Bonded Glazing for doors, windows and curtain walling - Verification of mechanical performance of bonding on aluminium and steel surfaces

This document specifies the method to be used to verify the mechanical performance of the bonded glazing for doors, windows and curtain walling (see examples in Annex A) and its durability. The bonding covered is only that between the glass and the untreated, treated or coated metal surface.
NOTE 1   Bonded glazing was formerly known as structural sealant glazing SSGS.
This document covers bonded glazing incorporated into the product construction works 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 (see Figure A.1).
Specific additional safety provisions may apply nationally.
This document 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 surface (anodized and coated aluminium, stainless steel), the surface of glass, provided or not, with a layer or coating, which shall be bonded, the bonding sealant and mechanical restraints when required.
This document does not apply to:
-   other surfaces materials;
-   direct glazing;
-   glass-to-glass bonding and edge seal of insulating glass units (which are covered by EN 13022-1 and EN 1279-5);
-   adhesive tapes.

Geklebte Glaskonstruktionen für Türen, Fenster und Vorhangfassaden - Überprüfung der mechanischen Leistungseigenschaften der Verklebung auf Aluminium- und Stahloberflächen

Dieses Dokument legt das anzuwendende Verfahren zum Nachweis der mechanischen Leistungseigenschaften der geklebten Glaskonstruktionen für Türen, Fenster und Vorhangfassaden (siehe Beispiele in Anhang A) und deren Dauerhaftigkeit fest. Es werden nur die Verklebungen zwischen dem Glas und der unbehandelten, vorbehandelten oder beschichteten Metalloberfläche erfasst.
ANMERKUNG 1 Geklebte Glaskonstruktionen wurden vorher als Structural-Sealant-Glazing-System (SSGS) bezeichnet.
Dieses Dokument behandelt geklebte Glaskonstruktionen, die wie folgt im Bauwerksprodukt eingebaut sind:
- entweder vertikal angeordnet; oder
- bis zu 83° von der Vertikalen (positive Neigung); oder
- bis zu 15° von der Vertikalen auf der Gebäudefassade (negative Neigung).
ANMERKUNG 2 Eine Wand weist eine positive Neigung auf, wenn ihre Außenfläche nach oben zeigt (siehe Bild A.1).
Auf nationaler Ebene gelten möglicherweise zusätzliche spezifische Sicherheitsbestimmungen.
Dieses Dokument liefert dem Hersteller Angaben zur Übereinstimmung mit Anforderungen bezüglich Aus¬führung, werkseigener Produktionskontrolle und Verglasungsvorschriften.
Die von der Prüfung betroffenen Teile sind die Metalloberflächen (anodisiertes und beschichtetes Aluminium, nichtrostender Stahl), mit oder ohne Beschichtung versehene Glasoberflächen, die geklebt sein müssen, der Klebedicht¬stoff und mechanische Halterungen, falls erforderlich.
Dieses Dokument ist nicht anzuwenden für:
- andere Oberflächenmaterialien;
- geklebte Verglasung/Direktverglasung;
- den Glas/Glas-Verbund und Randverbund von Mehrscheiben-Isolierglaseinheiten (welche durch EN 13022 1 und EN 1279 5 behandelt werden);
- Klebebänder.

Vitrages extérieurs collés (VEC) pour portes, fenêtres et façades rideaux - Vérification des propriétés mécaniques de collage sur surfaces aluminium et acier

Le présent document spécifie la méthode à utiliser pour vérifier les performances mécaniques des vitrages extérieurs collés pour portes, fenêtres et façades rideaux (voir exemples à l’Annexe A) ainsi que leur durabilité. La présente norme ne traite que du collage entre le verre et la surface métallique non traitée, traitée ou revêtue.
NOTE 1 Le vitrage collé était auparavant connu sous le nom de vitrage structurel d'étanchéité SSGS
Le présent document couvre les vitrages collés intégrés de l’une des manières suivantes dans les travaux de construction réalisés :
 Soit verticalement ; ou
 inclinés jusqu’à 83° par rapport à la verticale (pente positive) ; ou
 inclinés jusqu’à 15° par rapport à la verticale sur la façade du bâtiment (pente négative).
NOTE 2 Une façade a une pente positive si sa surface extérieure est orientée vers le haut (voir Figure A.1).
Des dispositions de sécurité supplémentaires spécifiques peuvent s'appliquer au niveau national.
Le présent document fournit des informations au fabricant lui permettant de satisfaire aux exigences relatives à la conception, au contrôle de la production en usine et aux règles d’assemblage.
Les parties concernées par les essais sont les surfaces métalliques (aluminium anodisé et thermolaqué, acier inoxydable), la surface du verre, pourvue ou non d'une couche ou d'un revêtement, qui doit être collé, le mastic de collage et les dispositifs de retenue mécanique, le cas échéant.
Le présent document ne s’applique pas :
- aux autres matériaux de surface ;
- au vitrage direct « direct glazing » ;
- au collage verre sur verre ni aux assemblages par collage des vitrages isolants (qui sont couverts par l’EN 13022-1 et l’EN 1279-5) ;
- aux bandes adhesives.
