This part of this European Standard specifies dimensional and minimum quality requirements (in respect of optical and visual faults) for basic soda lime silicate glass products, as defined in EN 572-1, for use in building. It applies to supplied sizes or cut sizes for final end use.
This part of this European Standard does not apply to final cut sizes having a dimension less than 100 mm or a surface area less than 0,05m2.
This part of this European Standard does not apply to float glass supplied as jumbo or split sizes, see EN 572-2, or to polished wired glass, drawn sheet glass, patterned glass and patterned wired glass supplied as stock sizes, see EN 572-3, EN 572-4, EN 572-5 and EN 572-6.
This part of this European Standard does not apply to final cut sizes of wired or unwired channel shaped glass, see EN 572-7.

This Part of this European Standard specifies dimensional and minimum quality requirements (in respect of visual and pattern faults) for patterned glass as defined in EN 572-1, for use in building.
This Part of this standard applies only to patterned glass supplied in rectangular panes and in stock sizes.
EN 572-8 gives information on patterned glass in sizes other than those covered by this Part.

This Part of this European Standard specifies and classifies basic glass products, indicates their chemical composition, their main physical and mechanical characteristics and defines their general quality criteria.
Specific dimensions and dimensional tolerances, description of faults, quality limits and designation for each basic product type are not included in this Part, but are given in other Parts of this standard specific to each product type:
EN 572-2   Float glass
EN 572-3   Polished wire glass
EN 572-4   Drawn sheet glass
EN 572-5   Patterned glass
EN 572-6   Wired patterned glass
EN 572-7   Wired or unwired channel shaped glass
EN 572-8   Supplied and final cut sizes
EN 572-9   Evaluation of conformity/Product standard

TThis Part of this European Standard specifies dimensional and minimum quality requirements (in respect of optical and visual faults) for drawn sheet glass, as defined in EN 572-1, for use in building.
This Part of this standard applies only to drawn sheet glass supplied in rectangular panes and in stock sizes.
EN 572-8 gives information on drawn sheet glass in sizes other than those covered by this Part.

This European Standard specifies tolerances, flatness, edgework, fragmentation and physical and mechanical characteristics of monolithic flat thermally toughened borosilicate safety glass for use in buildings.
Information on curved thermally toughened borosilicate safety glass is given in annex B, but this product does not form part of this standard.
Other requirements, not specified in this standard, may apply to thermally toughened borosilicate 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.  Thermally toughened borosilicate safety glass, in this case, does not lose its mechanical or thermal characteristics.

Changed from ENQ+FV to UAP (CC/011211)

This European Standard assigns sound insulation values to all transparent, translucent and opaque glass products, described in European Standards on basic or processed glass products, when intended to be used in glazed assemblies in buildings, and which exhibit properties of acoustic protection, either as a prime intention or as a supplementary characteristic.
This document outlines the procedure, by which glass products may be rated, according to their acoustic performance which enables assessment of compliance with the acoustic requirements of buildings.
Rigorous technical analysis of measurement data remains an option, but this standard is intended to enable the derivation of simpler indices of performance, which can be adopted with confidence by non-specialists.
By adopting the principles of this standard, the formulation of acoustic requirements in Building Codes, and of product specification to satisfy particular needs for glazing is simplified.
It is recognised that the acoustic test procedures of EN ISO 140-1 and EN ISO 140-3 relate fully only to glass panes and their combinations. Although the same principles should be followed as closely as possible, it is inevitable that some compromises are necessary, because of the bulkier construction of other glazing types.
Guidelines on how to adapt these to include glass blocks, bricks, structural glazing, channel-shaped glass and pavers are offered in clause 4.
NOTE   Performance variation in windows.
All the considerations of this standard relate to glass alone. Incorporation of them into windows may cause changes in acoustic performance, owing to other influences, including frame design, frame material, mounting method, air tightness, etc. Measurements of the sound insulation of complete windows (glass and frame) may be undertaken to resolve such issues.
