What is BS EN 1096-2 - Coated glass about?
BS EN 1096-2 is a European Standard. BS EN 1096-2 has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 129 “Glass in building”, the secretariat of which is held by NBN.
BS EN 1096-2 specifies requirements and test methods related to artificial weathering and abrasion of coatings on glass for use in buildings.
These tests as outlined in BS EN 1096-2 are aimed at evaluating the resistance of the coating to attack by simulated natural weathering conditions as well as to abrasion. This attack can be considered as representative of that which could be found on the external and/or internal face of the glazing.
BS EN 1096-2 is the 2nd part of the coated glass series that discusses requirements and test methods for class A, B and S coatings. BS EN 1096-2 discusses scope, references, definitions and much more in detail to ensure maximum efficiency.
Note: This European Standard applies to Class A, B and S coatings

- Glass Technologists
Why should you use BS EN 1096-2 - Coated glass?
Standardization in coated glass is becoming more and more important due to the increasing quality and performance standards. Coated glass ensures higher stability, UV reduction, safety and maximum resilience which makes its consistent performance important.
BS EN 1096-2 specifies requirements and test methods related to artificial weathering and abrasion of coatings on glass for use in buildings.
BS EN 1096-2 contains tests that are aimed at evaluating the resistance of the coating to attack by simulated natural weathering conditions as well as to abrasion. This attack can be considered representative of that which could be found on the external and/or internal faces of the glazing. Use BS EN 1096-2 to assure reliability and demonstrate the efficiency of coated glass.
