What is BS EN 12150-2 - Thermally toughened soda lime silicate safety glass about?

BS EN 12150-2 is a European standard that discusses the evaluation conformity and the factory production control of thermally toughened soda lime silicate safety glass. BS EN 12150-2 covers the evaluation of conformity and the factory production control of flat thermally toughened soda lime silicate safety glass 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.

Who is BS EN 12150-2 - Thermally toughened soda lime silicate safety glass for?

BS EN 12150-2 on thermally toughened soda lime silicate safety glass - evaluation of conformity is useful for:

Glass manufacturers
Silicate glass manufacturers
Quality control personnel
Designers
Construction industries
Building safety and control bodies
Installers
Safety regulatory bodies

Why should you use BS EN 12150-2 - Thermally toughened soda lime silicate safety glass?

Soda lime glass is susceptible to shock and does not handle extreme changes in heat. Untreated soda-lime glass is far more likely than the others to break on your building. It is also more susceptible to breaking from thermal shock (sudden or extreme changes in temperature),

Requirements for the evaluation of conformity and the factory production control are included in BS EN 12150-2 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 thermally toughened soda lime silicate safety glass in use, their production and installation are intended to be controlled in accordance with BS EN 12150-2.

In conclusion, the guidance given in BS EN 12150-2 helps you to gain a better understanding of thermally toughened soda lime silicate safety glass to use in the building. This can help you to incorporate thermally toughened soda lime silicate safety glass more effectively in your construction projects.
