What is BS EN 1748-1-2 - Borosilicate glasses - Evaluation of conformity about?
BS EN 1748-1-2 is a European standard that discusses the evaluation conformity and the factory production control of borosilicate glass products.
BS EN 1748-1-2 covers the evaluation of conformity and the factory production control of borosilicate glass products for use in buildings.
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.
Who is BS EN 1748-1-2 - Borosilicate glasses - Evaluation of conformity for?
BS EN 1748-1-2 on borosilicate glasses - evaluation of conformity is useful for:
- Glass manufacturers
- Borosilicate glasses and products manufacturers
- Quality control personnel
- Designers
- Construction industries
- Building safety and control bodies
- Installers
- Safety regulatory bodies
Why should you use BS EN 1748-1-2 - Borosilicate glasses - Evaluation of conformity?
Borosilicate glasses is popular as a base material to use in building construction, mainly because of the material's chemical and thermal stability.
Requirements for the evaluation of conformity and the factory production control are included in BS EN 1748-1-2 for the ability of a product to maintain its required performance over time, under the influence of foreseeable actions. To ensure the full performance of borosilicate
glass products in use, their production, and installation are intended to be controlled in accordance with BS EN 1748-1-2.
BS EN 1748-1-2 provides guidance on product description, details of Characteristics of borosilicate glasses, Evaluation of conformity, and recommendations for borosilicate glass products, as well as installation of borosilicate glass products in the building.
In conclusion, the guidance given in BS EN 1748-1-2 helps you to gain a better understanding of borosilicate glass products to use in the building. This can help you to incorporate borosilicate glass products more effectively in your construction projects.
