Glass in Building - Insulating glass units - Part 1: Generalities, system description, rules for substitution, tolerances and visual quality

This European Standard (all parts) covers the requirements for insulating glass units. The main intended uses of the insulating glass units are installations in windows, doors, curtain walling, structural sealant glazing, roofs and partitions.
The achievement of the requirements of this standard indicates that insulating glass units fulfil the needs for intended use and ensures by means of the evaluation of conformity to this standard that, visual, energetic, acoustic, safety parameters do not change significantly over time.
In cases where there is no protection against direct ultra-violet radiation or permanent shear load at the edges, as in structural sealant glazing systems, it is essential to follow additional European technical specifications (see EN 15434 and EN 13022-1).
Insulating glass units that are intended for artistic purposes (e.g. lead glass or fused glass) are excluded from the scope of this standard.
Glass/plastics composites are under the scope as long as the surface of contact with sealants is a glass component.
NOTE   For glass products with electrical wiring or connections for, e.g. alarm or heating purposes, other directives, e.g. Low Voltage Directive, may apply.
This European Standard gives definitions for insulating glass units and covers the rules for the system description, the optical and visual quality and the dimensional tolerances thereof and describes the substitution rules within an existing system description. It also provides informative guidance for the installation of insulating glass units in windows or facades.

Glas im Bauwesen - Mehrscheiben-Isolierglas - Teil 1: Allgemeines, Systembeschreibung, Austauschregeln, Toleranzen und visuelle Qualität

Diese Europäische Norm (alle Teile) behandelt die Anforderungen an Mehrscheiben Isoliergläser. Die Hauptverwendungsgebiete für Mehrscheiben Isoliergläser sind der Einbau in Fenster, Türen, Vorhang-fassaden, geklebte Glaskonstruktionen, Dächer und Trennwände.
Das Erfüllen der Anforderungen dieser Norm bedeutet, dass Mehrscheiben Isoliergläser den Bedarf für den bestimmungsgemäßen Gebrauch erfüllen und stellt mit Hilfe der Bewertung der Konformität mit dieser Norm sicher, dass visuelle, energetische, akustische und sicherheitsbezogene Parameter sich mit der Zeit nicht signifikant ändern.
In Fällen, in denen kein Schutz vor direkter UV Bestrahlung gegeben ist oder bei dauernden, auf den Randverbund wirkenden, Scherlasten wie in geklebten Glaskonstruktionen sind zusätzliche Europäische Spezifikationen zu befolgen (siehe EN 15434 und EN 13022 1).
Mehrscheiben Isoliergläser für künstlerische Zwecke (z. B. Bleiglas oder verschmolzenes Glas) sind nicht Gegenstand dieser Norm.
Glas/Kunststoff Verbunde gehören zum Anwendungsbereich, solange die Oberfläche, die in Kontakt mit dem Dichtstoff steht, aus Glas ist.
ANMERKUNG   Für Glaserzeugnisse mit elektrischer Verdrahtung oder elektrischen Anschlüssen, für z. B. Alarm  oder Heizfunktionen, können weitere Richtlinien, z. B. die Niederspannungsrichtlinie, gelten.
Diese Europäische Norm umfasst die Definitionen für Mehrscheiben Isoliergläser sowie die Vorschriften für die Systembeschreibung, die optische und visuelle Qualität, die Maßtoleranzen und beschreibt die Regeln für den Austausch innerhalb einer bestehenden Systembeschreibung.

Verre dans la construction - Vitrage isolant - Partie 1: Généralités, description du système, règles de substitution, tolérances et qualité visuelle

La présente Norme européenne (toutes les parties) couvre les exigences relatives aux vitrages isolants. Les usages prévus des vitrages isolants sont principalement les installations dans des fenêtres, des portes, des façades-rideaux, des vitrages extérieurs collés, des toitures et des cloisons.
Lorsque les exigences à cette norme sont satisfaites, les vitrages isolants répondent aux besoins pour l'usage prévu et il est assuré, du fait de l'évaluation de la conformité à cette norme, que les paramètres visuels, énergétiques, acoustiques et de sécurité ne varient pas de façon significative dans le temps.
En l'absence de protection contre les rayonnements ultraviolets directs ou de cisaillement permanent sur les bords, comme dans le cas des vitrages extérieurs collés, il est nécessaire de se conformer à des spécifications techniques européennes supplémentaires (voir EN 15434 et EN 13022-1).
Les vitrages isolants, destinés à une utilisation artistique (par exemple, verre au plomb ou verre fondu) ne relèvent pas du domaine d'application de la présente norme.
Les composites verre/plastique relèvent du domaine d'application de la présente norme pour autant que la surface de contact avec les mastics de scellement soit un composant verrier.
NOTE   Pour les produits verriers équipés d'un câblage ou de branchements électriques pour les besoins d'alarme ou de chauffage par exemple, d'autres directives, comme par exemple la Directive « Basses tensions », peuvent s'appliquer.
La présente partie de cette Norme européenne donne des définitions pour les vitrages isolants et couvre les règles pour la description du système, la qualité optique et visuelle ainsi que les tolérances dimensionnelles et décrit les règles de substitution, dans une description de système existant. Elle fournit également un guide informatif pour l'installation de vitrages isolants sur des fenêtres ou des façades.

Steklo v gradbeništvu - Izolacijsko steklo - 1. del: Splošno, opis sistema, pravila za zamenjavo, tolerance in vizualna kakovost

Ta evropski standard (vsi deli) zajema zahteve za izolacijsko steklo. Glavne predvidene uporabe izolacijskega stekla so vgradnja v okna, vrata, obešene fasade, strukturno zasteklitev, strehe in predelne stene.
Izpolnitev zahtev tega standarda pomeni, da izolacijsko steklo izpolnjuje potrebe predvidene uporabe in s pomočjo ocene skladnosti s tem standardom zagotovi, da se vizualni, energetski, zvočni in varnostni parametri s časom bistveno ne spremenijo.
Kadar ni nobene zaščite pred neposrednim ultravijoličnim sevanjem ali trajnimi strižnimi obremenitvami robov, kot pri sistemih strukturnih zasteklitev, je nujno upoštevati dodatne evropske tehnične specifikacije (glejte EN 15434 in EN 13022-1).
Izolacijsko steklo za umetniške namene (npr. svinčevo steklo ali taljeno steklo) ne spada na področje uporabe tega standarda. Stekleni/polimerni kompoziti spadajo na področje uporabe tega standarda, če je površina stika s tesnili steklena komponenta.
OPOMBA: za steklene proizvode z električno napeljavo ali priključki za npr. alarmne ali grelne namene se lahko uporabljajo druge direktive, npr. direktiva o nizki napetosti.
Ta evropski standard določa definicije za izolacijsko steklo in zajema pravila za opis sistema, optično in vizualno kakovost ter dimenzijska odstopanja in opisuje pravila o zamenjavi znotraj obstoječega opisa sistema. Podaja tudi informativna navodila za vgradnjo izolacijskega stekla v okna in fasade.

EN 1279-1:2018 (E) 6 1 Scope This document (all parts) covers the requirements for insulating glass units. The main intended uses of the insulating glass units are installations in windows, doors, curtain walling, bonded glazing for doors, windows and curtain walling, roofs and partitions. The achievement of the requirements of this standard indicates that insulating glass units fulfil the needs for intended use and ensures by means of the evaluation of conformity to this standard that, visual, energetic, acoustic, safety parameters do not change significantly over time. In cases where there is no protection against direct ultraviolet radiation or permanent shear load on the edge seal, as in bonded glazing for doors, windows and curtain walling systems, it is essential to follow additional European Technical Specifications (see EN 15434, EN 13022-1 and prEN 16759). Insulating glass units that are intended for artistic purposes (e.g. lead glass or fused glass) are excluded from the scope of this standard. Vacuum insulating glass is not covered by this standard (see ISO DIS 19916-1). Glass/plastics composites are under the scope as long as the surface of contact with sealants is a glass component. NOTE For glass products with electrical wiring or connections for, e.g. alarm or heating purposes, other directives, e.g. Low Voltage Directive, may apply. This European Standard gives definitions for insulating glass units and covers the rules for the system description, the optical and visual quality and the dimensional tolerances thereof and describes the substitution rules based on an existing system description. 2 Normative references The following documents are referred to in the text in such a way that some or all of their content constitutes requirements of this document.
