Title
Standard Specification for the Performance of Glass in Permanent Glass Railing Systems, Guards, and Balustrades
ASTM International
Publication Date:
Nov 1, 2004
Scope:
This specification covers glass in permanent railing systems, guards
and balustrades installed in
agricultural, assembly, commercial, educational, industrial,
institutional, recreational, and
residential buildings.
This specification is intended to be applied to permanent glass
railing systems for buildings and
to such railing systems, rails, guards and balustrades having major
structural components made of
glass, or the secondary components such as infill or balusters made of
glass.
This specification considers that the overall outlook is based on the
health and safety of all
potential users of buildings. The criteria incorporated in this
specification provide for normal
and anticipated building uses, but not for abuses for which the
building and its components are not
designed.
This specification establishes basic minimum requirements and criteria
that lead to satisfactory
products under normal use conditions and does not give consideration
to design criteria for
specific field conditions, the establishment of which is the
prerogative and responsibility of the
designer, specification writer, and regulatory agencies.
This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns,
if any, associated with its
use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to
establish appropriate safety and
health practices and to determine the applicability of regulatory
limitations prior to use.
