Non-diffusing, heat-resistant glass in front of quartz lamps to protect subjects from flying glass should the lamp shatter
Refers to glass that greatly reduces the potential for injury.
A TEMPERED AND STRENGTHENED GLASS THAT IS LESS LIKELY TO BREAK INTO JAGGED PIECES WHEN IMPACTED ON; INSTEAD, IT IS MORE LIKELY TO BREAK INTO SMALLER, NON-SHARP EDGED PIECES UNDER THOSE CONDITIONS.
glass made with plates of plastic or resin or other material between two sheets of glass to prevent shattering
Toughened safety glass is stronger than normal glass and if it breaks, it shatters into particles rather than sharp splinters to avoid injury.
A general term used for either laminated or tempered glass. Only glass which has been laminated, however, can specifically be called laminated safety glass.
Glass which is treated or manufactured into a form that reduces the likelihood of cutting and piercing injury to persons by the glass should it be broken by human contact. These are the manufactured glass types which satisfy the requirements of AS/NZS 2208 for safety glazing. Laminated and Toughened safety glass are rated Grade A. Wired glass is rated Grade B.
Glass which is prevented from fragmenting and injuring people, due to the fact that the two panes of glass have a strong plastic film between them so that, if the glass breaks, the fragments will adhere to the plastic.
Glass which must have passed an impact test (BS 6206: 1981) and either must not break or must break safely.
Glass resistant to penetration by impact, or constrained from projecting shards of glass when fractured. Examples are laminated, wire, tempered, and chemically hardened
specific type of glass having the ability to withstand breaking into large jagged pieces, usually tempered and laminated.
A strengthened or reinforced glass that is less subject to breakage or splintering and less likely to cause injury if broken. Law requires glass in doors to be some type of safety glazing product, such as tempered or laminated glass.
Glass which when broken, shatters into small pieces without sharp edges.
Glass less prone to breakage and designed to break in a manner less conducive to personal injury, such as tempered, laminated, or Georgian Polished Wire (GPW).
Glass which has been treated using processes, such as laminating or tempering, that should result in reduced risk of injury when broken.
