Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out
through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical
committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International
organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.
ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of
electrotechnical standardization.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular the different approval criteria needed for the
different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www.iso.org/directives).
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. Details of
any patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in the Introduction and/or
on the ISO list of patent declarations received (see www.iso.org/patents).
Any trade name used in this document is information given for the convenience of users and does not
constitute an endorsement.
For an explanation on the meaning of ISO specific terms and expressions related to conformity assessment,
as well as information about ISO’s adherence to the World Trade Organization (WTO) principles in the
Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) see the following URL: www.iso.org/iso/foreword.html.
The committee responsible for this document is ISO/TC 22, Road vehicles, Subcommittee SC 35, Lighting
and visibility.
This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition (ISO 3536:1999), which has been technically
revised.

INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO 3536:2016(E)
Road vehicles — Safety glazing materials — Vocabulary
1 Scope
This International Standard defines terms relating to safety glazing materials for road vehicles.
2 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply.
2.1
safety glazing material
glazing material consisting of organic and/or inorganic materials so constructed or treated to minimize
the likelihood of injury to persons as a result of contact with these safety glazing materials when used
in a vehicle and which complies with specified requirements for visibility, strength, and durability
2.2
toughened safety glass
glazing material consisting of a single layer of glass which has been subjected to special thermal or
chemical treatment to increase its mechanical strength and to condition its fragmentation after shatter
2.3
laminated safety glass
glazing material consisting of two or more layers of glass held together by one or more interlayers (2.4)
Note 1 to entry: The following two types are recognized:
— ordinary: when none of the layers of glass, of which it is composed, has been treated, i.e. normal annealed glass;
— treated: when at least one of the layers of glass, of which it is composed, is toughened safety glass (2.2) or glass
which has been treated in any controlled process in order to give it increased resistance to mechanical and
thermal stress.
2.4
interlayer
plastic material designed to be used to permanently bond together the component layers of laminated
safety glass (2.3)
2.5
glass-plastic glazing material
glazing material which may comprise one layer of glass and one or more layers of plastic in which a
plastic surface faces inward towards the vehicle passenger compartment when installed in the vehicle
2.6
plastic safety glazing material
safety glazing material (2.1) that contains, as an essential ingredient, one or more layers of organic
polymeric substances
Note 1 to entry: The following two types are recognized:
— rigid plastic: organic polymeric material which maintains its structural stiffness over the intended use range;
— flexible plastic: organic polyme
