EN 14179-2: Glass in building - Heat soaked thermally toughened soda lime silicate safety glass - Part 2: Evaluation of conformity/Product standard

Standard: EN 14179-2: Glass in building - Heat soaked thermally toughened soda lime silicate safety glass - Part 2: Evaluation of conformity/Product standard

Certification: CE Marking

Heat soaked thermally toughened soda lime silicate safety glass should meet the requirements as described in the standard EN 14179-2, which is a harmonized standard under the Construction Products Regulation (EU) 305/2011.

Scope: This European Standard specifies requirements, the evaluation of conformity and the factory production control of flat heat soaked thermally toughened soda lime silicate safety glass for use in buildings.

Products shall conform to the definition and fulfil the requirements of heat soaked thermally toughened soda lime silicate safety glass as defined in EN 14179-1.

Note: For glass products with electrical wiring or connections for, e.g. alarm or heating purposes, other directives, e.g. Low Voltage Directive, may apply.

Product description

For conformity purposes the heat soaked thermally toughened glass manufacturer is responsible for the preparation and maintenance of the product description. This description shall describe the product and/or product families.

Disclosure of the product description shall be at the discretion of the heat soaked thermally toughened glass manufacturer or his agent except in the case of regulatory requirements. The description shall contain at least a normative part.

The description may also contain an informative part, when the manufacturer foresees further development of the product.

The normative part of the description shall contain the following minimum information:

• a reference to EN 14179 Parts 1 and 2 and all other standards with which the manufacturer claims compliance;

• the radiometric properties and durability of coated glass, i.e. coated glass that conforms with EN 1096-1, EN 1096-2, EN 1096-3, when those properties are changed, intentionally or unintentionally, by the thermal toughening and heat soaking process.

The definition of product families shall be consistent with the normative part of the product description.

The substitution of materials shall maintain the conformity with the product description. The substituting material can be added to the product family and also the product description when compliance has been demonstrated.
