This document (FprCEN/TS 19100-1:2021) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 250

“Structural Euro-codes”, the secretariat of which is held by BSI. CEN/TC 250 is responsible for all

Structural Eurocodes and has been assigned responsibility for structural and geotechnical design matters

This document has been prepared under Mandate M/515 issued to CEN by the European Commission

This document has been drafted to be used in conjunction with relevant execution, material, product and

test standards, and to identify requirements for execution, materials, products and testing that are relied

The Structural Eurocodes comprise the following standards generally consisting of a number of Parts:

The Eurocodes are intended for use by designers, clients, manufacturers, constructors, relevant

authorities (in exercising their duties in accordance with national or international regulations),

educators, software developers, and committees drafting standards for related product, testing and

NOTE Some aspects of design are most appropriately specified by relevant authorities or, where not specified,

can be agreed on a project-specific basis between relevant parties such as designers and clients. The Eurocodes

identify such aspects making explicit reference to relevant authorities and relevant parties.

FprCEN/TS 19100 applies to the structural design of mechanically supported glass components and

assemblies of glass components. It complies with the principles and requirements for the safety and

serviceability of structures, the basis of their design and verification that are given in EN 1990, Basis of

FprCEN/TS 19100-1 applies to the structural design of mechanically supported glass components and

assemblies of glass components according FprCEN/TS 19100-2 and FprCEN/TS 19100-3.

The verb “shall" expresses a requirement strictly to be followed and from which no deviation is permitted

The verb “should” expresses a highly recommended choice or course of action. Subject to national

regulation and/or any relevant contractual provisions, alternative approaches could be used/adopted

The verb “may" expresses a course of action permissible within the limits of the Eurocodes.

The verb “can" expresses possibility and capability; it is used for statements of fact and clarification of

FprCEN/TS 19100-1 gives values within notes indicating where national choices can be made. Therefore,

a national document implementing FprCEN/TS 19100-1 can have a National Annex containing all

Nationally Determined Parameters to be used for the assessment of buildings and civil engineering works

When not given in the National Annex, the national choice will be the default choice specified in the

When no choice is given in the Technical Specification, in the National Annex, or by a relevant authority,

National choice is allowed in FprCEN/TS 19100-1 on the application of the following informative

Annex B Bending strength resistance based on intrinsic glass strength and glass surface pre-stress

Annex C Thermally induced stress caused by temperature differentials in the glass pane

The National Annex can contain, directly or by reference, non-contradictory complementary information

for ease of implementation, provided it does not alter any provisions of the Eurocodes.

(1) FprCEN/TS 19100-1 gives basic design rules for mechanically supported glass components. This

document is concerned with the requirements for resistance, serviceability, fracture characteristics and

glass component failure consequences in relation to human safety, robustness, redundancy and

(2) This document covers the basis of design, materials, durability and structural design.

(3) This document also covers construction rules for the structural design of glass components.

(2) This document is intended to be used in conjunction with EN 1990, EN 1991 (all parts), EN 1993-1-1,

size of opening, offers residual resistance and reduces the risk of cutting or piercing injuries (see
