Certifications and Standards
National, regional and local building codes/standards
The evolution of building construction has led to the development of codes and standards that mandate structurally sound, energy-efficient and environmentally conscious buildings. Many of these codes and standards apply directly to glazing components and should be thoroughly investigated prior to design finalization. A few of the applicable standards include:
- Annealed Glass – JIS R3202:2011
- Soft coating on glass – EN 1096
- Glass Tempering – EN 12150
- Heat Strengthened Glass – EN 1863
- DGU – EN 1279
- Lamination of Glass – EN 12543
- Acoustic Values – EN ISO 717 -1
- Heat Soaking – EN 14179
