Overview

FprEN 16477-2 is a European Standard developed by CEN that focuses on painted glass intended for internal use in building applications. This part 2 of the standard specifically addresses the evaluation of conformity and factory production control (FPC) requirements for painted glass products. The document supports manufacturers in ensuring that their painted glass complies with essential performance characteristics for safe, consistent, and quality use inside buildings.

This standard complements EN 16477-1, which defines terminology, requirements, and test methods related to painted glass. Together, these standards provide a comprehensive framework for product assessment and quality assurance in the glass manufacturing industry-particularly for interior architectural applications.

Key Topics

• Scope and Application: Covers conformity assessment and FPC for painted glass used internally within buildings, excluding products with electrical components, which may require compliance with other directives like the Low Voltage Directive.

• Product Description: Manufacturers are responsible for maintaining a detailed product description describing raw materials, glass substrates, layers of paint, and process parameters ensuring reproducibility and conformity.

• Important Characteristics:

  • Glass substrate properties including density, hardness (Knoop hardness), Young’s modulus, Poisson’s ratio, bending strength, thermal resistance, specific heat capacity, coefficient of linear expansion, thermal conductivity, and refractive index.
  • Determination of these characteristics must consider both harmonized European specifications and equivalency demonstrations for non-standard glass components.

• Assessment and Verification of Constancy of Performance (AVCP):

  • Type testing to verify performance characteristics.
  • Factory production control measures, including ongoing inspection and testing.
  • Initial and continuous factory audits to ensure compliance and consistent quality production.
  • Procedures to manage production changes or modifications impacting product conformity.

• Marking and Labelling: Provides guidelines for appropriate product marking ensuring traceability and compliance with regulatory requirements.

• Additional Provisions: Annexes detail factory production control requirements, testing plans, voluntary third-party involvement, and alignment with EU Regulation 305/2011.

Applications

• Architectural Interiors: Painted glass products conforming to FprEN 16477-2 are widely used for decorative walls, partitions, and internal glazing applications where aesthetics and performance are critical.

• Building Safety: Ensuring conformity enhances fire safety, mechanical stability, and resistance to thermal stresses in environments such as offices, commercial buildings, and residential interiors.

• Quality Management: The standard offers manufacturers a robust framework for internal production quality assurance and external certification, facilitating trade and compliance within the European construction market.

• Product Innovation: Manufacturers can rely on this standard when introducing new painted glass products or modifying existing product lines while maintaining regulatory compliance.

Related Standards

• EN 16477-1: Provides definitions, requirements, and test methods for painted glass used internally.
• EN 356: Security glazing - resistance against manual attack.
• EN 410: Determination of luminous and solar characteristics of glazing.
• EN 673: Determination of thermal transmittance (U value).
• EN 12600: Pendulum impact test and classification for flat glass.
• EN 13501 Series: Fire classification of construction products and building elements.
• EN 15998: Fire resistance testing methodology for glass.
• prEN 16612: Load resistance determination of glass panes.

These related standards collectively support comprehensive evaluation criteria for painted glass and other glazing products in construction, enhancing safety, performance, and reliability.
