DIN EN 1279-5:2010

Glass in building - Insulating glass units - Part 5: Evaluation of conformity; German version EN 1279-5:2005+A2:2010 (Foreign Standard)

This European Standard specifies requirements, the evaluation of conformity and the factory production control of insulating glass units for use in buildings. NOTE 1 For glass products with electrical wiring or connections for e. g. alarm or heating purposes, other directives, e. g. Low Voltage Directive, may apply. The main intended uses of the insulating glass units are installations in windows, doors, curtain walling, roofs and partitions where there exists protection against direct ultraviolet radiation at the edges. NOTE 2 In cases where there is no protection against direct ultra-violet radiation at the edges, such as structural sealant glazing systems, additional European technical specifications should be followed (e. g. EN 15434, EN 13022-1). NOTE 3 Units for which theintended use is only artistic and therefore no essential requirement is required, are not subject to CE marking and are not part of this European Standard.*This standard contains the 2005 version including Amendment 1 and Amendment 2. Among others, additions have been made to - Clause 4.3.2.8 "Safety in use - Pendulum body impact resistance: shatter properties (safe breakability) and resistance to impact", - Clause 5.2 "Initial type testing of the product". Tables 2 and 3 regarding the seal performance have been replaced by new tables. Furthermore a new normative Annex A "Rules for the use of 'other party' ITT results" has been included; it has been inserted after Clause 6 and before the existing informative Annex A "Use of IGU's when subjected to UV and/or in SGG". As a result, the numeration of the existing annexes has changed. In Annex ZA the web address has been updated among others, the caption for the first column has been changed from "notified body" to "notified test laboratory" and a reference to the new Annex A has been included. The standard has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 129 "Glass in Building", the secretariat of which is held by NBN (Belgium). At DIN, the German Institute for Standardization e. V., the responsible committee which has been appointed as Mirror Committee to CEN/TC 129 is Working Committee NA 005-09-88 AA "Mehrscheiben-Isolierglas" ("Insulating glass units") of the Building and Civil Engineering Standards Committee (NABau).
