| Safety Glass Warnings ALWAYS INSPECT GLASS FOR DAMAGE BEFORE HANDLING USE SAFETY AND HEALTH PRACTICES APPROPRIATE
FOR HANDLING GLASS INCLUDING DAMAGED GLASS PRESENTING A HAZARD MUST BE SAFELY DISCARDED
ANNEALED GLASS is designated a NON-SAFETY GLASS PRODUCT unless permanently assembled in a certified safety laminated glass, as alone it does NOT meet the requirements of CPsc 16 CFR 1201 Cat I & II and ANSI Z97.1-2009 defining safety glass products for architectural safety glazing in the United States of America. Annealed glass must NEVER be used in those instances where an appropriately certified safety tempered or safety laminated glass is required by the law, thermal or mechanical loads, or applicable codes. Any alteration to the stress distribution of our ANNEALED GLASS is expressly PROHIBITED without prior written consultation. Examples of such prohibited alterations include tempering or strengthening by thermal or chemical means. HEAT-STRENGTHENED GLASS is deSignated a NON-SAFETY GLASS PRODUCT unless permanently assembled in a certified safety laminated glass, as alone it does NOT meet the requirements of CPSC 16 CFR 1201 Cat I & II and ANSI Z97.1-2009 defining safety glass products for architectural safety glazing in the United States of America. Heat-strengthened glass must NEVER be used in those instances where an appropriately certified safety tempered or safety laminated glass is required by the law, thermal or mechanical loads, or applicable codes. Only glass fabricated by Precision Glass Bending, and issued with an individual permanent logo or certificate stating it has been heat·strengthened, is certified to be heat-strengthened. All heat-strengthened glass can experience spontaneous breakage, though it is less prone to this tlian tempered glass. Any alteration to the stress distribution, surface or edge shape, or dimensions of our glass certified as HEAT-STRENGTHENED is expressly PROHIBITED. Examples of prohibited alterations include additional fabrication like cutting or grinding, or changes resulting from damage to the glass. Altered product that is unbroken may be breakage susceptible and must be safely discarded. TEMPERED GLASS meeting the requirements of CPSC 16 CFR 1201 Cat I & II and ANSI Z97.1-2009 is defined as a SAFETY GLASS PRODUCT suitable for category I & II architectural safety glazing in the United States of America. Only glass fabricated by Precision Glass Bending, and issued with an individual permanent logo or certificate stating it has been tempered to meet the aforementioned requirements, is certified to be tempered with the Category I & II safety glass deSignation. TEMPERED GLASS meeting the requirements of FMVSS 205, AS-2 (10.1.00) and ANSI Z26.1·1996 Item 2 is defined as a SAFETY GLASS PRODUCT suitable for AS2 motor vehicle safety glazing in the United States of America. Tempered glass meeting the requirements of FMVSS 205, AS·3 (10-1-00) and ANSI Z26.1·1996 Item 3 is defined as a SAFETY GLASS PRODUCT suitable for AS3 motor vehicle safety glazing in the United States of America. Only glass fabricated by Precision Glass Bending, and issued with an individual permanent logo or certificate stating it has been tempered to meet the aforementioned requirements, is certified to be tempered with the AS2 or AS3 safety designation. All tempered glass, flat or bent, can experience spontaneous breakage. If broken, tempered glass falls out of it's opening in interlocking clumps. For this reason, we recommend against using tempered glass for glazing above populated areas in commercial buildings and skylights in homes. Tempered glass can, on occasion, break into large shards rather than the classic tiny piece pattern. Any alteration to the stress distribution, surface or edge shape, or dimensions of our glass certified as SAFETY TEMPERED is expressly PROHIBITED. Examples of prohibited alterations include additional fabrication like cutting or grinding, or changes resulting from damage to the glass. Altered product that is unbroken may be breakage susceptible and must be safely discarded. LAMINATED GLASS meeting the requirements of CPSC 16 CFR 1201 Cat I & II and ANSI Z97.1-2009 is defined as a SAFETY GLASS PRODUCT suitable for Category I & II architectural safety glazing in the United States of America. Only glass fabricated by Precision Glass Bending, and issued with an individual permanent logo or certificate stating it has been laminated to meet the aforementioned requirements, is certified to be laminated with the Category I & II safety designation. Laminated glass assembled with plies of annealed glass must NEVER be used In those instances where plies of heat-strengthened or tempered glass are required by the law, thermal or mechanical loads, or applicable codes. Only plies fabricated by Precision Glass Bending, and issued with an individual permanent logo or certificate stating they have been heat-strengthened or tempered, are certified to be heat-strengthened or tempered glass. All laminated glass assembled with plies of heat-strengthened or tempered glass can experience spontaneous breakage, though plies of heat-strengthened glass are less prone. Any alteration to the surface or edge shape, dimensions, stress distribution (HS or Tempered Plies), or interlayer of our glass certified as SAFETY LAMINATED is expressly PROHIBITED. Examples of prohibited alterations include additional fabrication like cutting or grinding, or changes resulting from damage to the glass. Altered product that is unbroken may be breakage susceptible and must be safely discarded. INSULATING GLASS UNITS are subject to the applicable warnings for each of the component glass products used as lites in the unit assembly. We recommend insulating units assembled using only a single lite of safety laminated glass NOT be installed directly overhead unless the laminated glass is in such a position as to minimize the risk of injury from falling glass in case of breakage. Unless we acknowledge and assemble otherwise, bent glass units assembled with only a single lite of safety laminated glass are assembled with the laminated glass placed as the concave lite.
