ÖNORM EN 15434

This European Standard covers the requirements for and testing of sealants for use in one or more of the following applications: a) Manufacturing of insulating glass units where ultra-violet resistance and/or mechanical resistance (structural use) of the insulating glass edge seal is required. b) Manufacturing of factory made structural sealant glazing elements when referred to by the relevant European Standards and/or European Technical Approval Guidelines. c) Assembling of glass products into or onto supports, where also ultra-violet resistance and/or mechanical resistance (structural use) of the seal is required, under controlled environmental conditions as described in Clause 5 of EN 13022-2:2006. d) Manufacturing of insulating glass units where the outer seal of the insulating glass has no structural function and exposure to ultra-violet radiation is reduced for example either by: i) Use of glass components that decrease the ultra-violet radiation transmission, e.g. laminated glass with ultra-violet absorbing interlayer(s), screen enamelled printing, etc., or ii) Use of durable applied opaque surface coverings, e.g. metal components, etc.
