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.
Glas im Bauwesen - Thermisch vorgespanntes Kalknatron-Einscheiben-Sicherheitsglas - Teil 1: Definition und Beschreibung
Diese Europäische Norm legt Grenzabmaße, Ebenheit, Kantenbearbeitung, Bruchverhalten und physikalische und mechanische Eigenschaften von einscheibigem, flachem, thermisch vorgespanntem Kalknatron-Einscheiben-Sicherheitsglas für die Verwendung im Bauwesen fest.
Anhang A enthält Angaben zu gebogenem, thermisch vorgespanntem Kalknatron-Einscheiben-Sicherheits¬glas, dieses Produkt ist jedoch kein Bestandteil dieser Europäischen Norm.
An thermisch vorgespanntes Kalknatron-Einscheiben-Sicherheitsglas können andere Anforderungen, die in dieser Europäischen Norm nicht festgelegt sind, gestellt werden, wenn es Bestandteil von Baugruppen ist, wie z. B. Verbundglas oder Mehrscheiben-Isolierglas oder wenn es weiterverarbeitet wird, z. B. beschichtet. Die zusätzlichen Anforderungen sind in der entsprechenden Produktnorm für Glas festgelegt. In diesem Fall wird thermisch vorgespanntes Kalknatron-Einscheiben-Sicherheitsglas seine Eigenschaften hinsichtlich der Biege-festigkeit und seine Widerstandsfähigkeit gegenüber Temperaturdifferenzen nicht verlieren.
Diese Europäische Norm behandelt keine im Anschluss an das Vorspannen oberflächenbearbeitete (z. B. durch Sandstrahlen, Säureätzung) Gläser.

3.1
thermally toughened soda lime silicate safety glass
thermally toughened safety glass
glass within which a permanent surface compressive stress, additionally to the basic mechanical
strength, has been induced by a controlled heating and cooling process in order to give it greatly
increased resistance to mechanical and thermal stress and prescribed fragmentation characteristics
Note 1 to entry: The mechanical properties, i.e. thermal durability and mechanical strength, and safety
properties, i.e. fragmentation characteristics, are generated by the level of surface compression. These properties
are not size dependent.
3.2

the toughening process
Note 1 to entry: After toughening the ceramic frit becomes an integral part of the glass.
Note 2 to entry: In the UK, this glass is also known as opaque thermally toughened soda lime silicate safety
glass.
Note 3 to entry: The application of the ceramic frit may be by a continuous process or discontinuous
application, e.g. screen printing. The enamelled surface could be partially or wholly.
3.5
horizontal process
process in which the glass is supported on horizontal rollers
3.6

EN 12150-1:2015+A1:2019 (E)
5 Fracture characteristics
The fracture characteristics of thermally toughened soda lime silicate safety glass are directly related to
the amount of surface compression. These properties are not size dependent.
When the thermally toughened soda lime silicate safety glass is manufactured with the correct degree of
surface compression then in the event of breakage thermally toughened soda lime silicate safety glass
fractures into numerous small pieces, the edges of which are generally blunt.
NOTE 1 The degree of surface compression required is dependent upon glass type and thickness.
NOTE 2 The fracture characteristics of glass are unaffected by temperatures between – 50 °C and + 100 °C.
!The fragmentation described in Clause 8 is undertaken on test specimens without any mechanical
constraint."
The fragmentation in service may not always correspond to that determined during the fragmentation
test due to the imposition of other stresses, i.e. from fixing or from reprocessing (e.g. laminating).
6 Dimensions and tolerances
6.1 Nominal thickness and thickness tolerances
The nominal thicknesses and thickness tolerances are those given in the relevant product standard (see
Clause 4), some of which are reproduced in Table 1.

The thickness of a pane shall be determined as for the basic product. The measurement shall be taken at
the centres of the 4 sides, and away from the area of any tong marks (see Figure 2), which may be
present.
6.2 Width and length (sizes)
6.2.1 General
When thermally toughened soda lime silicate safety glass dimensions are quoted for rectangular panes,
the first dimension shall be the width, B, and the second dimension the length, H, as shown in Figure 1.
It shall be made clear which dimension is the width, B, and which is the length, H, when related to its
installed position.

6.2.2 Maximum and minimum sizes
For maximum and minimum sizes, the manufacturer should be consulted.
6.2.3 Tolerances and squareness
The nominal dimensions for width and length being given, the finished pane shall not be larger than the
nominal dimensions increased by the tolerance t, or smaller than the nominal dimensions reduced by
the tolerance t. Limits are given in Table 2.
The squareness of rectangular glass panes is expressed by the difference between their diagonals.
The difference between the two diagonal lengths of the pane of glass shall not be larger than the
deviation limit, v, as specified in Table 3.

6.2.4 Edge deformation produced by the vertical process
The tongs used to suspend the glass during toughening result in surface depressions, known as tong
marks (see Figure 2). The centres of the tong marks are situated up to a maximum of 20 mm in from the
edge. A deformation of the edge less than 2 mm can be produced in the region of the tong mark and
there may also be an area of optical distortion. These deformations are included in the tolerances in
Table 2.

6.3 Flatness
6.3.1 General
By the very nature of the toughening process, it is not possible to obtain a product as flat as annealed
glass. This difference in flatness depends on the type of glass, e.g. coated etc., glass dimensions, i.e. the
nominal thickness, the dimensions and the ratio between the dimensions, and the toughening process
employed.
There are six kinds of distortion:
— overall bow (see Figure 3);
— roller wave distortion (for horizontally toughened glass only) (see Figure 4);
— air cushion wave distortion (for air cushion toughened glass only);
— edge lift (for horizontally toughened glass only) (see Figure 5);
— perimeter deformation (for toughened glass manufactured by air cushion process) (see Figure 10);
NOTE 1 Overall bow, roller wave, edge lift and perimeter deformation can, in general, be accommodated by the
framing system.
— local distortion (for vertically toughened glass only) (see Figure 6).

6.3.2 Measurement of overall bow
The pane of glass shall be placed in a vertical position and supported on its longer side by two load
bearing blocks at the quarter points (see Figure 7). For glass thinner than 4 mm nominal thickness the
support will have an angle between 3° and 7° from the vertical.
The deformation shall be measured along the edges of the glass and along the diagonals, as the
maximum distance between a straight metal ruler, or a stretched wire, and the concave surface of the
glass (see Figure 3).
The value for the bow is then expressed as the deformation, in millimetres, divided by the measured
length of the edge of the glass, or diagonal, in meter, as appropriate.
The measurement shall be carried out at room temperature.

The maximum allowable values are given in Table 4 and Table 6.
NOTE Results from this test method for glasses thinner than 4 mm may be inaccurate.
