This standard applies to all basic types of edge supported vertical and sloping glazing systems, in all types of fixed or opening frames used in buildings and also specifies the functions, requirements and installation of glazing blocks within a frame during its manufacturing, transportation, installation and operational life. The standard applies to glazing blocks used for all types of flat or curved glass, as well as to derived processed types of glass. For certain glass products, such as fire resistant glazing, security glass, other or additional requirements, rules or recommendations may apply. The standard is applicable to European climate conditions.
