Standard Specification for Flat Glass type I, quality Q3 requirements.
SGC HEAT-TREATED GLASS
SGC Heat-treated glass products are fabricated in accordance with ASTM C1048 Standard Specification for Heat-Treated Flat Glass – Kind HS, Kind FT Coated and Uncoated.
Fully tempered glass meets the requirements of the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) Z97.1 – 2004 American National Standard for Safety Glazing Materials Used in Buildings – Safety Performance Specifications Method of Test, and Federal Safety Standard 16 CFR 1201 Safety Standard for Architectural Glazing Materials. Fully tempered glass is safety glazing product with a minimum surface compression of 95Mpa.
Heat –strengthened glass is not a safety glazing product, the surface compression is between 24 -69Mpa.
Heat –soak treated fully tempered glass has a much less spontaneous breakage that normal fully tempered glass. It conforms to DIN18516 Standard Specification for heat soaked tempered glass.
Through participation in the Safety Glazing Certification Council (SGCC), SGC certifies fully tempered glass as safety glazing materials and labels the glass accordingly.

meet the requirements of ASTM E774-97 Standard Specification of Sealed Insulating Glass Units and ASTM E773-97
Standard Test for Seal Durability of Sealed Insulating Glass Units. The standards of ASTM E2188 and E2190 replaced
the ASTM E773 and E774 in 2005.
Through participation in the Insulating Glass Certification Council (IGCC), SGC certifies dual-sealed insulating glass units
and each IGU is permanently marked accordingly.
SGC LAMINATED GLASS
