Glass in building. Coated glass – Test method and classification for the self-cleaning performances of coated glass surfaces
Published By | Publication Date | Number of Pages |
BSI | 2016 | 36 |
This European Standard defines a test method to establish the self-cleaning performances for coatings on glass which utilize sun, rain or a combination of sun and rain to enhance the cleanliness of the glass.
The European Standard applies to class A coated glass as defined in EN 1096‑1 and EN 1096‑2 for use in outdoor building applications. The test is designed to be applicable for coatings on glass which use hydrophilic or photocatalytic active functionalities to enhance the cleanliness of the glass.
The test procedure does not specifically address the durability of the coating’s self-cleaning functionality.
