Safety
Glass laminated with a UVEKOL® interlayer at the appropriate thickness will result in safety glass. On impact, the glass fragments will adhere to the interlayer, significantly reducing the risk of serious injury.
| EN 12600 (European Safety Standard) |
 |
UVEKOL® S and UVEKOL® A laminates pass the pendulum safety test as specified by the European norm EN 12600, in which the glass is impacted by 50 kg tires. |

UVEKOL® S laminates
(2.7 mm glass/ 0.31" UVEKOL® S/2.7
mm glass) were tested at Intertek Testing Services, NY,
and found in compliance with the American National Standard:
“Safety Performance Specifications and Methods of
Tests for Safety Glazing Materials used in Buildings”
as well as CPSC 16 CFR 1201 Category I and II. |

Overhead
Glazing (Germany)
Überkopf Z-70.3-30 with Residual Load Resistance |
 |
UVEKOL® S/OHG laminated glass was tested according to the German DIB regulations for overhead glazing, and received approval under Überkopf Z-70.3-30 with Residual Load Resistance.
To pass DIB’s tests, UVEKOL S/OHG laminates were impacted according to EN356 A1/P2, and had to withstand a snow load of 100 kg per m2 and be capable of supporting their own weight at 50°C for a minimum of 48 hours after being impacted. A range of four glass compositions made with UVEKOL S/OHG have been tested for spans up to 1200 mm. |
