Today, in the construction industry, flat or curved glass panels, flat or processed glass, laminated or safety glass is produced in many different types and construction glass for different uses.
For the European Union countries, these products must comply with the standards in accordance with the directives 2000 / 245 / EC. According to the said regulation, the verification of the conformity of construction products includes flat glass, profiled glass and glass block products.
Glass products are tested and approved by the competent authorities for their intended use. These tests include safety, thermal and sound insulation, durability, fire safety, theft protection, and bullet or explosion protection tests.
In this way, product durability, reliability and safety are proven. Authorized organizations also assist manufacturers in their CE regulation and marking.
The following are some of the standards based on glass fire resistance tests performed by the competent authorities:
TS EN 15998: 2010 Glass - Used in buildings - Safety during fire, fire resistance - Methodology for testing glass for classification purposes
TS 13478 Glass - used in buildings - Code of practice for fire, safety and wind load
TS EN 13541 Glass - Used in buildings - Safety glass systems - Bursting pressure test and classification
TS EN 673 Glass - Used in buildings - Determination of thermal transmittance (U value) - Calculation method
TS EN 674 Glass - Used in buildings - Determination of thermal transmittance (U value) - Enclosed hot plate method
TS EN 675 Glass - Used in buildings - Thermal conductivity (U value) determination - Heat flow meter method
TS EN 1363 Fire resistance tests
TS EN 13501 Construction products and building elements - Fire classification
The application is received, the contract and then the product, vehicle and vehicles for which, what kind of service is determined exactly.
The necessary laboratory environment is prepared and the products, tools and instruments requested by the organization are tested by experts with the reference of the existing standards and measurements are made.
The data obtained as a result of meticulously completed tests, measurements and analyzes are evaluated and accredited approved reports are submitted by expert engineers.
