Scope: This Singapore Standard specifies requirements for aluminium framed sliding glass doors for general purposes. It includes aluminium framed sliding folding glass doors. It does not include heavy-duty non-residential sliding doors such as those used in garage, showrooms and movable shop-fronts. It also does not include sliding doors containing panels which exceed 1500 mm in width or 3000 mm in height. Full-height framed sliding and sliding-folding glass panels at the perimeter of a building are not within this standard as they are defined as full-height windows. The doors shall consist of two or more panels of glass contained in aluminium frames which in turn are contained within an aluminium outer frame designed so that one or more panels are movable by sliding in a horizontal direction. The panels may be all sliding or some sliding and some fixed or folding. The doors are not designed to withstand imposed structural loads or loads from top hung windows located directly above.
