Glass in building - Determination of the bending strength of glass - Part 1: Fundamentals of testing glass
This standard specifies the determination of the bending strength of monolithic glass for use in buildings. The testing of insulating units or laminated glass is excluded from this standard. This standard describes: - considerations to be taken into account when testing glass, - explanations of the reasons for designing different test methods, - limitations of the test methods, and gives pointers to safety requirements for the personnel operating the test equipment.
Glas im Bauwesen - Bestimmung der Biegefestigkeit von Glas - Teil 1: Grundlagen
Diese Europäische Norm stellt zur Bestimmung der Biegefestigkeit von monolithischem Glas im Bauwesen fest. Zur Prüfung von Mehrscheiben-Isolierglas oder Verbundglas ist diese Norm nicht anwendbar. Diese Norm beschreibt: a) Überlegungen, die bei der Prüfung von Glas zu berücksichtigen sind; b) Erläuterungen der Gründe für die Erarbeitung verschiedener Prüfverfahren; c) Grenzen der Prüfverfahren; und gibt Hinweise zu Sicherheitsvorschriften für das mit der Prüfeinrichtung arbeitende Personal.
Verre dans la construction - Détermination de la résistance du verre a la flexion - Partie 1: Principes fondamentaux des essais sur le verre
Cette Norme Européenne est appliquée pour déterminer la résistance à la flexion du verre monolithique utilisé dans les bâtiments. Les essais sur vitrages isolants ou verres feuilletés sont exclus de cette norme. Cette norme décrit: - les éléments à prendre en considération lors des essais sur le verre, - justifications des différentes méthodes d'essai, - les limitations des méthodes d'essai, et donne des conseils de sécurité pour le personnel qui mène ces essais.

Overview
EN 1288-1:2000 - Glass in building: Determination of the bending strength of glass - Part 1: Fundamentals of testing glass (CEN) defines the fundamental principles for assessing the bending strength of monolithic glass used in buildings. It sets the scope for what is covered (monolithic glass) and what is excluded (insulating glass units and laminated glass), and provides guidance on how to approach mechanical testing in a safe, consistent and technically informed manner.
Key topics
The standard focuses on the foundational aspects of glass bending-strength testing, including:
- Scope and definitions related to monolithic glass testing and exclusions.
- Considerations for testing, such as specimen handling, environmental conditioning and test set-up principles that influence bending-strength measurements.
- Rationale for different test methods, explaining why multiple methods exist and when one approach may be preferred over another.
- Limitations of test methods, outlining factors that affect result interpretation and the applicability of test outcomes to real-world design.
- Safety guidance for personnel, offering pointers on safe operation of test equipment and risk considerations for laboratory staff.
These topics help laboratories and designers understand the theory and practical constraints behind bending tests rather than prescribing a single prescriptive procedure.
Applications
EN 1288-1 is primarily used as a reference for:
- Establishing a consistent technical basis for glass bending-strength testing during product development and quality control.
- Interpreting test results in the context of design and safety assessments for building façades, windows and structural glass elements.
- Informing test laboratories about appropriate precautions and the conceptual choices behind method selection.
- Guiding procurement and specification writers who need to reference reliable test fundamentals in contracts and technical documentation.
Keywords: EN 1288-1, bending strength, glass testing, monolithic glass, glass in building, CEN standard, glass testing fundamentals.
Who uses this standard
- Test laboratories and materials testing engineers
- Glass manufacturers and product developers
- Façade and structural glass designers and engineers
- Architects and specification writers
- Building regulators and safety officers
Related standards
EN 1288-1 is the foundational part of the EN 1288 series. Other parts of the EN 1288 suite address specific bending test procedures and detailed test methods. Users often consult EN 1288-1 alongside those method-specific parts and other CEN standards covering glazing safety and performance to form a complete testing and compliance strategy.
