scope:
This standard specifies a test method, performance requirements and classification for explosion pressure resistant glazing for use in buildings. The explosion pressure resistant glazing is intended to offer resistance against explosive with respect to human safety. This standard concerns a method of test against blast waves generated using a shock tube or similar facility to simulate a high explosive detonation. The classification is only valid for the tested glass sizes of about 1 m². Based on theoretical considerations and/or experimental work, the results can be used for estimating the explosions pressure resistance of other glass sizes.
