Overview
EN 1288-4:2000 (CEN) - "Glass in building - Determination of the bending strength of glass - Part 4: Testing of channel shaped glass" specifies a laboratory method to determine the bending strength (expressed as profile bending strength) of wired or unwired channel shaped glass intended for use in buildings. The standard is part of the EN 1288 series and must be read together with prEN 1288-1, which describes the series’ general limitations and guidance.
Key topics and requirements
- Scope and applicability: Defines the purpose of the test method for channel shaped glass used in building applications and clarifies its limits as referenced in prEN 1288-1.
- Test objective: Determination of the profile bending strength of wired and unwired channel shaped glass specimens.
- Specimen types: Applies to channel shaped (profile) glass sections; both wired and unwired variants are covered.
- Methodology emphasis: Provides a standardized laboratory procedure to produce comparable bending-strength results for quality assessment and design input.
- Conformity linkage: Intended for use in conformity assessment, product development and safety evaluation within the context of glass used in construction.
(Note: EN 1288-4:2000 defines the method and terms - consult prEN 1288-1 for limitations, conditioning, and additional series-wide requirements.)
Applications and users
This standard is practical for professionals involved with structural and architectural glass where channel shaped profiles are used:
- Glass manufacturers and fabricators - to verify product performance and for quality control of channel shaped glass.
- Test laboratories - to carry out standardized bending-strength testing and produce reproducible results.
- Structural engineers and façade designers - to obtain bending-strength data for design and safety checks.
- Building specifiers and compliance officers - to reference in procurement specifications and regulatory conformity demonstrations.
- Research and development teams - to compare materials, construction methods, or reinforcement (wired vs unwired).
Related standards
- prEN 1288-1 - read in conjunction with EN 1288-4:2000 for series-wide limitations and general guidance.
- EN 1288 series - EN 1288-4 is one part of the broader CEN collection addressing bending strength testing of glass in buildings.
