Area of Interest Acceptable Defects

The document discusses three areas of interest when visually inspecting insulated glass units (IGUs): the edge area within 15 mm of the glass edge, the boundary area within 50 mm of the edge, and the main area inside the boundary. It provides criteria for acceptable defects within each area, such as allowable numbers and sizes of inclusions, bubbles, and scratches.

In the visual inspection of IGU, there are three areas of interest:

• The edge area: up to 15 mm in width from the glass edge (the surface to be
concealed within the frame);
• The boundary area: up to 50 mm in width from the glass edge;
• The main area: the surface area inside the boundary area limits, or the glass
pane centre.

Area of interest Acceptable defects

EDGE AREA Edge damage, shells, and nicks on the outside which do not affect the glass pane
strength and do not extend beyond the glass seal width.
15 mm from the glass pane
edge: Internal shells without loose splinters and filled with sealing compound.
the glass surface to be
concealed within the frame
Localised and superficial impurities and scratches, and undulation of the butyl
compound: no restrictions to acceptability.

BOUNDARY AREA Inclusions and air bubbles:


Glass pane area ≤ 1 m2: 4 defects maximum, ≤ Ø 2 mm each
50 mm from the glass pane Glass pane area > 1 m2: 1 defect maximum, ≤ Ø 2 mm / linear metre along edge
edge:
Superficial scratches
Max length per single scratch line < 30 mm, total length of all scratches < 90 mm.

Minor superficial scratches – hairline scratches – acceptable if not in clusters.

Flat impurities / stains:


white and grey or clear in appearance – 1 defect ≤ Ø 17mm

MAIN AREA Localised defects (inclusions, air bubbles, specks, etc.): Defects ≤ Ø 1 mm are
acceptable if not in clusters.
Glass pane area ≤ 1m2: 2 defects maximum, ≤ Ø 2 mm each
Glass pane area 1 < S ≤ 2 m2: 3 defects maximum, ≤ Ø 2 mm each
Glass pane area ≥ 2 m2: 3 defects maximum + 2 defect per 1 m2 of the glass ≤ Ø
2 mm Flat impurities / stains:
white and grey or clear in appearance – 1 defect ≤ Ø 17 mm

Scratches:
Max length per single scratch line < 15 mm, total length of all scratches ≤ 45 mm
(applies to glass panes up to 5 m2).
Hairline scratches: acceptable if not in clusters
