Glass in building - Chemically strengthened soda lime silicate glass - Part 1: Definition and description
This European standard covers tolerances, flatness, edge work, fragmentation and physical and mechanical characteristics of monolithic flat chemically strengthened soda lime silicate glass for use in buildings. Bent chemically strengthened soda lime silicate glass is mentioned, but this product is not part of this standard. Chemically strenghtened soda lime silicate glass can be incorporated into assemblies, e.g. laminated glass or insulating units, or undergo an additional treatment, e.g. coating, etc and will therefore also comply with the requirements of the appropriate finished product standard.
Glas im Bauwesen - Chemisch vorgespanntes Kalknatronglas - Teil 1: Definition und Beschreibung
Diese Europäische Norm legt Grenzabmaße, Ebenheit, Kantenbearbeitung, Bruchverhalten sowie physikalische und mechanische Eigenschaften von chemisch vorgespanntem Flachglas für die Verwendung im Bauwesen fest. Informationen zu gebogenem, chemisch vorgespanntem Glas enthält der Anhang B, diese Produkte sind jedoch nicht Gegenstand dieser Norm.
Verre dans la construction - Verre de silicate sodo-calcique renforcé chimiquement - Partie 1: Définition et description
La présente norme européenne spécifie les tolérances, la planéité, la finition des chants, la fragmentation et les caractéristiques physiques et mécaniques du verre plat renforcé chimiquement destiné à être utilisé dans la construction. Des renseignements sont donnés dans l'annexe B sur le verre incurvé ou profilé renforcé chimiquement mais ce produit ne fait pas partie de la présente norme.

Overview
EN 12337-1:2000 - Glass in building: Chemically strengthened soda lime silicate glass - Part 1: Definition and description (CEN) defines the scope, terminology and basic product description for monolithic flat chemically strengthened soda lime silicate glass used in building applications. The standard sets out how this type of chemically strengthened glass is described and delimits what is and is not covered (for example, bent chemically strengthened glass is mentioned but not covered by this Part 1). It also clarifies that chemically strengthened glass may be incorporated into assemblies (e.g. laminated glass or insulating units) or receive additional treatments (coatings) and must then meet the relevant finished-product standards.
Key topics and requirements
This Part 1 focuses on definition and descriptive requirements rather than full test procedures. Important technical topics covered include:
- Product definition and scope for chemically strengthened soda lime silicate glass
- Tolerances for dimensions and thickness of monolithic flat glass
- Flatness criteria and acceptable deviations for optical and installation quality
- Edge work descriptions and acceptable edge finishing for strengthened glass
- Fragmentation characteristics and how breakage behavior is described for chemically strengthened glass
- Physical and mechanical characteristics that describe expected performance attributes of the material
Note: The standard describes the required characteristics and tolerances; specific test methods and finished-product compliance are governed by the appropriate product standards when the glass is assembled or further treated.
Applications
EN 12337-1 is relevant wherever chemically strengthened soda lime silicate glass is specified for building use:
- Architectural façades and structural glazing where higher surface compressive stress and improved scratch resistance are required
- Interior partitions, balustrades and doors that require controlled breakage behavior
- Supply of flat chemically strengthened glass intended for conversion into laminated units, insulating glass units (IGUs), or coated products
Who uses this standard
- Glass manufacturers producing chemically strengthened soda lime silicate glass
- Architects and façade engineers specifying glass performance and tolerances
- Glazing contractors and fabricators converting, edging or assembling glass into finished products
- Test laboratories and conformity assessors verifying descriptive and dimensional requirements
- Product certifiers and building authorities referencing standardized definitions and product descriptions
Related standards
For assemblies and finished products (laminated glass, insulating units, coated glass), users should consult the applicable finished-product standards and relevant testing standards to ensure full compliance when chemically strengthened glass is incorporated into building assemblies.
Keywords: EN 12337-1:2000, chemically strengthened glass, soda lime silicate, glass in building, tolerances, flatness, fragmentation, edge work, mechanical characteristics.
