It only applies to glass where the acid etching is the final process.
This document does not apply to glass where further processing (e.g. heat treatment) has taken place after the surface finish has been applied. In such cases, reference will be made to the relevant product standard for the process.
This standard does not apply to products primarily intended for artistic purposes.
