Glass, Safety Glazing Material and Guardrail Systems

Testing of Glass Quality and Safety performance of glazing materials are done on Laminated, Tempered…ets glazing materials by using the modern technique and equipment, tests are carried out to evaluate the quality and prescribe the minimum safety performance characteristics of safety glazing material (glazing materials designed to promote safety and reduce the likelihood of cutting and piercing injuries when they are broken by human contact) and according to certain requirements they are tested and classified in accordance with the latest international European, Australian and American standards as follow:

• Flat Glass Dimensional Tests Thickness, Squareness, Length and Width, ANSI Z97.1 – 2015 & ASTM C1036
