This document has been prepared under a mandate given to CEN by the European Commission and the European Free Trade Association, and supports essential requirements of EU Directive(s). For relationship with EU Directive(s), see informative Annex ZA, which is an integral part of this document. This Part of the European Standard does not stand-alone, it is part of one standard with the general title Glass in building - Insulating glass units: Part 1: Generalities, dimensional tolerances and rules for the system description Part 2: Long term test method and requirements for moisture penetration Part 3: Long term test method and requirements for gas leakage rate and for gas concentration tolerances Part 4: Methods of test for the physical attributes of edge seals Part 5: Evaluation of conformity Part 6: Factory production control and periodic tests This European Standard contains other aspects of importance of trade. This European Standard includes a Bibliography. According to the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organizations of the following countries are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and United Kingdom.

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. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document.
