Safety glass intended for architectural, building, and railway applications falls under IS 2553 (Part 1): 2018.

2. Toughened-Float Safety Glass (TF)

3. Laminated Safety Glass (LS)

4. Laminated Float Safety Glass (LF)

Safety glass must be made from flat transparent glass of 'AA' and 'A' quality. The thickness of the safety glass must be in accordance with the standard and measured using the method specified in the standard. Safety glass made from AA or A quality sheet glass must not have defects greater than those specified for AA or A quality sheet glass.

TESTS

The subsequent test must be conducted for safety glass.

Fragmentation test
Resistance to shock test
Light stability test
Boil test
Fracture and adhesion test
Dimensional and visual tests such as thickness

Tests outlined in the standard must be conducted following the procedures delineated in the specification within a suitably equipped and adequately staffed laboratory.

Packaging and labeling must align with the relevant standards. Each packet should bear the information outlined in the standard. Additionally, the standard mark (ISI Mark) must be affixed to every piece of safety glass meeting the specified requirements.
