This European Standard gives the principles of determining the load resistance of glass. It gives
- the general method of calculation, and
- determination of load resistance by testing for any application.
This European Standard does not determine suitability for purpose. Resistance to applied loads is only one part of the design process, which may also need to take into account
- environmental factors (e.g. sound insulation, thermal properties),
- safety characteristics (e.g. fire performance, breakage characteristics in relation to human safety, security).
