Evaluation of conformity of“Thermally toughened soda lime silicate safety glass” to hE N 12150-24.3.2.6 Safety in use – Burglar resistance:Shatter properties and resistance toattack (6)Burglar resistance shall be determined andclassified in accordance with EN 356.4.3.2.7 Safety in use – Pendulum body impactresistance: Shatter properties (safebreakability) and resistance to impact (7)Pendulum body impact resistance shall bedetermined and classified in accordance withEN 12600.4.3.2.8 Safety in use – Mechanical resistance:Resistance against sudden temperaturechanges and temperature differentials (8)The resistance against sudden temperaturechanges and temperature differentials isa generally accepted value that is givenin EN 12150-1 and shall be ensured bycompliance with this standard.4.3.2.9 Safety in use – Mechanical resistance:Resistance against wind, snow,permanent load and/or imposed loads ofthe glass unit (9)The mechanical strength of thermallytoughened soda lime silicate safety glassis a characteristic value that is given inEN 12150-1 and is ensured by compliancewith this standard.As long as on the concerned constructionor building site no part of prEN 13474is applicable then the current method ofdetermining mechanical resistance in thecountry of destination shall be applied.The manufactured or supplied thickness ofthermally toughened soda lime silicate safetyglass shall conform to the ordered thickness.Thermally toughened soda lime silicate safetyglass would not be expected to pass this testmethod.NPD is the appropriate information for theCE Marking label/accompanying information.If a manufacturer wants to make a performanceclaim then the thermally toughened sodalime silicate safety glass shall be tested toEN 12600.Classification should be 1(C)Φ, where Φ isdependent upon product thickness/type.EN 12150-1: Clause 9.3 gives a generallyaccepted value of 200 K.EN 12150-1 gives values for the mechanicalstrength of thermally toughened soda limesilicate safety glass as follows:Float: clear )tinted ) -- 120N/mm 2coated )Enamelled float -- 75N/mm 2(based on enamelled surface in tension)Patterned glass andSheet glass -- 90N/mm 2Note: The characteristic bending strength has tobe used in conjunction with the design methodgiven in prEN 13474 1Supplying what was ordered, in terms ofthickness, will cover this characteristic.131prEN 13474: This standard is being drafted. It will consist of the following three parts:- determination by calculation of the resistance to load of glass used in fenestration;- determination by calculation of the resistance to load of glass used in common non-structural applications otherthan fenestration;- general basis of design.
