Relevant regulations It is a legal requirement to have all relevant existing glazing made impact-safe and be so marked. In addition the Building Regulations BS 6262 Part 4, Safety, Human Impact states that:
Every window or glazed area in a wall, partition, door, or gate shall
be of safety material or be protected against breakage -
ie, it should
not break on impact or should break safely.
Safety glazing
material must meet BS 6206 Class B in doors and side panels over 900mm
wide, and Class C in those less than 900mm wide.
Low level glazing must
meet a minimum of BS 6206 Class C.
This entails the use of
laminated, toughened or safety-wired glass, or plastic glazing sheet
that meet BS 6206,
or glass with plastic film applied so that the pane
of glass with the film meets BS 6206 Class A or B.
Existing
glazing must also be appropriately marked or featured so as to make it
apparent and thus avoid the risk of collision because it is not
properly visible.
In particular, large uninterrupted areas of glazing where people might reasonably think they can walk straight through. Which glazing is affected? 'Critical
locations' is the term given to describe of internal and external
walls, doors and partitioning which are of primary concern in terms of
glazing safety.
These areas are depicted here and described in the two
categories below: Critical locations are: Between the
finished floor level and 1500mm (shoulder height) above that level in
doors, and in side panels which fall within
300mm of either edge of the
door. Between the finished floor level and 800mm (waist height) above that level in the case of walls, partitions and windows. It
is important to note that any part of a glass pane affected must meet
the requirements in its entirety and not just in the relevant section. Film008
