DIN EN 16759:2014-08

This European Standard specifies the method to be used to verify the mechanical performance of Structural Sealant Glazing Systems. It applies to any window/doorset or curtain walling application (see Annex A). Structural Sealant Glazing can be incorporated into the product as follows: - either vertically; or - up to 83° from the vertical (positive slope) - up to 15° from the vertical onto the building face (negative slope). NOTE A wall has a positive slope if its outer surface faces upwards. It gives information to the manufacturer to comply with requirements regarding design, factory production control and assembly rules. The parts concerned in the testing are the metal profile (anodized and coated aluminium, stainless steel), the glass coated or not which shall be bonded, the sealant and mechanical restraints when required. The testing does not apply to other framing materials.
