Glass in building - Insulating glass units - Part 5: Product standard
This document covers the product standard of insulating glass units (IGU) for use in buildings.
Units for which the intended use is only artistic and therefore no essential characteristics are required, are not subject to CE marking and are not part of this standard.
NOTE For glass products with electrical wiring or connections for, e.g. alarm or heating purposes, other directives, e.g. Low Voltage Directive, may apply.
Glas im Bauwesen - Mehrscheiben-Isolierglas - Teil 5: Produktnorm
Dieses Dokument enthält die Produktnorm für Mehrscheiben Isolierglas (MIG) zur Verwendung in Gebäuden.
ANMERKUNG 1 Einheiten, die nur für "künstlerische" Zwecke vorgesehen sind und für die daher keine wesentlichen Anforderungen gelten, sind nicht Gegenstand der CE Kennzeichnung und werden von dieser Norm nicht erfasst.
ANMERKUNG 2 Für Glasprodukte mit elektrischer Verdrahtung oder elektrischen Anschlüssen, z. B. zu Alarm oder Heizzwecken, gelten möglicherweise weitere Richtlinien, z. B. die Niederspannungsrichtlinie.
Verre dans la construction - Vitrage isolant - Partie 5: Norme de produit
Le présent document couvre les exigences relatives à l'évaluation de la conformité et au contrôle de la production en usine des vitrages isolants utilisés dans la construction.
NOTE 1 Les vitrages à vocation purement « artistique », et pour lesquels aucune exigence essentielle n'est requise, ne sont pas soumis au marquage CE et ne sont pas couverts par la présente norme.
NOTE 2 Pour les produits verriers équipés d'un câblage ou de branchements électriques pour des besoins d'alarme ou de chauffage par exemple, d'autres directives, comme par exemple la Directive « Basse tension », peuvent s'appliquer.
Steklo v gradbeništvu - Izolacijsko steklo - 5. del: Standard za proizvod
Ta evropski standard zajema vrednotenje skladnosti in kontrolo tovarniške proizvodnje izolacijskega stekla (IGU), ki se uporablja v stavbah.
OPOMBA 1 Za steklene proizvode z električno napeljavo ali priključki za npr. alarmne ali grelne namene se lahko uporabljajo druge direktive, npr. direktiva o nizki napetosti.
OPOMBA 2 Steklo, ki je predvideno za »umetniške namene« in posledično zanj ne veljajo osnovne zahteve, ni predmet pridobitve oznake CE in ni del tega standarda.

Overview
EN 1279-5:2018 - Glass in building – Insulating glass units (IGU) - Part 5: Product standard is the CEN product specification for insulating glass units used in buildings. It defines what manufacturers must document and declare for IGUs, the requirements for product description, marking and labelling, and the data to appear in the Declaration of Performance (DoP) required by the Construction Products Regulation (Regulation (EU) No. 305/2011). Units intended only for artistic use are excluded (no CE marking). Note: IGUs with electrical wiring may be subject to other directives (e.g. Low Voltage Directive).
Key topics and requirements
- Scope and exclusions - Covers IGU product characteristics for building use; artistic-only units excluded; electrical connections may invoke other directives.
- Product description & product type - Requirements for documenting representative product types, product families and parameters (materials, edge seals, gas fills, dimensions).
- Essential characteristics to declare in the DoP - Includes spectrophotometric data (e.g. solar factor g), thermal performance (U‑value), durability/conformity and mechanical resistance (characteristic bending strength of glass components).
- Type testing (TT) and test reports - Procedures for establishing performance through tests or validated calculation methods; rules for use of other parties’ TT results.
- Assessment and Verification of Constancy of Performance (AVCP) - Defines systems and tasks, including Factory Production Control (FPC), initial inspection and continuous surveillance.
- Edge seal and gas filling considerations - Annexes address edge seal attributes, the effect of gas filling on thermal and sound insulation, and gas leakage requirements (linked to Parts 2–4).
- Installation guidance and safety - Informative annexes cover installation best practices, supports, UV protection of seals and prevention of frictional movement.
- Marking & labelling - Rules for product marking to support CE marking and traceability.
Practical applications and users
- Manufacturers of insulating glass units preparing the Declaration of Performance and implementing FPC to achieve CE marking.
- Test laboratories and notified bodies conducting type testing and AVCP tasks.
- Façade engineers, architects, specifiers and contractors using IGU product data for thermal performance, solar control and mechanical safety.
- Certification bodies and regulators applying the Construction Products Regulation and assessing conformity.
- Suppliers of bonded/structural sealant glazing systems - EN 1279-5 includes provisions relevant to bonded glazing (structural sealant glazing).
Related standards
- EN 1279 parts 1–4 and 6 (system description, long‑term tests, edge seal tests, factory production control)
- EN 410 (solar/luminous characteristics), EN 673 (U‑value), EN 13022‑1 (structural sealant glazing) and other relevant EN test standards referenced in EN 1279-5:2018.
