Glass in building - Heat soaked thermally toughened soda lime silicate safety glass - Part 1: Definition and description EN 14179-1:2016

Publication date:   Nov 15, 2016

Scope

This European Standard specifies the heat soak process system together with tolerances, flatness, edgework, fragmentation and physical and mechanical characteristics of monolithic flat heat soaked thermally toughened soda lime silicate safety glass for use in buildings.
Curved heat soaked thermally toughened soda lime silicate safety glass is not part of this European Standard.
Other requirements, not specified in this European Standard, can apply to heat soaked thermally toughened soda lime silicate 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. Heat soaked thermally toughened soda lime silicate safety glass, in this case, does not lose its bending strength characteristics and its resistance to temperature differentials.
Surface finished glasses (e.g. sandblasted, acid etched) after toughening are not covered by this European Standard.
