6.9 Irradiation resistance

The inspection is in accordance with Section 7.10: After the test, the sample shall be free from any significant discoloration, bubbles and turbidity. The relative change rate of visible light transmittance of the sample before and after the test shall not be larger than 3%.

6.10 Falling ball impact peeling performance

The inspection is in accordance with Section 7.11: After the test, the interlayer shall not fracture and be exposed due to the fragment peeling.

6.11 Shot-bag impact performance

The inspection is carried out in accordance with Section 7.12: After the test of each impact height, the sample shall be not damaged and/or safely damaged.

Where the sample is damaged and simultaneously meets the following requirements, it is regarded as safe damage.

7.1 Test conditions

Unless otherwise specified, all tests shall be carried out under the following conditions.

7.2 Appearance quality inspection

Taking the product as sample, under the preferable natural light or scattered light, the sample is vertically placed and the sight line is vertical with glass. The observation is carried out 1m away from the sample.

7.3 Permissible deviation inspection in dimension

7.3.1 Measurement of width, length and diagonal line deviation

Straight steel ruler or steel tape with the minimum scale of 1mm is used for the measurement.

7.3.2 Stacking fault

Straight steel ruler with the minimum scale 0.5mm is used to measure along the glass edge and the maximum stacking fault is read.

7.4 Degree of curvature inspection

The sample is placed for 4h under the test conditions specified in Section 7.1 and measured according to the requirements of GB 15763.2-2005.

7.5 Visible light transmittance test

3 samples are taken and tested according to the requirements of Chapter 4 in GB/T 5137.2-2002.

7.8 Heat resistance test

7.8.1 Specimen

The specimen is prepared under the same processing technique with the product and has the same material with the product, or it is cut and taken directly from the product, but one edge of the specimen shall be part of original edge of the product.

7.8.2 Test device

The electric blast oven with temperature control precision not greater than ±1°C or the device which can heat water to boiling may be adopted as the test device.

7.10 Radiation resistance test

7.10.1 Specimen

The specimen is a flat pattern test piece, and made of two pieces of colorless and transparent flat glass and interlayer material same with that of the product under the same interlayer process condition.

7.10.2 Test device

It shall meet the requirements of GB/T 5137.3.

7.12.2 Test device

The test devices include a fixed test frame, a clamping frame keeping the specimen within the test frame, an impact body with suspension device and release device (see Annex C) and force measurement ball device (see Annex D). The test frame shall be provided with enough rigidity and firmly fixed, and the specific requirements are detailed in Annex E.

8.1 Inspection classification

The inspection is divided into delivery inspection and type inspection.

8.1.1 Delivery inspection

The inspection items are dimension and deviation, appearance quality and degree of curvature, other inspection items are determined through negotiation between the Supplier and the Demander.
