ISO 12543-1.

2 Normative references
The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document. For dated
references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced
document (including any amendments) applies.

description of component parts

ISO 12543-4:2011, Glass in building —— Laminated glass and laminated safety glass —— Part 4: Test methods

3 Terms and definitions

For the purposes of this document, the terms and definitions given in ISO 12543-1 and the following apply.

3.1
delamination
usually a two-dimensional visual effect which is caused by local loss of adhesion between the glass or plastic
glazing material and the interlayer

NOTE Local total loss of adhesion between the glass or plastic glazing material and the interlayer leads to a local
increase of light reflection.

3.2
bubble
usually a three-dimensional visual effect which is caused by gaseous inclusions in the interlayer or at the
interface between glass and interlayer

‹(6$ 1
(6ISO 12543-2:2011E)

3.3
haze
scattering of incident light by a specimen resulting in a reduction of direct light transmittance and the contrast
of objects viewed through the glass

3.4
cloudiness
local variation in the scattering of incident light by a specimen resulting in a reduction of direct light
transmittance and the contrast of objects viewed through the glass

3.5
discoloration
significant change of colour of a laminated safety glass, caused by oxidization processes in the interlayer

NOTE In clear interlayers, discoloration is usually perceived as yellowing.

4 Impact resistance
Laminated safety glass is distinguished from laminated glass by its performance under a pendulum impact
test and its subsequent classification.

NOTE ISO/TS 29584, detailing two methods of pendulum impact testing, is available. The publication of an
International Standard on impact testing and classification of glass products is expected in the future.

In the absence of an appropriate International Standard for impact testing glass products, the following
applies:

 in non-CEN ISO member states, laminated safety glass should be classified in accordance with
appropriate national standards or EN 12600;

 in CEN member states, laminated safety glass should be classified to a minimum of 3(B)3 in accordance
with EN 12600.

5 Durability of laminated safety glass and laminated safety glass with fire-resistant
properties

 Organization and Objectives
The Ethiopian Standards Agency (ESA) is the national standards body of Ethiopia
established in 2010 based on regulation No. 193/2010.ESA is established due to the
restructuring of Quality and Standards Authority of Ethiopia (QSAE) which was
established in 1970.

ESA’s objectives are:-
