SKP SAFE – group of glass packs involving the

phenomena
glass packs produced using safe glass.

Safe glass is laminated, tempered or reinforced glass.

breaks
When making design of windows and outside doors, the
following should be taken into consideration:
purpose of use of the building premises and intensity
objects
of activity of their users, i. e. number of persons who can
access glazing in critical areas and their activity; outside inside
resistance of glass against strokes and way of
breakage; quality
measurement of glass in critical areas.
Glass safety is described by classes of glass resistance
to strokes and type of breakage.

Glass properties and classes defining glass properties in accordance with LST EN 12600:

Glass property Glass class Remarks

1 Resistance to stroke 3, 2, 1 3 class glass – lowest resistance to strokes,

1 class – highest resistance to strokes.

A Glass breaks up into multiple different-sized sharp-

edged pieces. This feature of glass breakage is
typical of the ordinary glass hardened thermally and
chemically.

2 B Glass can crack or break, but glass pieces remain

Type of glass breakage stuck to the film. This feature of glass breakage is
typical of laminated glass covered with films and wire
grid.

C Glass breaks into multiple small pieces which are

relatively harmless. This feature of glass breakage is
typical of thermally hardened glass.

The use of safety glass in Lithuania is regulated by Technical Regulations for

Construction STR 2.05.20:2006 “Windows and outside doors”.

The following standards are used for classification of safety glass:

The following standards are used for classification of
safety glass:
LST EN 12600:2003. Construction glass. Pendulum
test. Method and classification of shock test for sheet
glass.
This standard defines resistance of glass against
strokes and type of breakage. Classification is applied
for laminated and tempered glass (see Table 1.1 and
1.2).
LST EN 356:2002. Construction glass. Protective
window glass. Test of resistance against hand-stroke
and classification.
Glass classified according to this standard show the
level of safety against break-in or fall. Only laminated
glass is classified as safe according to this standard
(see Table 2.1 and 2.2).
