BS EN 14178-2 is a European standard that discusses the evaluation conformity and the factory production control of basic alkaline earth silicate glass products.
BS EN 14178-2 covers the evaluation of conformity and the factory production control of basic alkaline earth silicate glass products for use in buildings.
Note: For glass products with electrical wiring or connections for, e.g., alarm or heating purposes, other directives, e.g., Low Voltage Directive, may apply.
BS EN 14178-2 on glass in building - basic alkaline earth silicate glass products is useful for:
Basic alkaline earth silicate glass products are non-crystalline, often transparent amorphous solid, that has widespread practical, technological, and decorative use in building.
BS EN 14178-2 provides guidance on product description, details of system modifications, and recommendations for basic alkaline earth silicate glass products, as well as installation of basic alkaline earth silicate glass products in the building.
Requirements for the evaluation of conformity and the factory production control are included in BS EN 14178-2 for the ability of a product to maintain its required performance over time, under the influence of foreseeable actions. To ensure the full performance of basic alkaline earth silicate glass products in use, their production and installation are intended to be controlled in accordance with BS EN 14178-2.
In conclusion, the guidance given in BS EN 14178-2 helps you to gain a better understanding of basic alkaline earth silicate glass products to use in the building. This can help you to incorporate basic alkaline earth silicate glass products more effectively in your construction projects.
