The classification according to the height of the fall corresponds to the graduated values ​​​​of the energy transmitted by the impact of a person.

Each test piece will consist of a single glass product chamber and will represent the normal production of the product type submitted for testing.

The test shall be carried out at each drop height on four pieces of the same construction and the same nominal thickness. Where test pieces are of asymmetrical material, their number shall be doubled unless they are designed for assembly only where the risk of impact is from one side only.
