Glass in building - Thermally toughened borosilicate safety glass - Part 1: Definition and description

Scope

This document specifies tolerances, flatness, edgework, fragmentation and physical and mechanical characteristics of monolithic flat thermally toughened borosilicate safety glass for use in buildings.
This standard deals exclusively with thermally toughened borosilicate safety glass manufactured by the horizontal toughening process.
Other requirements, not specified in this document, can apply to thermally toughened borosilicate safety glass which is incorporated into assemblies, e.g. laminated glass or insulating glass units, or undergo an additional treatment, e.g. coating. The additional requirements are specified in the appropriate product standard. Thermally toughened borosilicate safety glass, in this case, does not lose its mechanical or thermal characteristics and its resistance to temperature differentials.
Surface finished glasses (e.g. sandblasted, acid etched) after toughening are not covered by this document.
