This document specifies a test method for determining the mechanical viscoelastic properties of
interlayer materials. The interlayers under examination are those used in the production of laminated
glass and/or laminated safety glass. The interlayer viscoelastic properties are needed in order to
determine the load resistance of laminated glass.
From the tensile modulus in particular conditions of temperature and load duration, an interlayer can
be placed into a family that relates to a specific interlayer shear transfer coefficient, ω. This value can be used in the simplified calculation method described in EN 16612.
Informative Annex D explains the background to the determination of families relating to a specific
interlayer shear transfer coefficient.Cross References:EN 16612EN 1288-3EN ISO 6721-1ISO 6721-11ISO 6721-4All current amendments available at time of purchase are included with the purchase of this document.
