Overview
EN 1288-2:2000 - "Glass in building - Determination of bending strength of glass - Part 2: Coaxial double ring test on flat specimens with large test surface areas" (CEN) specifies a laboratory method to determine the bending (flexural) strength of glass used in buildings. The standard covers testing flat glass specimens using a coaxial double ring test arrangement and is intended to evaluate specimen strength while excluding edge effects. Limitations and complementary guidance are provided in prEN 1288-1, which should be read in conjunction with this part.
Key topics and requirements
- Test method: Uses a coaxial double ring setup on flat specimens with large test surface areas to measure bending strength.
- Scope limitation: The method intentionally excludes effects caused by glass edges, focusing on centre-area behaviour.
- Specimen considerations: Applies to flat glass specimens with sufficiently large loaded areas - geometry and surface area requirements are defined in the standard.
- Repeatability and comparability: Provides a standardized procedure to obtain comparable bending strength results across laboratories and manufacturers.
- Documentation and interpretation: Requires recording of test conditions and results so data can be used for material assessment, quality control and comparison.
- Normative references: prEN 1288-1 outlines limitations and complementary requirements and should be used together with EN 1288-2.
Applications
- Quality control and batch testing by glass manufacturers and processors.
- Mechanical property verification for architectural and structural glass components such as curtain walls, large-format glazing, balustrades and storefronts.
- Product development and material selection where centre-area flexural behaviour is critical.
- Independent testing labs and certification bodies assessing conformance with building material performance requirements.
- Structural engineers and façade designers using bending strength data to inform safety margins and design calculations.
Who uses this standard
- Glass manufacturers and converters (to certify product strength).
- Accredited testing laboratories (to perform standardized bending tests).
- Architects, structural and façade engineers (to validate material properties).
- Certification bodies and regulatory agencies involved in building product approval.
