NOTE Can only be determined for panels made from glass blocks or glass paver units. 4.2.2.5 Safety in use - Burglar resistance: shatter properties and resistance to attack Burglar resistance shall be determined and classified in accordance with EN 356. NOTE Can only be determined for panels made from glass blocks or glass paver units. 4.2.2.6 Safety in use - Mechanical resistance: Resistance against sudden temperature changes and temperature differentials The resistance against sudden temperature changes and temperature differentials is dependent upon the residual stress within the product and is a measured value determined in accordance with Annex B that shall be ensured by compliance with this standard.
4.2.2.7 Safety in use - Mechanical resistance The mechanical strength is determined by the compressive strength.
Use the compressive strength and/or the breaking load values determined in 4.1. 4.2.2.8 Protection against noise - Direct airborne sound reduction For direct airborne sound reduction, the glass density and the mass of the glass block or glass paver unit is relevant. The glass density is a conventional value (EN 572-1), the mass shall be determined in accordance with EN 1051-1. 4.2.2.9 Energy conservation and heat retention - Thermal properties The thermal transmittance shall be determined in accordance with Annex C.
However more accurate U-values can be calculated, and may be declared, e.g. by means of finite element or finite difference methods on the basis of the thermal conductivity λ of glass (refer to EN 572-1) and the glass block or glass paver unit dimensions, form and shape in accordance with EN 1051-1.
4.2.2.10 Energy conservation and heat retention - Radiation properties: Light transmittance and reflectance The basic radiation properties shall be determined on a specimen of flat glass prepared from a glass block or glass paver unit. The basic light transmittance and reflectance shall be determined in accordance with EN 410. NOTE EN 410 is the reference method. If modelling is used to determine the light transmittance and reflectance of the glass block or glass paver unit it shall be in accordance with Annex D.



EN 1051-2:2007 (E) 9 4.2.2.11 Energy conservation and heat retention - Radiation properties: Solar energy characteristics The basic radiation properties shall be determined on a specimen of flat glass prepared from a glass block or glass paver unit.

If modelling is used to determine the solar energy characteristic of the glass block or glass paver unit it shall be in accordance with Annex D. 4.3 Durability When glass blocks and glass paver units shall conform to the definition of glass blocks and glass paver units as 4.1, the characteristic’s performances in 4.2 are ensured during an economically reasonable working life. The durability of glass products, including their characteristics, shall be ensured by the following:  Compliance with this standard.  Compliance with instructions from the glass product manufacturer or supplier.
The manufacturer shall supply specific installation instructions or make reference to appropriate technical specifications. NOTE The durability of glass products depends on:
 building and construction movements due to various actions;  building and construction vibrations due to various actions;  deflection and racking of the glass support due to various actions;  glass support design (e.g. drainage of infiltrated water in the rebate, prevention of direct contact between glass support members and glass);  accuracy of glass support and glass support member dimensions;  quality of the assembling of glass support members up to a glass support;  quality of installation of the glass support into or onto the buildings or constructions;  glass support expansion due to adsorbed moisture from the air or other sources;  quality of installation of the glass product into or onto its support. 4.4 Characteristics other than those listed in 4.2 Optical and visual characteristics shall comply with EN 1051–1. Dimensional tolerances shall comply with EN 1051–1. 4.5 Dangerous substances Materials used in products shall not release any dangerous substances in excess of the maximum permitted levels specified in a relevant European Standard for the material or permitted in the national regulations of the member state of destination.



EN 1051-2:2007 (E) 10 5 Evaluation of conformity 5.1 General Evaluation of conformity in accordance with this standard shall be as a result of Factory Production Control and Initial Type Testing in accordance with this standard 1) Factory production control;
This shall include the following: a) Inspection of samples taken at the factory in accordance with a prescribed test plan; b) Initial inspection of the factory and of factory production control; c) Continuous surveillance and assessment of the factory production control. 2) Initial type testing of the product; NOTE There may be a need to involve a third party, with 1b, 1c, and/or 2, for the purpose of regulatory marking (see Annex ZA). 5.2 Initial type testing of the product (5.1, 2) 5.2.1 General 5.2.1.1 Introduction All the product’s characteristics shall be initial type tested to verify they are in conformity with the requirements of this standard. Instead of performing any actual testing, initial type testing may make use of:  generally accepted and/or conventional and/or standardised values, in the Clause 2 referenced standards, or in publications that are referred to in these standards;  standardised calculation methods and recognised calculation methods in
Clause 2 referenced standards, or in publications that are referred to in these standards;  test report(s) on the basis of 5.2.1.3 when made available except for the characteristics listed in 5.2.2.  where components are used whose characteristics have already been determined, by the component manufacturer, on the basis of conformity with other product standards, these characteristics need not be reassessed providing they remain unchanged by the manufacturing process;  release of dangerous substances may be assessed indirectly by controlling the content of the substance concerned;  durability may be assessed indirectly by controlling the production processes according to this standard; NOTE 1 Products CE marked in accordance with appropriate harmonised European specifications may be presumed to have the performances stated with the CE marking.
NOTE 2 There may be a need to involve a third party for the purpose of regulatory marking (see Annex ZA). When actual testing is required then the Initial Type Testing (ITT) shall be undertaken on a sample representative of the product taken from direct production or a prototype, any plant and/ or line. NOTE 3 ITT should be undertaken using the reference method.



EN 1051-2:2007 (E) 11 Whenever a change occurs in the raw material or production process (subject to the definition of a family), which would change significantly one or more of the characteristics, the type tests shall be repeated for the appropriate characteristic(s). 5.2.1.2 Multiple lines/sites If a manufacturer operates more than one line and/or site, the following can reduce the requirement for multiple Initial Type Testing (ITT): i) The manufacturers’ technical file for a product shall specifically covers all sites and/or lines of the same manufacturer1, ii) The manufacturer shall establish a direct relationship between production control, initial type testing and on-going internal audit testing, iii) The manufacturer shall have a responsible individual designated to ensure product compliance based on:  The operation of a consistent Factory Production Control system on all applicable sites and/or lines,  The manufacturer having obtained evidence that shows the product to be consistent, with respect to both product characteristics and intended use characteristics,  The manufacturer has in place an internal auditing scheme, including product consistency. 5.2.1.3 Historic Data Tests previously performed in accordance with the provisions of this standard (same product, same characteristic(s), same or more onerous test method, sampling method and attestation of conformity) may be taken into account. 5.2.2 Type testing if products belong to the product family glass blocks and glass
