EN 1279-2 Building Glazing - Test for Insulating Glass Units

EUROLAB, with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, provides precise and fast testing services within the scope of EN 1279-2 testing. This standard describes the test method for determining the moisture penetration index.

Insulated Glass joins two or more sheets of glass spaced apart and sealed with a sealant so that they appear as a single unit. Also called double glazing, IGUs are designed to reduce visible light transmission while reducing heat loss and solar heat gain entering the building.

Therefore, they improve thermal performance and reduce energy costs. They can be manufactured to meet sound control requirements, seismic requirements, lead resistance, hurricane and explosion resistance requirements, impact resistance and status energy codes.

Moisture penetration occurs when water enters a building from outside through faulty stormwater protection equipment or infrastructure. It is common in buildings of all ages, especially in areas with climate change.

With the use of EN 1279-2, you can evaluate the moisture penetration in buildings and with this information, you can make the necessary changes in glass production to ensure the safety of those who use your product. Providing this quality control can help build credibility among your customers.
