Glass in building - Insulating glass units - Part 5: Evaluation of conformity
This European Standard specifies requirements, the evaluation of conformity and the factory production control of insulating glass units for use in buildings.
NOTE 1 For glass products with electrical wiring or connections for e.g. alarm or heating purposes, other directives, e.g. Low Voltage Directive, may apply.
The main intended uses of the insulating glass units are installations in windows, doors, curtain walling, roofs and partitions where there exists protection against direct ultraviolet radiation at the edges.
NOTE 2 In cases where there is no protection against direct ultra-violet radiation at the edges, such as structural sealant glazing systems, additional European technical specifications should be followed (e.g. !EN 15434", !EN 13022-1").
NOTE 3 Units for which the intended use is only ‘artistic’ and therefore no essential requirement is required, are not subject to CE marking and are not part of this European Standard.
Glas im Bauwesen - Mehrscheiben-Isolierglas - Teil 5: Konformitätsbewertung
Diese Europäische Norm legt Anforderungen an sowie die Konformitätsbewertung und die werkseigene Produktionskontrolle für Mehrscheiben Isolierglas zur Verwendung in Gebäuden fest.
ANMERKUNG 1 Für Glasprodukte mit elektrischer Verdrahtung oder elektrischen Anschlüssen, z. B. zu Alarm oder Heizzwecken, gelten möglicherweise weitere Richtlinien, z. B. die Niederspannungsrichtlinie.
Der vorgesehene Hauptverwendungszweck der Mehrscheiben Isoliergläser ist der Einbau in Fenster, Türen, Vorhangfassaden, Dächer und Trennwände, wobei die Ränder des Glases gegen direkte UV Strahlung geschützt sind.
ANMERKUNG 2 Falls die Ränder nicht gegen direkte UV Strahlung geschützt sind, wie z. B. bei geklebten Verglasungen ("Structural Sealant Glazing"-Systeme), sollten zusätzliche Europäische Technische Spezifikationen befolgt werden (z. B. EN 15434, EN 13022-1).
ANMERKUNG 3 Einheiten, die nur für "künstlerische" Zwecke vorgesehen sind und für die daher keine wesentlichen Anforderungen gelten, sind nicht Gegenstand der CE Kennzeichnung und werden von dieser Europäischen Norm nicht erfasst.
Verre dans la construction - Vitrage isolant - Partie 5: Evaluation de la conformité
La présente Norme européenne spécifie des exigences relatives à l'évaluation de la conformité et au contrôle de la production en usine des vitrages isolants utilisés dans la construction.
NOTE 1 Pour les produits verriers équipés d'un câblage ou de branchements électriques pour les besoins d'alarme ou de chauffage, par exemple, d’autres directives, comme par exemple la Directive «Basse(s) Tension(s)», peuvent s’appliquer.
Les usages prévus des vitrages isolants sont principalement les installations dans des fenêtres, portes, murs rideaux, toitures et cloisons offrant une protection des bords contre les rayonnements ultraviolets directs.
NOTE 2 En l’absence de protection contre les rayonnements ultraviolets directs sur les bords, comme par exemple pour les vitrages extérieurs collés, il convient de se conformer à d'autres spécifications techniques européennes (par exemple !EN 15434", !EN 13022-1").
NOTE 3 Les vitrages de nature purement «artistique», et pour lesquels aucune exigence essentielle n’est requise, ne sont pas soumis au marquage CE et ne sont pas couverts par la présente Norme européenne.

NOTE Compliance with this requirement is not possible until a version of !EN 13501-5" later than 2002 becomes available. For classification, consideration shall be given to: a) the following product changes require new type testing on external fire behaviour: - reduction of external fire behaviour of the glass component in the insulating glass unit; b) however when not tested, the insulating glass unit shall be classified by the external fire performance of the glass components used in the insulating glass unit. The classification claimed shall be that of the glass component with least performance. 4.3.2.5 Safety in use - Bullet resistance: shatter properties and resistance to attack Bullet resistance shall be determined and classified in accordance with EN 1063. In those instances when a bullet resistant glass component is used as the non-attack face of an insulating glass unit then there is no need to test. The classification of the insulating glass unit shall be the same as the glass component used. 4.3.2.6 Safety in use - Explosion resistance: shatter properties and resistance to impact Explosion resistance shall be determined and classified in accordance with EN 13541. In those instances when an explosion resistant glass component is used as the non-attack face of an insulating glass unit then there is no need to test. The classification of the insulating glass unit shall be the same as the glass component used. 4.3.2.7 Safety in use - Burglar resistance shatter properties and resistance to attack Burglar resistance shall be determined and classified in accordance with EN 356. In those instances when a burglar resistant glass component is used as the non-attack face of an insulating glass unit then there is no need to test. The classification of the insulating glass unit shall be the same as the glass component used. 4.3.2.8 Safety in use - Pendulum body impact resistance: shatter properties (safe breakability) and resistance to impact Pendulum body impact resistance shall be determined and classified on the glass components in accordance with EN 12600. NOTE EN 12600 tests and classifies individual pane of glass and NOT products such as insulating glass units. As not tested, the insulating glass unit shall be classified the same as the pendulum body impact resistance of the weakest glass component used in the insulating glass unit. !If the identification of the product composition is clear enough to avoid confusion, the performances of each component will be given, in the order given by the mentioned composition."

Care should be taken to place the insulating glass unit in a position corresponding to the expected performances." 4.3.2.9 Safety in use - Mechanical resistance: Resistance against sudden temperature changes and temperature differentials The resistance against sudden temperature changes and temperature differentials is a generally accepted value that is given in the appropriate standards: e.g. EN 1863-1, EN 12150-1, EN 12337-1, EN 13024-1, etc., and shall be ensured by compliance with this European Standard. 4.3.2.10 Safety in use - Mechanical resistance: Resistance against wind, snow, permanent load and/or imposed loads of the glass unit The ordered assemblies of insulating glass units (thickness and types of glass components, cavity width) shall ensure the resistance against wind, snow, permanent load, and other mechanical, (quasi-) static action, which shall be checked in accordance with prEN 13474. As long as on the concerned construction or building site no part of prEN 13474 is applicable, then the current method of determining mechanical resistance in the country of destination shall be applied. The manufactured or supplied thickness of insulating glass shall conform to the ordered thickness and assembly. The edge seal strength determined in accordance with EN 1279-4 is part of the definition of insulating glass units and is not subject for separate information. When additional ultraviolet resistance and/or increased mechanical resistance is required (e.g. where no protection against ultraviolet is applicable, or where insulating glass units are used in structural sealant glazing), the edge seal strength shall be determined in accordance with
!EN 13022-1" using a sealant in accordance with !EN 15434". See Annex A. 4.3.2.11 Direct airborne sound reduction The sound reduction indexes shall be determined in accordance with EN 12758. 4.3.2.12 Energy conservation and heat retention - Thermal properties The thermal transmittance value (U-value) shall be determined by calculation in accordance with EN 673 with: emissivity ε: the declared value of the glass manufacturer. If the information is not available, the emissivity shall be determined in accordance with EN 12898; nominal thickness of the glass panes; nominal thickness of any other material layer, if any; the nominal cavity width; assuming that the panes are parallel; the nominal gas concentration ci,o , or the final gas concentration ci,f (see EN 1279-3). NOTE In the case of gas filled units EN 1279-3 should be consulted in order that the U-value for publication includes all the relevant negative aspects. In those instances when the thermal transmittance value (U-value) cannot be calculated then it shall be determined by testing in accordance with EN 674 or EN 675. 4.3.2.13 Energy conservation and heat retention - Radiation properties: Light transmittance and reflectance The light transmittance and reflectance shall be determined in accordance with EN 410.

The durability of insulating glass units, including their characteristics, shall be insured by the following: compliance with this European Standard; compliance with instructions from the glass product manufacturer or supplier. The manufacturer shall supply specific installation instructions or make reference to appropriate technical specifications, see also Annex B. NOTE The durability of glass products depends on: – building and construction movements due to various actions; – building and construction vibrations due to various actions; – deflection and racking of the glass support due to various actions; – glass support design (e.g. drainage of infiltrated water in the rebate, prevention of direct contact between glass support members and glass); – accuracy of glass support and glass support member dimensions; – quality of the assembling of glass support members up to a glass support; – quality of installation of the glass support into or onto the buildings or constructions; – glass support expansion due to adsorbed moisture from the air or other sources; – the quality of installation of the glass product into or onto its support. 4.5 Dangerous substances Materials used in products shall not release any dangerous substances in excess of the maximum permitted levels specified in a relevant European Standard for the material or permitted in the national regulations of the Member State of destination. 5 Evaluation of conformity 5.1 General Evaluation of conformity in accordance with this document shall be as a result of FPC and ITT in accordance with this European Standard. 1) Factory production control: this shall include, the following: a) inspection of samples taken at the factory in accordance with a prescribed test plan; b) initial inspection of the factory and of factory production control; SIST EN 1279-5:2005+A1:2009
EN 1279-5:2005+A1:2008 (E) 11 c) continuous surveillance and assessment of the factory production control. 2) Initial type testing of the product. NOTE There may be a need to involve a third party, with 1b, 1c, and/or 2, for the purpose of regulatory marking (see Annex ZA). 5.2 Initial type testing of the product (see 5.1, 2)) 5.2.1 General All the product’s characteristics shall be initial type tested to verify they are in conformity with the requirements of this European Standard. In addition instead of performing any actual testing, initial type testing may make use of: generally accepted and/or conventional and/or standardised values, in the Clause 2 referenced standards, or in publications that are referred to in these standards; standardised calculation methods and recognised calculation methods in Clause 2 referenced standards, or in publications that are referred to in these standards; test report(s) on the basis of 5.2.3 when made available; where components are used whose characteristics have already been determined, by the component manufacturer, on the basis of conformity with other product standards, these characteristics need not be reassessed providing they remain unchanged by the manufacturing process; release of dangerous substances may be assessed indirectly by controlling the content of the substance concerned; durability may be assessed indirectly by controlling the production processes according to this European Standard. NOTE 1 Products CE marked in accordance with appropriate harmonised European specifications may be presumed to have the performances stated with the CE marking. NOTE 2 There may be a need to involve a third party for the purpose of regulatory marking (see Annex ZA). When actual testing is required then the Initial Type Testing (ITT) shall be undertaken on a sample representative of the product taken from direct production or a prototype, any plant and/ or line. Whenever a change occurs in the raw material or the production process (subject to the definition of the family), which would change significantly one or more of the characteristics, the type tests shall be repeated for the appropriate characteristics. 5.2.2 Multiple lines/sites If a manufacturer operates one and/or more lines and/or sites, the following can reduce the requirement for multiple Initial Type Testing (ITT): a) the manufacturers’ technical file for a product shall specifically cover all sites and/or lines of the same manufacturer1; b) the manufacturer shall establish a direct relationship between production control, initial type testing and on-going internal audit testing;
