GOST 30826-2014 PDF

Full title and description

GOST 30826-2014 — "Laminated glass. Specifications." This national (GOST) standard establishes technical requirements, acceptance rules, marking, packaging, storage and test methods for laminated (safety) glass used in building and construction applications.

Abstract

This standard specifies characteristics, classification and quality requirements for laminated glass, including mechanical, optical and safety properties, inspection and testing procedures, marking and handling. It is intended to ensure consistent performance and safety of laminated glass products used in architecture, façades, interior partitions and other building applications.

General information

• Status: In force (replaces GOST 30826-2001).
• Publication date: Published / enacted 1 April 2016 (designated as GOST 30826-2014).
• Publisher: Federal Agency for Technical Regulation and Metrology (Rosstandart) — national technical regulator responsible for approval.
• ICS / categories: 81.040.30 — Glass and glass products; building glass and related test methods.
• Edition / version: GOST 30826-2014 (current edition adopted and published in 2016; replaces the 2001 edition).
• Number of pages: 34 pages (typical published text length).

Scope

The standard applies to laminated glass intended for use in buildings and structures. It covers definition of laminated glass types, required characteristics (mechanical strength, optical transmittance, safety classes), inspection and acceptance criteria, required testing methods (impact, penetration, optical measurements and other relevant tests), marking, packaging, transportation and storage rules. The scope excludes non-laminated glass types and focuses on multilayer products that include interlayers (for example PVB or other polymer interlayers) used for safety, acoustic or ballistic resistance as specified by product class.

Key topics and requirements

• Definitions and classification of laminated glass by construction, interlayer type and protection/safety class.
• Required physical and mechanical characteristics: dimensional tolerances, thickness ranges, bending and impact resistance criteria.
• Optical properties and measurement methods (light transmittance and reflection requirements and test procedures).
• Acceptance, sampling and inspection rules for production lots and delivered products.
• Specified test methods for impact, ball-drop and other safety-related performance tests (references to GOST test-methods series).
• Marking, labeling, packaging, storage and transportation requirements to preserve product quality and traceability.
• References to related standards for tempered glass, insulating units, measurement methods and terms/definitions used across the glass product family.

Typical use and users

Primary users include laminated glass manufacturers, QA/QC and testing laboratories, façade and window system manufacturers, architects and specifiers, glazing contractors, building product certifiers and regulatory authorities. The standard is used to set product specifications for procurement, to develop internal quality-control procedures, and to verify compliance during type testing and acceptance of delivered glazing items.

Related standards

GOST 30826-2014 replaces GOST 30826-2001 and references several other GOST standards in the glass product family, for example standards for tempered glass, insulating glass units, terminology, acceptance rules, marking and specific test methods (examples include standards from the GOST 30xxx and 32xxx series covering tempered glass, test methods for impact and optical measurements, and rules for marking/packaging).
