Safety recommendations for vertical use of glass and plastics glazing sheet materials in locations likely to be subject to accidental human impact.

This British Standard, a part of the BS 6262 series, provides safety recommendations for the vertical use of glass and plastics glazing sheet materials in locations likely to be subject to accidental human impact.
