Foreword
This document (prEN 15682-1:2012) 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 has been prepared under a mandate given to CEN by the European Commission and the
European Free Trade Association, and supports essential requirements of EU Directive(s).
EN 15682, Glass in building – Heat soaked thermally toughened alkaline earth silicate safety glass, consists
of the following parts:
Part 1: Definition and description;
Part 2: Evaluation of conformity/Product standard.

Introduction
Heat soaked thermally toughened alkaline earth silicate safety glass has a safer breakage behaviour when
compared with annealed glass. It also has a known level of residual risk of spontaneous breakage arising from
the possible presence of critical nickel sulphide (NiS) inclusions in the thermally toughened alkaline earth
silicate glass.
NOTE 1 In this case, it is about a statistical mean out of a big quantity of glass. It is impossible to determine separated
subjects from it for a building where definitely no "break" produced by NiS occurs. The breaking of glass caused by other
influences is not included herewith.
When used to offer protection under accidental human impact, heat soaked thermally toughened alkaline
earth silicate safety glass also should be classified according to EN 12600.
NOTE 2 CEN/TC 129/WG 8 is producing standards for the determination of the design strength of glass and is
preparing a design method.

1 Scope
This part of EN 15682 specifies the heat soak process system together with tolerances flatness, edgework,
fragmentation and physical and mechanical characteristics of monolithic flat heat soaked thermally toughened
alkaline earth silicate safety glass for use in buildings. Information on curved heat soak thermally toughened
alkaline earth silicate safety glass is given in Annex B, but this product does not form part of this document.
Other requirements, not specified in this document, can apply to heat soaked thermally toughened alkaline
earth silicate safety glass which is incorporated into assemblies, e.g. laminated glass or insulating units, or
undergo an additional treatment, e.g. coating. The additional requirements are specified in the appropriate
product standard prEN 15682-2:2012. Heat soak thermally toughened alkaline earth silicate safety glass, in
this case, does not lose its mechanical or thermal characteristics.

4 Glass products
Heat soaked thermally toughened alkaline earth silicate safety glass is made from a monolithic alkaline earth
silicate glass product generally corresponding to one of the following standards:
coated glass according to EN 1096-1;
basic alkaline earth silicate glass according to EN 14178-1.
5 Manufacturing processes
5.1 General
Heat soaked thermally toughened alkaline earth silicate safety glass is manufactured as follows:
Basic alkaline earth silicate glass products (see Clause 4) are cut to size, shaped and edge worked (see
Clause 9).
The prepared glass panes are then thermally toughened (see 5.2).
The thermally toughened panes are then subjected to the heat soak process cycle.
After manufacture the heat soaked thermally toughened alkaline earth silicate glass shall comply with the
fragmentation test (see Clause 10) and mechanical strength requirement (see 11.4).
5.2 Toughening process
The cut, shaped and edge worked glasses are toughened. The horizontal or vertical toughened glass shall
comply with the flatness criteria (see 8.3).
The thermally toughened alkaline earth silicate glass shall have a level of fragmentation that will ensure that
after the glass has been through the heat soak process, and subsequently tested to the fragmentation test
(see Clause 10), it shall comply with 10.5.

5.3 Heat soak process cycle
5.3.1 General
The heat soak process cycle consists of a heating phase, a holding phase and a cooling phase (see Figure 1).
Key
T glass temperature at any point, °C a heating phase
t time, h
b holding phase
1 first glass to reach 280 °C c cooling phase
2 last glass to reach 280 °C d ambient temperature
Figure 1 — Heat soak process cycle
5.3.2 Heating phase
The heating phase commences with all the glasses at ambient temperature and concludes when the surface
temperature of the last glass reaches 280 °C. The time to reach this temperature is defined in the calibration
process. This time will be dependent on the size of the oven, the amount of glass to be treated, the separation
between glasses and the heating system capacity.
NOTE 1 The glass separation and rate of heating should be controlled to minimise the risk of glass breakage as a
result of thermal stress.
To facilitate economic heating, the air temperature within the oven may exceed 320 °C. However, the glass
surface temperature shall not be allowed to exceed 320 °C. The period of glass surface temperature in excess
of 300 °C shall be minimised.
NOTE 2 When the temperature of the glass exceeds 300 °C, care should be taken to ensure that the properties of the
heat soaked thermally toughened alkaline earth silicate safety glass are not significantly altered i.e. they continue to meet
Clause 10.
5.3.3 Holding phase
The holding phase commences when the surface temperature of all the glasses has reached a temperature of
280 °C. The duration of the holding phase is minimum 2 h.
Precise oven control is necessary in order to ensure that the glass surface temperature shall be maintained in
the range of 290 °C ± 10 °C during the holding phase.

---------------------- Page: 10 ----------------------
oSIST prEN 15682-1:2012
prEN 15682-1:2012 (E)
5.3.4 Cooling phase
The cooling phase commences when the last glass to reach 280 °C has completed its holding phase, i.e.
been held for two hours at 290 °C ± 10 °C. During this phase, the glass temperature shall be brought down to
ambient temperature.
The cooling phase can be concluded when the air temperature in the oven reaches 70 °C.
NOTE The rate of cooling should be controlled to minimise the risk of glass breakage as a result of thermal stress.
6 Heat soak process system
6.1 General
The heat soak process system consists of
the oven (see 6.2),
the glass support (see 6.3),
separation system (see 6.4).
The oven shall be calibrated, see 6.5 and Annex A, and this determines the method of operation of the heat
soak process system during manufacture of heat soaked thermally toughened alkaline earth silicate safety
glass.
6.2 Oven
The oven shall be heated by convection and shall allow an unhindered air circulation around each glass pane.
In the event of glass breakage, the airflow shall not be hindered. The airflow in the oven shall be led parallel to
the glass surfaces.
NOTE The openings for the air ingress/egress should be designed to ensure that fragments of broken glass do not
cause blockages.
6.3 Glass support
Glasses may be supported vertically or horizontally. The glasses shall not be fixed or clamped, they shall be
supported to allow free movement.
NOTE Vertically means true vertical or up to 15° either side of true vertical.
The distance between glasses affects the airflow, heat exchange and the heating time. Glass to glass contact
shall not be allowed.
6.4 Glass separation
The glasses shall be separated in a manner that does not hinder the airflow. The separators shall also not
hinder the airflow e.g. see Figure 2.

Dimensions in millimetres
Figure 2 — Example of a vertical glass support
The minimum separation of the glasses shall be determined during the calibration of the oven, see 6.5 and
Annex A.
NOTE 1 Generally, a minimum separation of 20 mm is recommended. (See Figure 3.)
NOTE 2 If glasses of very different size are put on the same stillage, they will require greater separation in order to
prevent glass breakage when the furnace is opened after the heat soak process. The same applies to glasses with holes,
notches and cut-outs.

The positioning of the separators, material of the manufacture and their shape shall be specified during the
calibration test of the oven and shall be reproduced during the manufacturing process.

6.5 Calibration
The heat soak system, e.g. oven, glass separation, separators, etc., shall be calibrated, see Annex A.
The calibration shall determine the heating phase of the process, glass separation distance, the positioning,
material and shape of separators, the type and positioning of stillage(s) and define the operating conditions for
use during manufacture.
7 Fracture characteristics
In the event of breakage, heat soaked thermally toughened alkaline earth silicate safety glass fractures into
numerous small pieces, the edges of which are generally blunt.
NOTE Fragmentation in service does not always correspond to that described in Clause 10, due to restraint from
fixing or reprocessing (e.g. laminating), or due to the cause of fracture.
8 Dimensions and tolerances
8.1 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 6), which may be present.
8.2 Width and length (sizes)
8.2.1 General
When heat soaked thermally toughened alkaline earth 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 4. It shall be made clear which dimension is the width, B, and which is the length, H, when
related to its installed position.

8.2.3 Tolerances and squareness
The nominal dimensions for width and length being given, the finished pane shall not be larger than a
prescribed rectangle resulting from the nominal dimensions increased by the tolerance, t, or smaller than a
prescribed rectangle reduced by the tolerance, t. The sides of the prescribed rectangles are parallel to one
another and these rectangles shall have a common centre (see Figure 5). The limits of squareness shall be
determined by the prescribed rectangles. Tolerances are given in Table 2.

8.2.4 Edge deformation produced by vertical toughening
The tongs used to suspend the glass during toughening can result in surface depressions, known as tong
marks (see Figure 6). The centres of the tong marks may be 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 can
also be an area of optical distortion. These deformations shall be included in the tolerances in Table 2.
