Introduction
EN 410 is in part a measurement standard and in part a calculation standard. EN 673 is a calculation
method based on input of the emissivity according to EN 12898. The Annex ZAs of the harmonized
standards for glass assign the initial determination of both radiation and thermal properties as tasks for
a notified laboratory (AVCP system 3).
Under AVCP system 3, when some characteristics have to be calculated (e.g. U value, g value, …) the
manufacturer undertakes the calculation according to the relevant standards. In this case, the calculation
tool is validated by a notified body who provides a report according to this document.
The purpose of this document is to cover only those energy conservation and heat retention
characteristics that are stated on the Declaration of Performance under the EU Regulation 305/2011,
namely:
— thermal properties
— radiation properties: light transmittance and reflectance
— radiation properties: solar energy characteristics
Characteristics other than the above are not covered as they are not required for the Declaration of
Performance.

3.1
applicant
party that provides the calculation tool for validation
3.2
validator
party that verifies the results of the calculation tool following the procedure described in this document
Note 1 to entry: Within the framework of the EU Regulation 305/2011, the validator is a notified body
4 Validation procedure
4.1 General outline
The applicant shall provide the validator with access to the calculation tool. Results obtained with the
calculation tool to be validated shall be compared by the validator to results obtained with the reference
calculation tool of the validator for defined reference products in accordance with 4.2. The difference
shall not exceed the value specified in Clause 4.6.
The reference data for tasks 1 to 15 in Table 1 shall be agreed between the validator and the applicant.
The reference data can be provided by the validator, applicant or Glass for Europe website.
NOTE Reference spectral data that can be used for the purpose of validation can be found on the Glass for
Europe website at: https://glassforeurope.com/spectral-data/.
In the case of reference data obtained from the Glass for Europe website, the applicant and validator
should use the same version (e.g. same date, version number, etc.).
4.2 Choice of the reference products and data
Calculated products shall represent the calculation tool capability, and include float glass, body-tinted
(absorbing) glass, coated low-e glass, coated solar control glass and, if relevant for the tool, laminated
coated glass (for both cases of the coating on an outermost surface and directly against an interlayer).
The validation shall include a small change in thickness (e.g. from 4 to 6mm).
The minimum number of tasks is summarized in Table 1.
In addition, one task each for single, double and triple glazing and, for laminated glass if relevant, shall be
repeated with spectral data provided by the validator. More tasks can be undertaken subject to
agreement between the applicant and the validator.
