Full title and description
Glass in building — Laminated glass and laminated safety glass — Part 2: Laminated safety glass. This International Standard specifies performance requirements for laminated safety glass as defined in ISO 12543‑1 and indicates that defects found in installed laminated safety glass are addressed in ISO 12543‑6.
Abstract
This part of ISO 12543 sets out the performance requirements necessary to demonstrate that laminated safety glass intended for use in buildings meets the specified safety and quality criteria. It is primarily concerned with requirements applicable to laminated safety glass (as defined in ISO 12543‑1) rather than laminated glass that is not safety‑rated.

Scope
This document specifies performance requirements for laminated safety glass intended for use in buildings. It references the vocabulary and component definitions given in ISO 12543‑1 and notes that inspection and acceptability of appearance or other defects in installed laminated safety glass are covered by ISO 12543‑6. The standard applies to products supplied for building applications and is intended to be used by manufacturers, test laboratories and specifiers to demonstrate conformity.
Key topics and requirements
- Performance requirements for laminated safety glass (safety function and integrity).
- Reference to vocabulary and component descriptions in ISO 12543‑1.
- Conformity criteria and requirements necessary to demonstrate product compliance.
- Interaction with other parts of the ISO 12543 series (for appearance, durability, dimensions and test methods).
Typical use and users
Used by glass and laminated‑glass manufacturers, façade and structural engineers, architects and building specifiers, testing and certification laboratories, and regulatory or conformity assessment bodies for product specification, quality control and procurement of laminated safety glass for buildings.
Related standards
ISO 12543 is a multi‑part series. Relevant related parts include ISO 12543‑1 (vocabulary and description of component parts), ISO 12543‑4 (test methods for durability), ISO 12543‑5 (dimensions and edge finishing) and ISO 12543‑6 (appearance and acceptability of defects). These parts together cover definitions, test methods, dimensional requirements and appearance criteria for laminated glass and laminated safety glass.
