Glass in building - Determination of the bending strength of glass - Part 5: Coaxial double ring test on flat specimens with small test surface areas
This standard specifies a method for determining the comparative bending stength of glass for use in buildings, excluding the effects of the edges. Note: See 5.1.4 in prEN 1288-1:1997 for an explanation as to why this test method should only be used for comparing the strength of types of glass, and not for assessing strength for design purposes. The limitations of this standard are described in prEN 1288-1. prEN 1288-1 should be read in conjunction with this standard. This test is not suitable for patterned glass.
Glas im Bauwesen - Bestimmung der Biegefestigkeit von Glas - Teil 5: Doppelring-Biegeversuch an plattenförmigen Proben mit kleinen Prüfflächen
Diese Norm legt ein Verfahren zur vergleichenden Bestimmung der Biegefestigkeit von Glas im Bauwesen unter Ausschluß von Randeinflüssen fest. Anmerkung: Siehe 5.1.4 von prEN 1288-1:1997 zur Erklärung, warum dieses Prüfverfahren nur für vergleichende Festigkeitsprüfungen verschiedener Glasarten, aber nicht zur Bestimmung der Biegefestigkeit f~ur Bemessungen verwendet werden sollte. Die Grenzen der Anwendbarkeit dieser Norm sind in prEN 1288-1 beschrieben. prEN 1288-1 sollte in Verbindung mit dieser Norm gelesen werden. Diese Prüfung ist nicht auf Ornamentglas anwendbar.
Verre dans la construction - Détermination de la résistance du verre à la flexion - Partie 5: Essais avec doubles anneaux concentriques sur éprouvettes planes, avec de petites surfaces de sollicitation
La présente norme spécifie une méthode de détermination de la résistance à la flexion du verre utilisé dans le bâtiment, en excluant les effets de bord. Note: Voir 5.1.4 du prEN 1288-1:1997 pour une explication concernant cette méthode d'essais. Il convient d'utiliser celle-ci pour comparer la résistance des différents types de verre, et non pour établir la résistance de calcul. Les limitations de cette norme sont décrites dans le prEN 1288-1. Il y a lieu de lire le prEN 1288-1 conjointement avec la présente norme. Cet essai n'est pas applicable pour les verres imprimés.

Overview
EN 1288-5:2000 (CEN) defines a laboratory method for determining the comparative bending strength of flat glass used in buildings. The standard specifies the coaxial double ring test (concentric double-ring loading) on flat specimens with small test surface areas, and is intended to compare material types while intentionally excluding edge effects. This method is explicitly not suitable for patterned glass and - per prEN 1288‑1 - should be used for comparative testing only, not for deriving design strength values.
Key topics and requirements
- Test method: Uses a coaxial (concentric) double ring loading arrangement on flat specimens to induce bending over a limited, defined area.
- Scope limitations: The procedure excludes the influence of specimen edges; results are comparative rather than directly applicable to structural design.
- Specimen type: Flat glass samples with small test surface areas; patterned glass is excluded.
- Comparative focus: Results are intended to compare the bending behavior of different glasses or manufacturing processes, not to determine allowable design stresses.
- Reference to prEN 1288‑1: Users must consult prEN 1288‑1 for explanations of limitations, interpretation guidance and any referenced definitions or sampling rules.
- Standard identification: CEN publication EN 1288-5:2000 (sometimes referenced together with national adoptions such as SIST EN 1288-5:2001).
Applications and users
Who uses EN 1288-5:
- Material testing laboratories performing comparative strength evaluations of glass products.
- Glass manufacturers for quality control, process development and product comparison.
- R&D teams comparing new compositions, thermal treatments or tempering processes.
- Specifiers and procurement professionals who need standardized comparative data to choose between glass types.
- Standards and compliance engineers verifying that test procedures follow the EN 1288 series.
Practical uses:
- Comparative ranking of bending strength between glass types or batches.
- Verification of production consistency and process changes.
- R&D screening of new glass formulations or heat-treatment regimes.
