= Hfinal - Hinitial Haze variation between initial cleaning stage and end of cycle 2 5 Principle of the test Standardized glass samples shall be submitted to a spray of a standardized dirt mixture, followed by a simulation of natural weathering action by applying UV irradiation (to simulate sun) and water spray (to simulate rain). This cycle shall be repeated twice to ensure better stability of results. SIST EN 1096-5:2016



EN 1096-5:2016 (E) 7 The haze shall be measured at initial preparation (after cleaning) and final stage (at the end of the second cycle). The evaluation criteria shall be the haze variation ((Hinitial) and the sample at the final stage of the test (Hfinal), see Formula (1). ∆=−finalinitialHHH
(1) NOTE The incident light on glass samples with dirt deposit is diffused scattered and the effect in transmission is seen as reduction of contrast of objects observed through the glass. It is strongly recommended to measure haze at each step of the test (as explained in Clause 10) in order to check that there is no deviation of the test. The test and all handling of the product to be tested shall be performed in a clean environment, i.e. exempt from any source of contamination (organics, silicones, dust) which could modify the surface, affect the functionality, the test conditions or the haze measurements. An example of contamination checking procedure is given in Annex C. 6 Instrumentation 6.1 UVA-Illumination chamber A UV illumination chamber1) shall be equipped with UVA-340 lamps, such as described in EN ISO 4892-3:2013, Table 1 (“type I” lamps). A closed chamber is recommended. The irradiation power shall be set to 0,68 W·m «2·nm «1 at 340 nm on the surface of the samples, which is the maximal irradiance of solar light according to CIE 85 Table 4. The irradiation level shall be maintained constant and uniformly distributed such as to ensure a same level of irradiation on all the samples. NOTE
The irradiation level can be monitored with a radiometer. The intensity of the lamp can be controlled continuously and adjusted to balance aging of the lamps. Relative Humidity (RH) shall be maintained between 15 % and 50 % inside the chamber during the irradiation period. The air temperature in the illumination chamber shall remain between 25°C and 40°C. The UVA cabinet shall be placed in a well-ventilated area and its vents shall be fully opened, to ensure that the temperature inside the cabinet remains in the indicated values. The temperature and RH shall be monitored and given in the test report. The cabinet shall be clean and exempt of any contamination source, especially silicone source, see Annex C. 6.2 Sample support For the spraying steps, the sample shall be installed on a support, with an inclination of 10° from vertical. The description of the support is given in Annex A.
1) Equipment UV2000 or UVCon from Atlas or QUV from QPannel have been used during the Round Robin tests and found to be suitable. This equipment is an example of a suitable product available commercially.

EN 1096-5:2016 (E) 8 6.3 Spraying nozzle The spraying nozzle2) shall be fixed horizontally and aligned with the centre of the haze measurement area on the glass samples. The distance between the nozzle tip and the glass sample shall be 300 mm, as described in Annex A. The nozzle shall be a full cone airless nozzle with a large spray angle (120°). 6.4 Dirt mixture pressure tank The dirt mixture shall be placed in a dedicated pressure vessel equipped with a mechanical stirrer. The turning velocity of the stirrer shall be adapted to avoid particles precipitation. Pressure vessel and mechanical stirrer shall be made of inert material resistant to acid corrosion and shall not contain any silicone contamination source3). Attention shall be paid to ensure sufficient height of liquid (at least 5 cm) in the container in order to avoid air bubbles in the pulverization system, which could affect final results. The section of container may be lowered by using a narrower container inside the pressure tank to reduce the necessary solution volume. 6.5 Water pressure tank The same precautions against air bubbles as described in 6.4. shall be taken. The water pressure tank may be a simple clean pressurized tank. 6.6 Timer for spray The time of pulverization of the dirt mixture shall be measured in order to control the volume sprayed. It is recommended to use an automatic timer (such as a solenoid valve) to obtain better precision on pulverization time, thus on sprayed volumes. 6.7 Furnace used to dry the glasses The temperature set to dry the glasses shall be (60 ± 2) °C on the glass surface. Before starting the test, furnace shall be calibrated by placing the same amount of glasses that will normally be used for the test inside the furnace. A thermocouple shall be affixed on the glass surface to check the conformity to the target temperature. The duration of the drying stage shall be counted after stabilization of the glass surface temperature. The time for the glass surface to reach the (60 ± 2) °C shall not be included in the drying time.
2) The nozzle SSD-VKL-1-120°-1.4571 from Spraying Systems Germany has been used during the Round Robin tests and found to be suitable. This nozzle is an example of a suitable product available commercially. This information is given for the convenience of users of this European Standard and does not constitute an endorsement by CEN of this product.
3) Commercial equipment 83S-211-AT SS pressure tank with direct rotary agitation from ITW-Binks has been used for Round Robin tests and found to be suitable. This pressure tank is an example of a suitable product available commercially.

EN 1096-5:2016 (E) 9 7 Preparation of the glass samples 7.1 General The test shall be performed on monolithic samples of the products. Dual coating shall be tested according to one of the following options: — an equivalent glass, with only the self-cleaning coating on one side, shall be tested; or — the secondary coating shall be removed by polishing, providing it does not damage the self-cleaning coating on the opposite side; or — the use an of an adapted protection of secondary coating shall be provided (e.g. protective film with electrostatic or low adhesive charge, or laminated glass assembly), in order to protect the secondary coating during the spraying of the dirt mixture . This protective film shall be removed after the spray, and the secondary coating side shall be cleaned before haze measurements. Insulating glass units (IGU) shall not be used. NOTE 1 Assembly in IGU can distort the haze measurements. The test shall be performed on glass with a light transmittance
· 10 %. NOTE 2 For tinted glass and absorbing layers (self-cleaning or dual coatings) the light absorption may affect the precision of haze measurements. 7.2 Tested sample A minimum of 6 samples shall be tested for a given self-cleaning coating. The chosen number of samples shall be indicated as “n”. In case the product to be tested has to be toughened to become active, the test shall be performed on toughened samples. In case the product can be used annealed or toughened, both types shall be tested, with a minimum of 6 annealed samples and 6 toughened samples. The size of the samples shall be 150 mm x 300 mm. The central zone shall be analysed and the sample shall be positioned vertically, as described in Figure 1. The sample shall be engraved with references on the upper left corner of the opposite side from the side to be tested i.e. non coated side. SIST EN 1096-5:2016

Key 1 sample 2 test zone on the sample Figure 1 — Description of test sample 7.3 Control sample A minimum of 6 control samples shall be tested along with the self-cleaning products to be tested. Control samples shall have a behaviour known in advance. A commercial product can be used. The use of clear float glass as control sample should be avoided, due to the sensibility of its surface to its history. Control samples shall fulfil these criteria: — stability of performances and homogeneity; — availability; — low visible absorption; — low initial haze. EXAMPLE Examples of references samples are: — silica sheets; — float glass coated with a given oxide layer, resistant to corrosion (such as silica or photocatalytic coating); — commercially available photocatalytic self-cleaning glass. If control samples do not give the expected results a new test shall be performed, ensuring that all test conditions are respected. SIST EN 1096-5:2016



EN 1096-5:2016 (E) 11 8 Haze measurement 8.1 Unexposed surface cleaning Before each haze measurement the unexposed surface (i.e. the surface opposite to the surface to be tested) shall be cleaned in order not to distort the haze measurement. NOTE 1 Commercial glass cleaner and clean soft paper tissue can be used. No traces from residual cleaner or contamination shall be visible on the unexposed surface. Touching the surface to be measured when cleaning the unexposed surface shall be avoided. If the haze measurements show values clearly outside the average amongst the 9 measured points, the unexposed surface shall be cleaned again. The haze measurement shall be done a second time and the new values shall replace the values of the first measurement. NOTE 2 If there are still peculiar values after the second cleaning, it is most probably due the intrinsic sample characteristics. See also 10.5. 8.2 Position of haze measurements on the samples Haze measurements shall be performed on each sample in 9 positions, identical at each step of the test. To achieve identical positioning for each haze measurement steps, the haze measurement points shall be marked with a felt-tip (or diamond pen) on the opposite side from the tested side of the samples, as described in Figure 2. All dimensions are in mm

EN 1096-5:2016 (E) 12 8.3 Measurement of transmission haze The total light transmittance, Ttá, and the diffused light transmittance, Td, shall be measured at each of the nine positions defined in 8.2, according to the procedure described in Annex B. The reference of the sample shall always be on the top right corner, when viewed from the coated side. The haze measurements shall be made just above the marked dots, on the side opposite to the surface to be tested in order to avoid contact between the self-cleaning coating and the measurement equipment. The haze value, H, shall be expressed as the ratio of scattered transmittance to total light transmittance, in percent, see Formula (2): =100dtTHT (2) The value of haze for each measurement point shall be registered as Hij where: i is the number of haze measurement point as described in Figure 2 (i = 1 to 9); j is the number of the sample (j =

(1) NOTE The incident light on glass samples with dirt deposit is diffused scattered and the effect in transmission is seen as reduction of contrast of objects observed through the glass. It is strongly recommended to measure haze at each step of the test (as explained in Clause 10) in order to check that there is no deviation of the test. The test and all handling of the product to be tested shall be performed in a clean environment, i.e. exempt from any source of contamination (organics, silicones, dust) which could modify the surface, affect the functionality, the test conditions or the haze measurements. An example of contamination checking procedure is given in Annex C. 6 Instrumentation 6.1 UVA-Illumination chamber A UV illumination chamber shall be equipped with UVA-340 lamps, such as described in EN ISO 4892-3:2013, Table 1 (“type I” lamps). A closed chamber is recommended. The irradiation power shall be set to 0,68 W·m−2·nm−1 at 340 nm on the surface of the samples, which is the maximal irradiance of solar light according to CIE 85 Table 4. The irradiation level shall be maintained constant and uniformly distributed such as to ensure a same level of irradiation on all the samples. NOTE
The irradiation level can be monitored with a radiometer. The intensity of the lamp can be controlled continuously and adjusted to balance aging of the lamps. Relative Humidity (RH) shall be maintained between 15 % and 50 % inside the chamber during the irradiation period. The air temperature in the illumination chamber shall remain between 25°C and 40°C. The UVA cabinet shall be placed in a well-ventilated area and its vents shall be fully opened, to ensure that the temperature inside the cabinet remains in the indicated values. The temperature and RH shall be monitored and given in the test report.1) The cabinet shall be clean and exempt of any contamination source, especially silicone source, see Annex C. 6.2 Sample support For the spraying steps, the sample shall be installed on a support, with an inclination of 10° from vertical. The description of the support is given in Annex A. 6.3 Spraying nozzle The spraying nozzle2) shall be fixed horizontally and aligned with the centre of the haze measurement area on the glass samples. The distance between the nozzle tip and the glass sample shall be 300 mm, as described in Annex A. The nozzle shall be a full cone airless nozzle with a large spray angle (120°).

FprEN 1096-5:2015 (E) 8 6.4 Dirt mixture pressure tank The dirt mixture shall be placed in a dedicated pressure vessel equipped with a mechanical stirrer. The turning velocity of the stirrer shall be adapted to avoid particles precipitation. Pressure vessel and mechanical stirrer shall be made of inert material resistant to acid corrosion and shall not contain any silicone contamination source3). Attention shall be paid to ensure sufficient height of liquid (at least 5 cm) in the container in order to avoid air bubbles in the pulverization system, which could affect final results. The section of container may be lowered by using a narrower container inside the pressure tank to reduce the necessary solution volume. 6.5 Water pressure tank The same precautions against air bubbles as described in 6.4. shall be taken. The water pressure tank may be a simple clean pressurized tank. 6.6 Timer for spray The time of pulverization of the dirt mixture shall be measured in order to control the volume sprayed. It is recommended to use an automatic timer (such as a solenoid valve) to obtain better precision on pulverization time, thus on sprayed volumes. 6.7 Furnace used to dry the glasses The temperature set to dry the glasses shall be (60 ± 2) °C on the glass surface. Before starting the test, furnace shall be calibrated by placing the same amount of glasses that will normally be used for the test inside the furnace. A thermocouple shall be affixed on the glass surface to check the conformity to the target temperature. The duration of the drying stage shall be counted after stabilization of the glass surface temperature. The time for the glass surface to reach the (60 ± 2) °C shall not be included in the drying time. 7 Preparation of the glass samples 7.1 General The test shall be performed on monolithic samples of the products. Dual coating shall be tested according to one of the following options: — an equivalent glass, with only the self-cleaning coating on one side, shall be tested, or — the secondary coating shall be removed by polishing, providing it does not damage the self-cleaning coating on the opposite side, or — the use an of an adapted protection of secondary coating shall be provided (e.g. protective film with electrostatic or low adhesive charge, or laminated glass assembly), in order to protect the secondary

This protective film shall be removed after the spray, and the secondary coating side shall be cleaned before haze measurements. Insulating glass units (IGU) shall not be used. NOTE 1 Assembly in IGU can distort the haze measurements. The test shall be performed on glass with a light transmittance ≥ 10 %. NOTE 2 For tinted glass and absorbing layers (self-cleaning or dual coatings) the light absorption may affect the precision of haze measurements. 7.2 Tested sample A minimum of 6 samples shall be tested for a given self-cleaning coating. The chosen number of samples shall be indicated as “n”. In case the product to be tested has to be toughened to become active, the test shall be performed on toughened samples. In case the product can be used annealed or toughened, both types shall be tested, with a minimum of 6 annealed samples and 6 toughened samples. The size of the samples shall be 150 mm x 300 mm. The central zone shall be analysed and the sample shall be positioned vertically, as described in Figure 1. The sample shall be engraved with references on the upper left corner of the opposite side from the side to be tested i.e. non coated side. All dimensions are in mm

FprEN 1096-5:2015 (E) 10 7.3 Control sample A minimum of 6 control samples shall be tested along with the self-cleaning products to be tested. Control samples shall have a behaviour known in advance. A commercial product can be used. The use of clear float glass as control sample should be avoided, due to the sensibility of its surface to its history. Control samples shall fulfil these criteria: — stability of performances and homogeneity; — availability; — low visible absorption; — low initial haze. EXAMPLE Examples of references samples are: — silica sheets; — float glass coated with a given oxide layer, resistant to corrosion (such as silica or photocatalytic coating); — commercially available photocatalytic self-cleaning glass. If control samples do not give the expected results a new test shall be performed, ensuring that all test conditions are respected. 8 Haze measurement 8.1 Unexposed surface cleaning Before each haze measurement the unexposed surface (i.e. the surface opposite to the surface to be tested) shall be cleaned in order not to distort the haze measurement. NOTE 1 Commercial glass cleaner and clean soft paper tissue can be used. No traces from residual cleaner or contamination shall be visible on the unexposed surface. Touching the surface to be measured when cleaning the unexposed surface shall be avoided. If the haze measurements show values clearly outside the average amongst the 9 measured points, the unexposed surface shall be cleaned again. The haze measurement shall be done a second time and the new values shall replace the values of the first measurement. NOTE 2 If there are still peculiar values after the second cleaning, it is most probably due the intrinsic sample characteristics. See also 10.5. 8.2 Position of haze measurements on the samples Haze measurements shall be performed on each sample in 9 positions, identical at each step of the test. To achieve identical positioning for each haze measurement steps, the haze measurement points shall be marked with a felt-tip (or diamond pen) on the opposite side from the tested side of the samples, as described in Figure 2. kSIST FprEN 1096-5:2015

The reference of the sample shall always be on the top right corner, when viewed from the coated side. The haze measurements shall be made just above the marked dots, on the side opposite to the surface to be tested in order to avoid contact between the self-cleaning coating and the measurement equipment. The haze value, H, shall be expressed as the ratio of scattered transmittance to total light transmittance, in percent, see Formula 2: 100dtTHT= (2) The value of haze for each measurement point shall be registered as Hij kSIST FprEN 1096-5:2015
