Scope

This European Standard specifies the method to be used to verify the mechanical performance of bonded glazing for doors, windows and curtain walling (see examples in Annex A) and its durability.
NOTE 1 Bonded glazing formerly known as structural sealant glazing SSGS.
Bonded glazing can be incorporated into the product as follows:
- either vertically; or
- up to 83° from the vertical (positive slope); or
- up to 15° from the vertical onto the building face (negative slope).
NOTE 2 A wall has a positive slope if its outer surface faces upwards.
NOTE 3 Specific additional safety provisions may nationally apply.
It gives information to the manufacturer to comply with requirements regarding design, factory production control and assembly rules.
The parts concerned in the testing are the metal profile (anodized and coated aluminium, stainless steel), the glass coated or not which shall be bonded, the bonding sealant and mechanical restraints when required.
The testing does not apply to other framing materials.
This standard does not apply to glass-to-glass bonding and insulating glass units.
