EN 1279-5: Glass in building - Insulating glass units - Part 5: Product standard

Standard: EN 1279-5: Glass in building - Insulating glass units - Part 5: Product standard

 Certification: CE Marking

Insulating glass units should meet the requirements as described in the standard EN 1279-5, which is a harmonized standard under the Construction Products Regulation (EU) 305/2011.

Scope: This European Standard covers the product standard of insulating glass units (IGU) for use in buildings.

Units for which the intended use is only artistic and therefore no essential characteristics are required, are not subject to CE marking and are not part of this standard.

NOTE: For glass products with electrical wiring or connections for, e.g. alarm or heating purposes, other directives, e.g. Low Voltage Directive, may apply.
