Storage shall prevent dust, chemicals or condensation reacting with the test pieces. The test pieces shall not be stored for more than three months before performing the test.
5.3 Marking The test pieces shall be marked on the uncoated glass surface. The following information shall be marked: manufacturers' coating reference test pieces number 1 to 4 code for test Glasses with coating on both surfaces shall be marked without damaging the coating. The two reference test pieces shall be marked as the test pieces plus "ref". 6 Initial evaluation of test pieces
6.1 Preparation All test pieces shall be cleaned with demineralised water and with a soft tissue. Drying shall also be done with a soft tissue. If necessary this cleaning procedure can be repeated. 6.2 Visual inspection The test pieces shall be subjected to a visual inspection under an artificial sky in accordance with EN 1096-1. The inspection shall take place in both transmission and reflection. The test pieces shall be observed at a distance of 600 mm. All test pieces shall be defect free. No scratches or pinholes shall be observed. If a test piece contains defects it shall be replaced. NOTE The replacement of test pieces is to avoid any misinterpretation of the testing results. 6.3 Spectrophotometric measurements 6.3.1 Coated annealed glass A measurement sample shall be cut from the centre of the reference test piece. The actual size shall be dependent on the type of equipment being used for the measurements. The transmittance of the measurement sample shall be measured with radiation of normal incidence at the following wavelengths: 550 nm (representative wavelength for light and solar transmittance); 900 nm (representative wavelength for solar transmittance). For glass claiming to have a low emissivity coating a measurement of the reflectance shall be made at 8 µm using radiation of nearly normal incidence. SIST EN 1096-2:2012
EN 1096-2:2012 (E) 9 6.3.2 Toughened or heat strengthened coated glass As the measurement sample cannot be cut from the reference test piece, a special procedure has to be employed to make the measurement (see Annex A). 7 Duration of the tests The durations of the tests are set out in Table 2.

8 Test methods 8.1 General The coated glass complying to this part of the European Standard shall pass the tests given in Annexes B, C, D and E which are designed to verify the chemical and mechanical characteristics of the coating. The tests are as follows: condensation resistance test (see Annex B) acid resistance test (see Annex C) neutral salt spray test (see Annex D) abrasion resistance test (see Annex E) These tests are evaluated by their effect on the visual quality of the product and its spectrophotometric properties. Whilst it would be feasible to evaluate the spectrophotometric properties across the entire spectrum, a number of representative wavelengths have been selected. These wavelengths represent transmission of light and energy, together with reflectance relating to emissivity, where appropriate. SIST EN 1096-2:2012
EN 1096-2:2012 (E) 10 Each test shall be carried out without interruption. The only exception is the acid resistance test which can be interrupted after each cycle. However, any interruption shall not exceed three days. Testing shall start as soon as possible after the test pieces have been cleaned. The exception is the abrasion resistance test where testing shall commence within 30 min of the test piece being cleaned. Care shall be taken to ensure the test pieces are clean and uncontaminated.
8.2 Positioning of test pieces in the test cabinets The test pieces shall have their coated side oriented upwards, the pieces presenting an angle of (15 ± 5)° with the vertical, and the coated side shall face away from the door. For consistent results, a certain quantity of glass shall be present. For 300 l cabinet the total weight of the glasses shall be (7,5 ± 0,5) kg. An insufficient quantity of coated glass shall be compensated with uncoated clear glasses. In the centre of the test pieces a piece of 6 mm clear glass is placed, with the reference thermocouple attached (see Figure 2). The following spacing shall be maintained: distance from the walls not less than 100 mm distance between bottom of the test pieces and water not less than 200 mm spacing between adjoining test pieces not less than 20 mm
not more than 40 mm Where there is an insufficient quantity of coated glass for testing, it is required to use uncoated clear glasses to fill up a cabinet. SIST EN 1096-2:2012

Dependent on the class, evaluation shall consist of visual inspection and measurement of spectrophotometric properties. 9.2 Cleaning All test pieces shall be cleaned with demineralised water and with a soft tissue. Drying shall also be done with a soft tissue. If necessary this cleaning procedure can be repeated. The non-coated surface of the glass might have been damaged during the tests. If this deterioration would affect the evaluation of the degradation of the coated surface it is permissible to polish the non coated surface. SIST EN 1096-2:2012
EN 1096-2:2012 (E) 12 The polishing can be undertaken using fine abrasive powder e.g. cerium oxide and/or alumina. Care shall be taken to ensure that the polishing compound does not contaminate the coated surface. Coated glasses with coatings on both surfaces shall not be polished. 9.3 Visual Inspection The test pieces to be examined shall be subjected to a visual inspection under an artificial sky according to EN 1096-1. The examination shall be in both transmission and reflection. Inspection of the test samples shall be from a distance of 600 mm. A band 15 mm wide around the edge of the test pieces shall be excluded from the inspection. All defects shall be noted. The requirements for the acceptance of the coated glass related to the different classes are given in Table 1. 9.4 Spectrophotometric measurements 9.4.1 Coated annealed glass The four test pieces which have been subjected to each chemical durability test (condensation resistance test, acid resistance test, neutral salt spray test) shall be cut so that measurement samples are obtained for the spectrophotometric measurements. The actual size of the measurement sample shall be dependent on the equipment being used for the measurement. The measurement samples shall be cut from the centre of the test piece. The test piece which has been subjected to the abrasion resistance test shall be cut so that measurement samples can be obtained for spectrophotometric measurement. The actual size of the measurement samples shall be dependent on the equipment being used for the measurement. The pattern of the cutting of measurement samples is shown in Figure E.2. The transmittance of the measurement sample shall be determined with radiation of normal incidence of the following wavelengths: 550 nm (representative wavelength for light and solar transmittance) 900 nm (representative wavelength for solar transmittance) For glasses claiming to have a low emissivity coating a measurement of the reflectance shall be made at 8 µm with radiation of nearly normal incidence. The requirements for the acceptance of the coated glass related to the different classes are given in Table 1.
9.4.2 Thermally treated coated glass For the thermally treated coated glass, defined in EN 1096-1:2012, 3.1.8 to 3.1.11, as the measurement samples cannot be cut from the test pieces a special procedure has to be employed to make the measurements (see Annex A). SIST EN 1096-2:2012

EN 1096-2:2012 (E) 15 Annex A (normative)
Special procedures for thermally treated coated glass A.1 General This annex applies to the following coated glass types: to be toughened; toughenable; to be heat strengthened; heat strengthenable. A.2 Samples and test pieces for chemical and abrasion tests A sample of the coated glass representative of the production shall be taken. The test pieces are cut from the sample and shall then be toughened or heat strengthened under the same conditions. The following test pieces are required: chemical tests: 18 test pieces: 100 mm wide x the shortest length, not less than 150 mm, which can be manufactured; abrasion test: one test piece 300 mm x 300 mm or the nearest size to those which can be manufactured. A.3 Spectrophotometric measurements A.3.1 Samples and test pieces for spectrophotometric measurements For the measurement of the emissivity according to EN 12898, and the radiation properties according to EN 410, small test specimens, not larger than 80 mm x 80 mm, are required. The manufacture of such small samples of thermally treated coated glass is not always possible on a normal production machine. For thermally toughened glass with a coating, the glass cannot be cut after toughening because it fragments into small particles. However, the tempering process influences the properties of the coating, which develops its final properties only after the tempering process. NOTE Heat strengthened glass can be measured via island fragments (see A.3.2.3).

Storage shall prevent dust, chemicals or condensation reacting with the test pieces. The test pieces shall not be stored for more than three months before performing the test.
5.3 Marking The test pieces shall be marked on the uncoated glass surface. The following information shall be marked: manufacturers' coating reference test pieces number 1 to 4 code for test Glasses with coating on both surfaces shall be marked without damaging the coating. The two reference test pieces shall be marked as the test pieces plus "ref". 6 Initial evaluation of test pieces
6.1 Preparation All test pieces shall be cleaned with demineralised water and with a soft tissue. Drying shall also be done with a soft tissue. If necessary this cleaning procedure can be repeated. 6.2 Visual inspection The test pieces shall be subjected to a visual inspection under an artificial sky in accordance with EN 1096-1. The inspection shall take place in both transmission and reflection. The test pieces shall be observed at a distance of 600 mm. All test pieces shall be defect free. No scratches or pinholes shall be observed. If a test piece contains defects it shall be replaced. NOTE The replacement of test pieces is to avoid any misinterpretation of the testing results. 6.3 Spectrophotometric measurements 6.3.1 Coated annealed glass A measurement sample shall be cut from the centre of the reference test piece. The actual size shall be dependent on the type of equipment being used for the measurements. The transmittance of the measurement sample shall be measured with radiation of normal incidence at the following wavelengths: 550 nm (representative wavelength for light and solar transmittance); 900 nm (representative wavelength for solar transmittance). For glass claiming to have a low emissivity coating a measurement of the reflectance shall be made at 8 µm using radiation of nearly normal incidence. kSIST FprEN 1096-2:2011
FprEN 1096-2:2011 (E) 9 6.3.2 Toughened or heat strengthened coated glass As the measurement sample cannot be cut from the reference test piece, a special procedure has to be employed to make the measurement (see Annex A). 7 Duration of the tests The durations of the tests are set out in Table 2. Table 2 — Duration of the tests Test Test duration for class A B S Condensation resistance Acid resistance Neutral salt spray Abrasion resistance 21 days 5 cycles 21 days 500 strokes 4 days 1 cycle 10 days 50 strokes 14 days 5 cycles a

8 Test methods 8.1 General The coated glass complying to this part of the European Standard shall pass the tests given in Annexes B, C, D and E which are designed to verify the chemical and mechanical characteristics of the coating. The tests are as follows: condensation resistance test (see Annex B) acid resistance test (see Annex C) neutral salt spray test (see Annex D) abrasion resistance test (see Annex E) These tests are evaluated by their effect on the visual quality of the product and its spectrophotometric properties. Whilst it would be feasible to evaluate the spectrophotometric properties across the entire spectrum, a number of representative wavelengths have been selected. These wavelengths represent transmission of light and energy, together with reflectance relating to emissivity, where appropriate. kSIST FprEN 1096-2:2011
FprEN 1096-2:2011 (E) 10 Each test shall be carried out without interruption. The only exception is the acid resistance test which can be interrupted after each cycle. However, any interruption shall not exceed three days. Testing shall start as soon as possible after the test pieces have been cleaned. The exception is the abrasion resistance test where testing shall commence within 30 min of the test piece being cleaned. Care shall be taken to ensure the test pieces are clean and uncontaminated.
8.2 Positioning of test pieces in the test cabinets The test pieces shall have their coated side oriented upwards, the pieces presenting an angle of (15 ± 5)° with the vertical, and the coated side shall face away from the door. For consistent results, a certain quantity of glass shall be present. For 300 l cabinet the total weight of the glasses shall be (7,5 ± 0,5) kg. An insufficient quantity of coated glass shall be compensated with uncoated clear glasses. In the centre of the test pieces a piece of 6 mm clear glass is placed, with the reference thermocouple attached (see Figure 2). The following spacing shall be maintained: distance from the walls not less than 100 mm distance between bottom of the test pieces and water not less than 200 mm spacing between adjoining test pieces not less than 20 mm
not more than 40 mm Where there is an insufficient quantity of coated glass for testing, it is required to use uncoated clear glasses to fill up a cabinet. kSIST FprEN 1096-2:2011

Dependent on the class, evaluation shall consist of visual inspection and measurement of spectrophotometric properties. 9.2 Cleaning All test pieces shall be cleaned with demineralised water and with a soft tissue. Drying shall also be done with a soft tissue. If necessary this cleaning procedure can be repeated. The non-coated surface of the glass might have been damaged during the tests. If this deterioration would affect the evaluation of the degradation of the coated surface it is permissible to polish the non coated surface. kSIST FprEN 1096-2:2011
FprEN 1096-2:2011 (E) 12 The polishing can be undertaken using fine abrasive powder e.g. cerium oxide and/or alumina. Care shall be taken to ensure that the polishing compound does not contaminate the coated surface. Coated glasses with coatings on both surfaces shall not be polished. 9.3 Visual Inspection The test pieces to be examined shall be subjected to a visual inspection under an artificial sky according to EN 1096-1. The examination shall be in both transmission and reflection. Inspection of the test samples shall be from a distance of 600 mm. A band 15 mm wide around the edge of the test pieces shall be excluded from the inspection. All defects shall be noted. The requirements for the acceptance of the coated glass related to the different classes are given in Table 1. 9.4 Spectrophotometric measurements 9.4.1 Coated annealed glass The four test pieces which have been subjected to each chemical durability test (condensation resistance test, acid resistance test, neutral salt spray test) shall be cut so that measurement samples are obtained for the spectrophotometric measurements. The actual size of the measurement sample shall be dependent on the equipment being used for the measurement. The measurement samples shall be cut from the centre of the test piece. The test piece which has been subjected to the abrasion resistance test shall be cut so that measurement samples can be obtained for spectrophotometric measurement. The actual size of the measurement samples shall be dependent on the equipment being used for the measurement. The pattern of the cutting of measurement samples is shown in Figure E.2. The transmittance of the measurement sample shall be determined with radiation of normal incidence of the following wavelengths: 550 nm (representative wavelength for light and solar transmittance) 900 nm (representative wavelength for solar transmittance) For glasses claiming to have a low emissivity coating a measurement of the reflectance shall be made at 8 µm with radiation of nearly normal incidence. The requirements for the acceptance of the coated glass related to the different classes are given in Table 1.
9.4.2 Thermally treated coated glass For the thermally treated coated glass, defined in 3.3, as the measurement samples cannot be cut from the test pieces a special procedure has to be employed to make the measurements (see Annex A). 10 Test report The test report shall state the following information: a) general: 1) reference to this European Standard; kSIST FprEN 1096-2:2011

Special procedures for thermally treated coated glass A.1 General This annex applies to the following coated glass types: to be toughened; toughenable; to be heat strengthened; heat strengthenable. A.2 Samples and test pieces A sample of the coated glass representative of the production shall be taken. The test pieces are cut from the sample and shall then be toughened or heat strengthened under the same conditions. The following test pieces are required: chemical tests: 18 test pieces: 100 mm wide x the shortest length, not less than 150 mm, which can be manufactured; abrasion test: one test piece 300 mm x 300 mm or the nearest size to those which can be manufactured. A.3 Spectrophotometric measurements A.3.1 Introduction For the measurement of the emissivity according to EN 12898, and the radiation properties according to EN 410, small test specimens, not larger than 80 x 80 mm, are required. The manufacture of such small samples of thermally treated coated glass is not always possible on a normal production machine. For thermally toughened glass with a coating, the glass cannot be cut after toughening because it fragments into small particles. However, the tempering process influences the properties of the coating, which develops its final pr
