BS EN 15434:2006 Glass in building - Product standard for structural and/or ultraviolet resistant sealant (for use with structural sealant glazing and/or insulating glass units with exposed seals)
This European Standard covers the evaluation of conformity and the factory production control of
sealant for the intrinsic capabilities when intended to apply for:
? manufacturing of insulating glass units where ultra-violet resistance and/or mechanical resistance
(structural use) of the insulating glass edge seal is required:
? required level of resistance to UV exposure will depend on the degree of exposure to UV
radiation with or without protection;
? when the outer seal of the insulating glass has a structural function and/or is exposed to
the UV radiation without any protection, only silicone based sealants are permitted;
? when the outer seal of the insulating glass has no structural function and is protected
from direct exposure to UV radiation, organic and silicone based sealants are permitted;
? manufacturing of factory made structural sealant glazing elements when referred to by the
relevant European Standards and ETAGs.
Only silicone based sealants are permitted;
? assembling of glass products into or onto supports, where also ultra-violet resistance and/or
mechanical resistance (structural use) of the seal is required under controlled environmental
conditions as described in Clause 5 of EN 13022–2:2006.
Only silicone based sealants are permitted.
This European Standard also specifies requirements concerning seals and bonds of sealant in
conformity with this European Standard.
? When bonding of sealant to a non-glass substrate is tested, the substrate, which means the
material, its treatment and its preparations for bonding, as applied or to be applied on the work is
used in testing (coating of coated glass is considered as a non-glass substrate).
This European Standard contains other aspects of importance of trade.
