Impact
Manufacturers of glass must ensure that they have demonstrated, through Initial Type Testing, that their glass conforms to the relevant characteristics defined in each of the specific glass product standards for CE Marking. If a manufacturer wishes to declare an impact performance, testing must be conducted in accordance with BS EN 12600:2002. This allows a classification to be given to the glass product which can be listed on the Declaration of Performance for CE Marking.

Fragmentation
In most cases, manufacturers of glass must demonstrate, through Initial Type Testing, that their glass conforms to the relevant characteristics defined in each of the specific glass product standards for CE Marking.

This is done partly via a test to ensure that the fragmentation breakage conforms with criteria outlined in the relevant glass product standards including BS EN 12150-1:2000 – Thermally toughened glass, BS EN 1863-1:2000 – Heat strengthened glass, and BS EN 14179-1:2005 – Heat soaked glass.

Four-Point Bend (Bending Strength)
As with fragmentation testing, manufacturers of glass must demonstrate, through Initial Type Testing, that their glass conforms to the minimum mechanical strength defined in each of the specific glass product standards for CE Marking.

The glass is tested in accordance with BS EN 1288-3:2000 as specified in each of the relevant glass product standards
