Bodyside windows of rolling stocks in railways are necessary to provide passengers safety while trains running at the highest permissible speeds and a reasonable level of comfort during the ride.
ISO 22752 provides the requirement for bodyside windows with arrangements of window glazing unit or window unit.
ISO 22752 informs you about the glass to be used on the window so as to increase its mechanical strength and to condition its fragmentation after shatter.
The technical specification is provided in ISO 22752 for a window design to ensure no sharp edges are exposed (accessible) in order to avoid injury to personnel and passengers.
Furthermore, ISO 22752 lets you manufacture the products according to the requirements mentioned in the document to check the quality and durability of windows and the safety of all the passengers.
