specifications". The Specifications to be written or revised can be a national regulation, a national standard, recommendations from a professional association, requirements for a particular project, etc.
(2) This document deals with the choice of the mode of breakage (see 5.2) with regard to the safety of people against:
- the risk of injury in the event of a collision with a glazed element, e.g. a partition,
- the risk of falling through or over a glazed element, e.g. a balustrade, and
- the risk of accidental falling of glass fragments on people not having caused the breakage, e.g. an overhead glazing.
(3) These risks can be evaluated in the function of a normal use of the building or construction work. This includes use by the elderly, children and people with disabilities, but excludes deliberate risk taking. It presupposes a rational and responsible behaviour of the users or, in case of children, of those responsible for supervising them.
(4) The information contained in this document can be used to define minimum glass configuration. It does not exempt from the verification according to CEN/TS 19100-1 and CEN/TS 19100-2 and where appropriate CEN/TS 19100-3.
(5) Safety against burglary, vandalism, bullet attack, explosion, exposition to fire and seismic actions are not covered in this document. Preventing these risks needs further appropriate requirements.
(6) This document does not apply to the following glass products:
- glass blocks and paver units;
- channel-shaped glass.
(7) It also does not apply to the following applications:
- escalators and moving walkway;
- lifts;
- accesses to machinery;
- animal enclosures and aquariums;
- greenhouses and agricultural installations;
- temporary scaffolds.
Bemessung und Konstruktion von Bauteilen aus Glas - Teil 4: Bestimmung der Glaskonfiguration in Abhängigkeit des Verletzungsrisikos - Anleitung zum Erstellen von Regeln
(1) Dieses Dokument dient als Anleitung für die Entwicklung oder Verbesserung von Regeln, die als Hilfe bei der Auswahl einer geeigneten Glaskonfiguration für den Schutz gegen Verletzungen und Herabfallen gedacht sind. Diese Regeln werden nachfolgend als „die Spezifikationen“ bezeichnet. Bei den zu verfassenden oder zu überarbeitenden Spezifikationen kann es sich um eine nationale Regel, eine nationale Norm, Empfehlungen einer Berufsorganisation, Anforderungen für ein bestimmtes Projekt usw. handeln.
(2) Dieses Dokument behandelt die Auswahl des Bruchverhaltens (siehe 5.2) in Bezug auf die Sicherheit von Menschen hinsichtlich
- des Risikos einer Verletzung im Fall eines Zusammenstoßes mit einem verglasten Bauteil, z. B. einer Trennwand,
- des Risikos des Stürzens durch oder über ein verglastes Bauteil, z. B. eine Balustrade und
- des Risikos des unbeabsichtigten Herabfallens von Glasbruchstücken, z. B. einer Überkopfverglasung, auf Menschen, die den Glasbruch nicht verursacht haben.
(3) Diese Risiken können für die übliche funktionale Nutzung des Gebäudes oder während der Bautätigkeit ermittelt werden. Dies umfasst die Nutzung durch ältere Menschen, Kinder und Menschen mit Behinderungen, schließt aber das bewusste Eingehen von Risiken aus. Es setzt ein rationales und verantwortungsvolles Verhalten der Nutzer oder, im Fall von Kindern, der verantwortlichen Aufsichtspersonen, voraus.
(4) Die Informationen, die in diesem Dokument enthalten sind, können dazu dienen, Mindestanforderungen an Glaskonfigurationen festzulegen. Dies befreit nicht von der Nachweisführung nach CEN/TS 19100 1 und CEN/TS 19100 2, und gegebenenfalls nach CEN/TS 19100 3.
(5) Schutz gegen Einbruch, Vandalismus, Angriff mit Schusswaffen, Explosion, Einwirkung von Feuer und Erdbeben ist nicht Gegenstand dieses Dokuments. Für die Vermeidung dieser Risiken sind weitere geeignete Maßnahmen zu ergreifen.
(6) Dieses Dokument ist nicht anwendbar für die folgenden Glaserzeugnisse:
- Glassteine und Betongläser;
- Profilbauglas.
(7) Es ist auch nicht für die folgenden Anwendungen anwendbar:
- Fahrtreppen und Fahrsteige;
- Aufzüge;
- Zugänge zu Maschinen;
- Tiergehege und Aquarien;
- Gewächshäuser und landwirtschaftliche Anlagen;
- vorübergehende Einrüstungen.
Conception et calcul des structures en verre - Partie 4 : Choix du verre en fonction du risque de blessure - Document d'orientation pour les spécifications
(1) Le présent document fournit des recommandations pour le développement ou l’amélioration de règles considérées comme utiles pour le choix de vitrages appropriés pour la protection contre les blessures et les chutes, ci-après désignées par « Spécifications ». Les Spécifications rédigées ou révisées peuvent être une réglementation nationale, une norme nationale, les recommandations d’une association professionnelle, des exigences pour un projet particulier, etc.
(2) Le présent document traite du choix du mode de bris (voir 5.2) en lien avec la sécurité des personnes contre :
- le risque de blessure en cas de heurt avec un élément vitré, par exemple une cloison ;
- le risque de chute à travers ou sur un élément vitré, par exemple une balustrade ; et
- le risque de chute accidentelle de fragments de verre sur des personnes n’ayant pas causé le bris, par exemple un vitrage suspendu.
(3) Ces risques peuvent être évalués dans le cadre d’une utilisation normale du bâtiment ou de travaux de construction. Cela inclut l’utilisation par une personne âgée, un enfant ou une personne en situation de handicap, mais exclut une prise de risque délibérée. Cela présuppose un comportement rationnel et responsable des utilisateurs ou, dans le cas des enfants, des personnes responsables de leur surveillance.
(4) Les informations contenues dans le présent document peuvent être utilisées pour définir une configuration de verre minimale. Elles ne dispensent pas de la vérification conforme aux normes CEN/TS 19100 1 et CEN/TS 19100 2 et, le cas échéant, CEN/TS 19100 3.
(5) La sécurité contre l’effraction, le vandalisme, l’attaque par tirs d’armes à feu, l’explosion, l’exposition aux incendies ou aux séismes, n’est pas couverte dans le présent document. La prévention de ces risques impose des exigences appropriées supplémentaires.
(6) Le présent document ne s’applique pas aux produits verriers suivants :
- briques et pavés de verre ;
- verre profilé en U.
(7) Le présent document ne s’applique pas non plus aux applications suivantes :
- escaliers mécaniques et trottoirs roulants ;
- ascenseurs ;
- accès aux machines ;
- enclos animaliers et aquariums ;
- serres et installations agricoles ;
- échafaudages provisoires.

0 Introduction
0.1 Introduction to CEN/TS 19100-4
This document is based on several European documents covering the choice of appropriate glazing for
the protection against injuries and falling, e.g. national standards, national building codes, professional
association recommendations, etc.
The aim of this guidance is to assist experts who want to write new safety Specifications or to revise
existing ones, whatever the type of document. It does not pretend to be exhaustive.
The values given are examples only and are based on different practices in Europe. Experts using this
guidance are free to choose other values.
In the same spirit, they can also take all or only some of the topics covered in this document and can add
requirements for situations not considered here.
0.2 Verbal forms used in the Eurocodes
The verb “shall” expresses a requirement strictly to be followed and from which no deviation is permitted
in order to comply with the Eurocodes.
The verb “should” expresses a highly recommended choice or course of action. Subject to national
regulation and/or any relevant contractual provisions, alternative approaches could be used/adopted
where technically justified.
The verb “may” expresses a course of action permissible within the limits of the Eurocodes.
The verb “can” expresses possibility and capability; it is used for statements of fact and clarification of
concepts.
1 Scope
(1) This document provides guidance for the development or improvement of rules deemed to help with
the choosing of appropriate glazing for protection against injuries and falling, hereafter called “the
Specifications”. The Specifications to be written or revised can be a national regulation, a national
standard, recommendations from a professional association, requirements for a particular project, etc.
(2) This document deals with the choice of the mode of breakage (see 5.2) with regard to the safety of
people against:
— the risk of injury in the event of a collision with a glazed element, e.g. a partition,
— the risk of falling through or over a glazed element, e.g. a balustrade, and
