European foreword
This document (prEN 1748-1-1:2017) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 129 “Glass
in Building”, the secretariat of which is held by NBN.
This document is currently submitted to the CEN Enquiry.
This document will supersede EN 1748-1-1:2004.
This document has been prepared under a mandate given to CEN by the European Commission and the
European Free Trade Association.
This European Standard consists of the following parts:
— EN 1748-1-1 Glass in Building — Special basic products - Borosilicate float glass — Part 1-1:
Definitions and general physical and mechanical properties;
— EN 1748-1-2 Glass in Building — Special basic products - Borosilicate float glass — Part 1-2:
Product standard.
This European Standard differs from EN 1748-1-1:2004 as follows:
a) Rolled and Drawn sheet production methods have been removed, the standard scope is reduced to
Borosilicate float glass (scope and title have been modified);
b) chemical composition has been modified in Table 1;
c) classes for linear expansion coefficients have been deleted (notes in Table 2);
d) Clause 5 and Clause 6 have been revised, further nominal thicknesses have been added, sub
Clause 6.3 “Tolerances and squareness” has been completely revised; the squareness of rectangular
glass panes is now expressed by the difference between its diagonals;
e) Clause 5 translucent borosilicate glass has been removed;
f) Clause 7 has been completely revised (including the Zebra method of observation optical faults);
g) Clause 7: categories of defects have been removed, only one quality is defined (Table 8);
h) a new informative Annex A given complementary information related to REACH has been added;
i) the document has been editorial revised.

For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply.
3.1
borosilicate glass
silicate glass containing between 2 % and 5 % boron and with a chemical composition according to 4.1
of this standard
Note 1 to entry: As a result of the composition it has a high thermal shock resistance and a very high hydrolytic
and acid resistance.
3.2
borosilicate float glass
flat, transparent, clear or tinted borosilicate glass having parallel and polished faces obtained by
continuous casting and floatation on a metal bath

3.3
length, H and width, B
defined with reference to the direction of draw of the glass ribbon as shown in Figure 1

3.4
stock sizes
glass delivered in manufacturer's standard stock sizes
3.5
supplied size
pane of glass that has been supplied either as raw material for further processing and/or cutting down
to a size for installation
Note 1 to entry: This is a size that is outside the stock size.
3.6
final cut size
pane of glass that has been cut down to the dimensions being required either for installation or
processing into a final product
Note 1 to entry: Examples of processed final products are insulating glass units and thermally toughened safety
glass of those dimensions.
3.7
optical fault
fault which leads to distortions in the appearance of objects observed through the glass
3.8
visual fault
fault which alters the visual quality of the glass
Note 1 to entry: Visual faults include spot faults and linear / extended faults.
3.9
spot fault
nucleus which is generally accompanied by a halo of distorted glass

Note 1 to entry: Spot fault can be solid inclusions, bubbles, etc.
3.10
halo
area locally distorted, generally around a point defect
3.11
linear/extended fault
fault which can be on or in the glass, in the form of deposits, marks or scratches that occupy an
extended length or area
3.12
edge defect
defect which can occur on the edge of a cut size piece in the form of entrant and emergent fault and/or
bevel
4 Chemical composition
4.1 General
The magnitude of the proportions by mass of the principal constituents of borosilicate float glass
covered by this European Standard is given in Table 1, see also Annex A.
NOTE Oxygen is not mentioned in Table 1 (see Annex A).
Table 1 — Magnitude of the proportions by mass of the constituents of borosilicate glass
Constituents Proportion by mass of element
Silicon (Si) 32 % to 41 %
Aluminium (Al) 0 % to 4,3 %
Boron (Bo) 2 % to 5 %
Sodium (Na) 0 % to 6 %
Potassium (K) 0 % to 6,7 %
a < 5 %
Other components excluding oxygen
a
Properties other than photometric characteristics shall not be significantly altered by these other
components.
4.2 Tint
Body tinted glass is obtained by the addition of suitable materials.
5 Physical and mechanical characteristics
5.1 General characteristics
Conventional numerical values for the physical and mechanical characteristics of borosilicate float glass
excluding ‘Characteristic bending strength’ (f ) are given in Table 2. These values, for normal
g,k
annealed glass without any further toughening, are not precise requirements with which the glass shall
strictly comply, but are the generally accepted figures for use in calculations where a high degree of
accuracy is not required.
