(Amendment)Glass in building - Thermally toughened soda lime silicate safety glass - Part 1: Definition and description
Glass in building - Thermally toughened soda lime silicate safety glass - Part 1: Definition and description
This European Standard specifies tolerances, flatness, edgework, fragmentation and physical and mechanical characteristics of monolithic flat thermally toughened soda lime silicate safety glass for use in buildings.
Information on curved thermally toughened soda lime silicate safety glass is given in Annex A, but this product does not form part of this European Standard.
Other requirements, not specified in this European Standard, can apply to thermally toughened soda lime silicate safety glass which is incorporated into assemblies, e.g. laminated glass or insulating glass units, or undergo an additional treatment, e.g. coating. The additional requirements are specified in the appropriate glass product standard. Thermally toughened soda lime silicate safety glass, in this case, does not lose its bending strength characteristics and its resistance to temperature differentials.
Surface finished glasses (e.g. sandblasted, acid etched) after toughening are not covered by this European Standard.

Overview
SIST EN 12150-1:2015/kprA1:2017 defines the specifications for monolithic flat thermally toughened soda lime silicate safety glass intended for use in buildings. As a European Standard, it sets out the core requirements for tolerances, flatness, edgework, fragmentation, and physical and mechanical properties. Glass products addressed under this standard are essential for ensuring safety and performance in various architectural applications. The document is produced by the Slovenian Institute for Standardization (SIST) and is harmonized with EN 12150-1:2015, including its amendment A1:2017.
Key Topics
This standard emphasizes key technical aspects for glass in building, focusing on:
- Tolerances: Dimensional specifications that guarantee the glass fits within designed building structures.
- Flatness: Requirements for how planar the glass surface must be, minimizing distortions.
- Edgework: Criteria for edge processing to enhance safety, quality, and durability.
- Fragmentation: Descriptions and test methods for ensuring glass fragments safely when broken.
- Physical and Mechanical Properties: Specifications for the mechanical strength and durability of thermally toughened glass.
It’s important to note that:
- Only monolithic flat glass is fully covered by this standard.
- Requirements for curved glass are addressed in Annex A, but not included in the main scope.
- Laminated, coated, or insulating glass units using thermally toughened glass must meet additional requirements from their respective product standards.
Applications
Thermally toughened soda lime silicate safety glass, as defined in SIST EN 12150-1, is widely used for:
- Architectural Glazing: Windows, curtain walls, façade cladding, and exterior doors where safety, durability, and resistance to impacts and temperature changes are vital.
- Interior Building Elements: Partitions, balustrades, and shower enclosures where glass breakage safety is required.
- Public and Commercial Buildings: Ensuring enhanced safety performance in high-traffic environments.
This standard is especially relevant for manufacturers, designers, and engineers seeking to meet building safety codes in Europe, particularly those involving the use of toughened safety glass. It does not cover post-toughening surface finishes such as sandblasting or acid etching.
Related Standards
For comprehensive coverage of glass products in construction, consult these related standards:
- EN 12150-2: Provides evaluation of conformity and test methods for thermally toughened soda lime silicate safety glass.
- EN 14449: Addresses laminated glass and laminated safety glass requirements.
- EN 1279 series: Covers insulating glass units for building applications.
- EN 1863: Specifies requirements for heat-strengthened soda lime silicate glass used in buildings.
Manufacturers and specifiers should ensure compatibility and compliance with the applicable glass standards, especially where additional fabrication or assembly (such as laminating or coating) is involved.
SIST EN 12150-1:2015/kprA1:2017 ensures safety and reliability for glass components in building projects across Europe by defining clear requirements for thermally toughened glass characteristics. Adopting these guidelines supports improved performance, compliance, and safety in construction and architectural applications.
