General Information
Frequently Asked Questions
ISO/TC 160/SC 2/WG 1 is a Subcommittee within the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). It is named "Design strength of glazing". This committee has published 5 standards.
ISO/TC 160/SC 2/WG 1 develops ISO standards. Currently, there are 5 published standards from this subcommittee.
The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) is an independent, non-governmental international organization that develops and publishes international standards. Founded in 1947 and headquartered in Geneva, Switzerland, ISO brings together experts from 170+ member countries to share knowledge and develop voluntary, consensus-based standards that support innovation and provide solutions to global challenges.
A Subcommittee (SC) in ISO operates under a Technical Committee and focuses on a specific subset of the TC's scope. Subcommittees develop standards and technical specifications in their specialized area, reporting to their parent Technical Committee. They may also have working groups for detailed technical work.
ISO 1288-3:2016 specifies a method for determining the bending strength, including the effects of the edges, of flat glass for use in building. The method specified can also be used to determine the bending strength of the edges of glass separately. The limitations of this part of ISO 1288 are described in ISO 1288‑1.

ISO 1288-1:2016 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 part of ISO 1288. ISO 1288-1:2016 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. ISO 1288‑2, ISO 1288‑3, ISO 1288‑4 and ISO 1288‑5 specify test methods in detail. The test methods specified in this part of ISO 1288 are intended to provide large numbers of bending strength values that can be used as the basis for statistical evaluation of glass strength.

ISO 1288-4:2016 specifies a method for determining the bending strength (defined as the profile bending strength) of wired or unwired channel shaped glass for use in buildings. The limitations of this part of ISO 1288 are described in ISO 1288‑1.

ISO 1288-5:2016 specifies a method for determining the comparative bending strength of glass for use in buildings, excluding the effects of the edges. See ISO 1288‑1, 5.1.4 for an explanation as to why this test method should only be used for comparing the strength of types of glass and not for assessing strength for design purposes. The limitations of this part of ISO 1288 are described in ISO 1288‑1. ISO 1288‑1 should be read in conjunction with this part of ISO 1288. This test method is not suitable for patterned glass.
