BS 6262-6:2005

Glazing for buildings. Code of practice for special applications | Status: Confirmed, Current

1 Scope This part of BS 6262 gives information and recommendations for vertical glazing in the external walls and interiors of buildings, with respect to:

1. a) structural sealant glazing;
2. b) bolt fixed structural glazing;
3. c) frameless doors and entrances;
4. d) mirrors.
5. e) Bolt fixed structural glazing with countersunk holes is not specifically covered.

NOTE some guidance is also given on non-vertical use of mirrors.

These recommendations do not apply to:

1. 1) patent glazing (see BS 5516‑1);
2. 2) glass in non-vertical applications (see BS 5516‑2);
3. 3) glazing for furniture and fittings (see BS 7376 and BS 7449);
4. 4) glazing for commercial greenhouses (see BS 5502‑21);
5. 5) glazing for domestic greenhouses.

Requirements for standards of workmanship for the application of sealants have been published separately as BS s000-16, and therefore this subject is not dealt with in this standard.
