Overview

SIST EN 572-4:2012 is a European standard published by CEN that specifies the dimensional and minimum quality requirements for drawn sheet glass used in building applications. This standard applies to basic soda lime silicate glass products supplied in rectangular panes and stock sizes. It focuses on key quality parameters such as thickness tolerances, optical and visual faults, and panel dimensions to ensure consistent product performance and reliability in construction.

The standard provides important definitions, measurement methods, acceptance levels for faults, and guidelines for designation and stock sizes. It is essential for glass manufacturers, suppliers, and construction professionals involved in specifying or using drawn sheet glass.

Key Topics

  • Dimensional Requirements

    • Specified thickness tolerances based on nominal thickness ranging from 2 mm to 12 mm
    • Length and width tolerances of ±5 mm for rectangular panes
    • Squareness limits determined by maximum allowable difference between diagonal lengths
  • Quality Requirements

    • Classification of glass faults into optical faults (distortions) and visual faults (spots, gaseous inclusions, linear defects)
    • Defined methods for detecting and measuring faults, including reticulated screen observations for optical faults and standardized lighting conditions for visual faults
    • Acceptance criteria with specific size and concentration thresholds for gaseous inclusions, solid inclusions, and extended faults
  • Types of Drawn Sheet Glass Covered

    • New antique drawn sheet glass with intentional surface phenomena
    • Drawn sheet glass for renovation, replicating historic defect characteristics
    • Standard drawn sheet glass for general building use
  • Designation and Identification

    • Clear guidance on product description including type, standard reference, tint, thickness, and dimensions
    • Facilitates clear communication between manufacturers, suppliers, and end-users

Applications

SIST EN 572-4:2012 applies directly to drawn sheet glass products used in various building and construction contexts, including:

  • Railings, Partitions, and Facades: Where precise glass dimensions and optical clarity are critical
  • Renovation of Historic Buildings: Using drawn sheet glass for renovation replicates traditional glass appearance with controlled fault levels
  • Interior Architectural Design: For decorative glass applications that require controlled visual effects such as antique or patterned finishes
  • Stock Supply Chains: Standardized stock sizes simplify inventory management and project planning

This standard ensures that glass used in these applications meets stringent performance, durability, and aesthetic requirements, reducing installation risks and guaranteeing compliance with EU building codes.

Related Standards

  • EN 572-1:2012 – Definitions and general physical and mechanical properties of basic soda lime silicate glass products
  • EN 572-8 – Details on special or non-stock glass sizes beyond the scope of EN 572-4
  • Additional parts in the EN 572 series covering different types of glass products for building such as float glass (Part 2), polished wired glass (Part 3), patterned glass (Part 5), and conformity evaluation (Part 9)

By adhering to SIST EN 572-4:2012 and related EN 572 series standards, glass manufacturers and construction professionals can ensure high-quality, compatible, and standardized glass products suitable for modern and renovation building projects.
