EN 12488:2016 (E) 12 4 Basic requirements 4.1 General The design of the framing, choice of materials and glazing methods shall be such that the following performance parameters are ensured for an economic service life: — The glazing shall not carry any of the loads of the frame / construction. — The glazing shall only carry the applied in-service loads such as self-weight, wind, snow, and where relevant, live load. The restraining system (i.e. bead) can transfer the loads back to the frame. Care should be taken to ensure that glazing beads, gaskets, etc. will not apply excessive stress to e.g. insulating glass unit and laminated glass edges. — The glazing is supported during its service life, including transportation and installation where appropriate. This includes the stability of the frame and the substructure. Horizontal transport should be forbidden unless agreed with the glass supplier. — The durability of the glazing is maintained, e.g. insulating glass unit edge seals and laminated glass interlayer(s) are to be protected from the impact of moisture, water penetration, ultraviolet radiation when relevant, incompatibilities, etc. The manufacturing tolerances of the glazing and the frame, as well as the expansion and contraction of the components due to variations in temperature and humidity, shall be taken into account. 4.2 Support of glazing The frame system shall support the glazing. NOTE 1 Information on allowable frame deflections can be found in EN 14351–1 and EN 13830. The frame and glazing system shall be sufficiently robust to ensure that the installed glazing does not come into contact with any part of the frame. NOTE 2 Some types of wooden frame systems allow glass being in contact with the glazing rebate upstand and/or the bead. This shall take account of any movement that may occur when the frame is being glazed and in service, similarly it shall cover transportation and installation in the case of factory glazing. Improper transport of glazed frames may lead to displacement of setting blocks or location blocks. This shall be prevented by appropriate measures. 4.3 Mechanical stability The framing and glazing rebate shall be designed in such a way as to prevent damage to the glazing during transportation, installation and when exposed to the design loads during its working life. The frame including the bead shall be designed to ensure that: — the glazing does not carry an undue proportion of any applied loads; — all loads shall be transferred by the frame and glazing system back into the frame and surrounding structures; — the frame shall be of sufficient stiffness to limit edge deflection. NOTE Excessive edge deflection can have a detrimental effect on the lifetime of insulating glass units. SIST EN 12488:2016
EN 12488:2016 (E) 13 Glass should be designed according to prEN 16612 when this standard will be available, or according to national design regulation. 4.4 Durability 4.4.1 Ultraviolet attack on sensitive components In order to maintain the design properties of the glazing, and to ensure that the insulating glass unit achieves an economically reasonable working life, UV-sensitive components shall be protected against direct UV-radiation, see EN 1279-1. 4.4.2 Chemical and atmospheric attack on sensitive components Compatibility between materials, e.g. the edge seal of the insulating glass unit, the interlayer(s) of the laminated glass, the glazing materials, the coatings on the glass and on the frames, shall be checked by the producer of the window and façade system with the component suppliers. The possible attack can be between materials in contact e.g. setting blocks and insulating glass unit seal, or not in contact e.g. gaskets and laminated glass interlayers. These components should also be durable against chemical and atmospheric attacks due to pollution, or aggressive or chlorinated atmospheres like in swimming pools. 4.4.3 Weather tightness The frame and glazing system shall be designed so as to ensure that the glazed window, door etc. offers a suitable degree of air and water tightness to the construction. This performance will also depend upon the conformity of the implementation to the relevant standard and/or national regulation, together with appropriate maintenance and repair. The glazing rebates shall be drained and ventilated to protect the glazing against moisture causing attack on the following: — insulating glass unit edge-seals; — laminated glass interlayer; — coated glass surfaces; — edges of wired glass; — frames, etc. The function of the drainage system is to evacuate water present in the rebate as a consequence of water ingress or water vapour condensation. It shall not be used as a deliberate way to evacuate water from the building envelope. See examples in Annex A. It shall be ensured that no warm and humid air can pass from the room side (inside) to the rebate to create additional condensation. 4.4.4 Additional considerations for sloping glazing For sloping glazing, additional aspects should be taken into account, for example water entrapment, snow and ice entrapment, see Annex D. 4.5 Special requirements Additional measures may be required for the following: SIST EN 12488:2016
EN 12488:2016 (E) 14 — thermal insulation and risk of thermal bridges; — integrated solar control; — risk of thermal breakage; — sound insulation; — safety; — security; — fire and smoke; — glazing with electrical component. 5 Requirements for the components 5.1 Frame selection, materials and finishes 5.1.1 Design of the frame The frame shall be designed in such a way that it fulfils the requirements of the standards applicable to windows, doors and facades systems. These standards, when appropriated, shall be followed: — EN 13241-1: Windows and doors – Industrial, commercial and garage doors and gates – Part 1: Product without fire resistance or smoke control characteristics; — EN 13830: Curtain walling – Product standard; — EN 14351-1: Windows and doors - Product standard, performance characteristics - Part 1: Windows and external pedestrian doorsets without resistance to fire and/or smoke leakage characteristics; — prEN 14351-2: Windows and doors - Product standard, performance characteristics - Part 2: Internal pedestrian doorsets without resistance to fire and/or smoke leakage characteristics; — EN 16034: Pedestrian doorsets, industrial, commercial, garage doors and openable windows - Product standard, performance characteristics - Fire resistance and/or smoke control characteristics. 5.1.2 Selection When selecting a frame, the following shall be ensured: — the materials used are suitable for the proposed method of glazing; — the rebate upstand is sufficient to give adequate edge cover to the glazing, and sufficient edge clearance taking into account frame and glazing tolerances; — the rebate platform is of sufficient size to allow the required thickness of glazing material on each side of the glazing, and to allow for the correct positioning and fixing of the beads; SIST EN 12488:2016
EN 12488:2016 (E) 15 — the beads have the required dimensions to enable them to be positioned, fixed correctly and to give adequate edge cover to the glazing; — the design of any drainage/ventilation system is adequate for pressure equalization and the rapid removal of any water that may be present in the rebate area; — the rebate upstands shall all be in the same plane at the corners. 5.1.3 Frame materials 5.1.3.1 General The material used for the manufacturing of a frame or surround shall be selected so as to ensure the following: — sufficient robustness so that the glazing is adequately supported, see 4.2; — appropriate mechanical resistance when correctly designed, see 4.3; — correct durability when used with the appropriate glazing system, see 4.4; — meet specific performance requirements, see 4.5. 5.1.3.2 Material used The frame materials used can be: — timber; — aluminium; — steel; — PVC-U. Other materials or composites (e.g. glass fibre reinforced plastic) are sometimes used. Combinations of two or more materials (e.g. timber and aluminium) are also possible. 5.1.3.3 Requirements The basic frame design, in terms of materials (including preservative), profile design, workmanship, construction, security and safety, weather-tightness, operation and strength performances shall be such that the requirements of the relevant standard(s) on doors, windows and curtain walling are met. When profiles are produced by a system supplier, the frames shall be fabricated from these profiles in accordance with the system supplier's recommendations and conform to the appropriate standard. In order to achieve good contact with glazing materials, rebates and beads shall be smooth, e.g. free from knots and holes in case of timber frame, or residues from cuttings in case of PVC or aluminium, etc. 5.2 Sealants Sealants are gun-applied materials generally used for capping and bedding applications. — The sealants and their application shall comply with EN 15651-2. When necessary, the correct use of primers and/or cleaners to ensure adhesion to frame and glass shall be ensured. — The materials shall be applied and used as specified by the manufacturer. SIST EN 12488:2016
EN 12488:2016 (E) 16 NOTE The type and dimension of the seal can be defined in the national glazing rules. — The party who's bringing all materials together shall ensure that the materials used are compatible, for example: — any components e.g. sealant, joint backing, setting block, interlayer of the laminated glass, outer and inner seal of the insulating glass unit; — certain coatings e.g. self
