Glass in Building - Insulating Glass Units - Part 4: Methods of test for the physical attributes of edge seal components and inserts prEN 1279-4 rev

Scope

This document specifies the requirements and describes the test methods for edge seal components and inserts. This includes the identification, the determination of physical attributes and the evaluation of characteristics for use in substitution rules in accordance with EN 1279-1:xxxx.
For the purpose to demonstrate that edge seal components will allow the insulating glass unit to conform to the requirements given in EN 1279-1:xxxx, Clause 6, EN 1279-2:xxxx and EN 1279-3:xxxx also apply.
In cases where there is no protection against direct ultraviolet radiation or permanent shear load on the edge seal, as in bonded glazing for doors, windows and curtain walling systems, it is essential to follow additional European standards (see EN 15434-1, EN 13022 1 and EN 16759).
