    Abstract - (Show below) - (Hide below)

    Specifies insulating glass units, and ensures by means of an adequate evaluation of conformity to this standard that over time.

    Scope - (Show below) - (Hide below)

    This part of the standard covers the evaluation of the edge seal strength, and partial evaluation of moisture and gas permeation through sealants, by testing and/or report examination as a means of verifying whether a product made in accordance with its system description, and its variations in accordance with prEN 1279-1 conforms to the relevant aspects of the definition of insulating glass units.
