What is BS EN 1863-2 - Conformity evaluation of silicate glass about?
BS EN 1863-2 is a European Standard that is the second part of the Glass in the building - Heat strengthened soda lime silicate glass. BS EN 1863-2 covers the evaluation of conformity and the factory production control of flat heat strengthened soda lime silicate glass 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 1863-2 - Conformity evaluation of silicate glass for?
BS EN 1863-2 on Conformity evaluation of silicate glass is useful for:
- Soda Lime Silicate Glass Manufacturers
- Glass Technologists
- Architects and Interior Designers
- Building Constructors and Engineers
- Regulators of Glass in building
Why should you use BS EN 1863-2 - Conformity evaluation of silicate glass?
Soda-lime silicate glass is known for its excellent properties including durability, heat resistance and more. Tempering gives it more features like more thermal shock resistance making it at least three times stronger. It has mechanical properties like strength. It can also be softened and can act as a electric insulator. It also transmits a visible light and has a wide range of industrial applications in architecture and construction.
BS EN 1863-2 gives you all the technical information about soda-lime silicate glass which is the most produced glass and helps its users to manufacture a chemically stable and cost-effective silicate glass. It also contains other aspects of the importance of trade, as conformity evaluation builds credibility and helps the customers make better purchase decisions.
BS EN 1863-2 guidelines can help comply with the best industry standards that inform the customers about the best in class practices that are followed. It also brings uniformity to the glass in buildings. Thus helping in ensuring high performance of heat strengthened soda lime silicate glass.
