3 PART 3 SUMMARY 3.1 Tests When using glass in a proprietary walling system, a certificate shall be obtained from the manufacturer confirming testing for water/air pressure by a recognized testing authority, to relevant standards approved in advance by the Engineer, at which the Engineer shall be expected to attend. The Engineer may also or alternatively require a full mock up test of proposed walling to check water permeability and air tightness and/or other properties. 3.2 Reference Documents 3.2.1 Standards Reference Title ASTM C1048 Standard Specification for Heat-Treated Flat Glass–Kind HS, Kind FT Coated and Uncoated Glass Standard Specification for Nonrigid Vinyl Chloride Polymer and Copolymer Molding and Extrusion Compounds Fire tests on building materials and structures.
