The standard EN 17871:2024 presents a comprehensive and essential validation procedure specifically designed for calculating the spectrophotometric and thermal characteristics of glass products. This document delineates a clear methodology for ensuring the accuracy and reliability of the calculation tools that comply with existing standards such as EN 410 and EN 673. One of the key strengths of this standard lies in its focus on critical characteristics of glass products, including light transmittance (tv), light reflectance for both sides (rv, r'v), and solar direct transmittance (te). The inclusion of solar direct reflectance (re, r'e) and the total solar energy transmittance, commonly referred to as the solar factor or g value (g), demonstrates the standard's relevance in addressing various functional aspects of glass in building applications. The incorporation of thermal transmittance (U value) in vertical positioning further highlights the standard's applicability in real-world scenarios, assisting manufacturers and builders in achieving energy-efficient designs. The standard also provides clear guidance on the correct use of measured data, ensuring that practitioners can confidently apply these values within the calculation tool, which is fundamental in achieving accurate performance assessments. By standardizing these processes, EN 17871:2024 aids in reducing discrepancies that might arise due to inconsistent measurement or calculation methodologies across the industry. While the scope covers essential characteristics, it is noteworthy that certain elements such as UV transmittance (tuv), shading coefficient (SC), general colour rendering index (Ra), and thermal transmittance (U value) at angles other than vertical are explicitly excluded. This clarity helps users understand the limitations of the standard while focusing on its intended applications. In summary, EN 17871:2024 stands out as a vital resource for the glass in building sector, facilitating standardized validation procedures that underpin the calculation tools crucial for evaluating the spectrophotometric and thermal performance of glass products. Its focused scope and methodological clarity reinforce its relevance in promoting energy efficiency and regulatory compliance in building design.
