Safety Requirements:

Safeguard is a structural safety product and is not designed to withstand pedestrian traffic in BS6399. Safeguard products should only be installed using approved compatible glazing materials (please refer to Glazeguard S.W. Ltd for further information). Where edges are likely to be exposed to moisture then we strongly suggest that a form of edge protection is applied. Mechanical and structural calculations are available at a cost to be agreed. Safeguard should not be installed in applications where sustained temperatures exceeding 60°C will be experienced.

General Notes:

Manufacturing, appearance and visual tolerances in accordance with EN 12543 pts 1-6.

Bubbles
During the laminating process it is possible that small air bubbles may be entrapped; these may naturally disperse during the curing process. Any latent defects may be treated and will not adversely affect the performance of Safeguard products. Bubbles under 3mm in diameter and not visible from 3 metres away in normal daylight will be deemed acceptable.

Specifiers
An edge tape may be evident unless otherwise specified. Completion of mechanical and thermal safety checks for any application remains the responsibility of the person(s) placing the order.
