CSi receive quite a number of enquiries from the general public, building inspectors, etc; regarding the compliance marking of safety glazing materials to Australian and New Zealand Standard;

• AS/NZS 2208:1996 Safety glazing materials in buildings.

In order to demonstrate compliance with the standard the safety glazing material marking should details as a minimum;

1.       The “Company name or registered trademark” of the safety glazing manufacturer or supplier.

2.       The standard “Nominal thickness” in millimetres for the safety glazing material.

3.       The “Grade” of the safety glazing material.

4.       Lettering indication the “Type” of safety glazing material.

5.       The “Reference number” of the Australian/New Zealand Standard to which the safety glazing material has been

          deemed to comply with.

Additional marking may include the use of a “Third party certification body” trademark logo, such as the PAS-Mark, and a unique identification number to identify the manufacturing site.

Compliance marking should be by permanent marking.

Where permanent marking is requested not to be used, a removable label may be used. The removable label should self destruct when removed so that it cannot be re-applied.

The above compliance marking is indicative only. The supplied safety glazing material may require varied or additional markings as indicated in AS/NZS 2208:1996 Safety glazing materials in buildings.
