What is BS EN 1288-1 - Fundamentals of testing glass about?
BS EN 1288-1 specifies the determination of the bending strength of monolithic glass for use in buildings.
The test method specified in BS EN 1288-1 is intended to provide large numbers of bending strength values that can be used as a basis for the statistical evaluation of glass strength.
Note: the testing of insulating units or laminated glass is excluded from BS EN 1288-1.

Why should you use BS EN 1288-1 - Fundamentals of testing glass?
Monolithic glasses have become highly in demand due to the plethora of properties they have. They are economical, they conserve energy, have sound insulation, good light transmittance as well as flexibility. The bending strength of glass is very essential for buildings because that means that they are tough and can handle stressors.
BS EN 1288-1 describes considerations to be taken into account when testing the last explanations of the reasons for designing different test methods and the limitations of the test methods. BS EN 1288-1 gives pointers on safety requirements for the person operating the test equipment. Standardization becomes very important in this case considering its wide use.
BS EN 1288-1 ensures uniformity and also assures durability of the glass. Adopting BS EN 1288-1 will inform customers about the best-in-class practices used by the manufacturer in producing glass for buildings.
