GOST 32568-2013 PDF

Full title and description

GOST 32568-2013 — "Стеклопакеты для наземного транспорта. Технические условия" (English: "Glass units for vehicles. Specifications"). The standard establishes technical requirements for insulated glass units (double- and multi-glazed units) intended for glazing road vehicles, their trailers and components, as well as trams, railway cars, metro rolling stock, tractors, agricultural, lifting and construction machines used in all land macroclimatic regions in accordance with GOST 15150.

Abstract

GOST 32568-2013 specifies terminology, constructional types, material and dimensional requirements, performance characteristics (mechanical, optical and thermal where applicable), test methods, rules for acceptance, marking, packaging, storage and transportation for insulating glass units used in land transport. It also references related normative documents and applicable test standards.

Scope

This standard applies to sealed (insulating) glass units intended for glazing landborne vehicles and their units — including automobiles, trailers, trams, railway cars, metro cars, tractors, agricultural machinery, lifting equipment and construction/road machines — and is intended to ensure suitability of glass units for service across all terrestrial macroclimatic regions per GOST 15150. It covers product requirements, acceptance rules and basic test methods required to demonstrate conformity for transport glazing applications.

Key topics and requirements

• Definitions and classification of insulating glass units for vehicle glazing (types, nominal constructions).
• Materials and components: glass types, spacer and sealant materials compatible with transport use and aging requirements.
• Dimensional tolerances, permissible deviations and assembly rules for sealed units.
• Performance criteria: mechanical strength, impact resistance, optical quality, adhesion and seal durability for transport operating conditions.
• Required test methods and sampling procedures for type and acceptance tests.
• Marking, packaging, transportation and storage requirements specific to vehicle glazing.
• Rules for acceptance, identification of nonconforming lots and required corrective measures.

Typical use and users

Manufacturers of vehicle glazing and automotive glazing suppliers; OEM vehicle and rolling-stock manufacturers (automotive, tram, rail, metro); maintenance and refurbishment workshops; component qualification and test laboratories; certification bodies and regulatory agencies overseeing transport safety and materials conformity. Engineers responsible for glazing selection, procurement and quality control will commonly reference this standard.

Related standards

GOST 32568-2013 references and is used alongside other normative documents for glass and transport applications, for example GOST 15150 (environmental conditions for products), various glass product standards (e.g., flat glass and insulating glass requirements), and some international norms such as ISO 3599 where applicable. Commonly associated GOSTs cited in the standard include GOST R 54170-2010, GOST 111-200, GOST 31286-2005, GOST 24866-99 and others governing test methods, marking and material properties.

FAQ

Q: What is this standard?

A: GOST 32568-2013 is the Russian (interstate) standard that sets technical requirements and acceptance rules for sealed (insulating) glass units used to glaze land transport vehicles and related rolling stock.

Q: What does it cover?

A: It covers classification, constructional requirements, materials, dimensional tolerances, performance characteristics, test and acceptance procedures, marking, packaging, storage and transportation requirements for insulating glass units intended for transport use.

Q: Who typically uses it?

A: Vehicle and rolling-stock manufacturers, glazing suppliers, component test laboratories, certification bodies, maintenance and refurbishment shops, and procurement/quality engineers responsible for glazing selection and conformity.

Q: Is it current or superseded?

A: As of the latest available records, GOST 32568-2013 is in force (implemented 01 January 2015) and listed as active; users should verify any subsequent amendments or revisions through national standards registries or publishers for the most current status.

Q: Is it part of a series?

A: The standard is part of the family of GOST documents addressing glass products and transport-related standards (referencing and used together with other GOSTs on glass, test methods and environmental conditions such as GOST 15150). It is not a numbered subsequence series but belongs to the broader set of standards for glass and glazing in transport applications.
