Use the container made of steel plates showed in Figure 3 and a bar-shaped thermometer（the scale is 1℃，and the
measurement scope is ＋30～－70℃）or the temperature indicator with the same or above precision.
6.3.6.3 Test procedure
1）before testing, keep the sample above 24h in the environment of 23℃±2℃ temperature.
2）put ethanol or acetone into the container until top of A surface, then add dry ice or other refrigeration medium, and
keep the temperature during the test process.
3）put the sample upright, determine any testing location and clean it with cloth, apply a coat of ethanol or acetone on
A surface of the container （A surface is the central part of ah surface），and then put the sample closely contact the
surface and keep a period as specified in Table 21.
4）move the container away from the location, and within 30s, use a hand to wipe off the frost attached on the glass
surface swiftly, and immediately observe whether the dew or frost appears on inside surface of the sample.

a— about 100mm；b—about 50mm；h—about 150mm；t—3mm

6.3.7 Acceleration durability test
1）sample
Use the same sample as that used in Clause 6.3.6.1 .
2）test installation
Wet fastness and light fastness test equipment and cold-hot circulation test equipment.
3）test procedure
Begin the test after determining the dew point by means of Clause 6.3.6 , the testing process is as follows:
a）Class Ⅰtest method specified in Table 19: after wet fastness and light fastness test 7d and continuous cold-hot
circulation test 12 times, use the method of Clause 5.3.6 to determine the dew point.
b) Class Ⅱtest method specified in Table 19: continue the test process of sub-clause a）, and again after wet fastness
and light fastness test 7d and continuous cold-hot circulation test 12 times, use the method of Clause 6.3.6 to
determine the dew point.
c) Class Ⅲ test method specified in Table 19: continue the test process of sub-clause b), and again after wet fastness
and light fastness test 7d and continuous cold-hot circulation test 48 times, use the method of Clause 6.3.6 to
determine the dew point.
4）wet fastness and light fastness test
Put the sample into the trough with constant temperature and humidity at 55℃±3℃ temperature and above 95%
relative humidity, as demonstrated in Figure 4. Then use ultraviolet radiation fluorescent lamps FL40BL and FL40BL
to irradiate the adhesive surface of the glass and the sealing material, and take the distance from the axes of the
fluorescent lamp to the glass surface as 50mm±3mm. Then use a continuous recorder to record the temperature and
humidity at the location with average temperature and humidity inside the trough. The total lighting time of the
fluorescent lamp will be 5 150h and the lamp is required to be replaced.

5) Cold-hot repeated test
Put the sample into the trough with constant temperature as showed in Figure 5, and use a continuous recorder to
record the temperature at the location with average temperature inside the trough, after keeping 1h at －20℃±3℃
temperature, keep another 1h at 50℃±3℃ temperature, take this as 1 time of circulation, and the circulation number
should comply with the specification in sub-clause 3).

6.3.8 Radiation stabile test

The laminated glass with the sample of 76mm×300mm shall be tested according to GB/T 5137.3 .
6.3.9 Penetration resistance
The laminated glass with the sample of 300mm×300mm shall be tested according to GB/T 5137.1.
7 Inspection rule
7.1 Classes of inspection
Inspections include factory inspection and type inspection.
7.1.1 Factory inspection: inspection items include thickness, dimension deviation, appearance, degree of curvature,
concordant degree, and dew point. If other inspection items are required, they should be agreed by the supplier and the
buyer.
7.1.2 Type inspection: inspection items should be items covered by all technical requirements of this sort of product
specified by this standard.
In case of one of the following conditions, type inspection should be carried out.
a) the trial manufacture and design-finalizing appraisal for the new product or old product production in a new
factory;
b) after formal production, when the structure, material and workmanship have great changes and may affect the
product performance;
c) after normal production, and periodically or after accumulating certain quantity of products, make periodical
inspection;
d) after long term stop of production, when resuming the production;
e) when great difference between factory inspection result and the last type inspection result;
f) when the National Quality Supervision Authority requires to carry out the type inspection.
7.2 Lot establishment and sampling rule
7.2.1 For tests of thickness, dimension deviation, appearance, degree of curvature, concordant degree and dew point of
the product, carry out random sampling according to the specification of Table 22 . If the lot scope of dew point test is
less than 15 pieces, at least take 5 pieces to test.

7.2.2 For other technical performances required for the product, if use the product to test, make random sampling from
the lot of products according to numbers required by inspection items. If use samples to test, adopt samples prepared
under the same workmanship conditions. When the quantity of this lot of products is more than 500 pieces, take every
500 pieces as one lot, and sampling by lots. When the inspection item is nondestructive test, we can proceed to inspect
other items.
7.3 Judgment rule
When the unconformity number of products in thickness, dimension deviation, appearance, degree of curvature,
and concordant degree is more than or equal the judgment number of unconformity specified in Table 22, thickness,
dimension deviation, appearance, degree of curvature and concordant degree of this lot of products should be
considered ineligible. And other performances should comply with the corresponding clauses in Section 5, otherwise
the product should be considered ineligible.
Among the above various items, if one item is ineligible, this lot of products should be considered ineligible.
8 Packing, mark, transportation and storage
8.1 Packing
Products should be packed with containers or wooden boxes. And every piece of glass should be packed with
paper or take other protection measures. The gap between glass and the package box should be filled with soft
material not easily to scratch and damage glass. The concrete requirements are specified in JC/T 512 .
8.2 Mark
Marks should comply with relevant stipulations in JC/T 512. On external part of every package box, “face upside,
be careful to put slightly” etc. words and glass thickness, sort, factory name or brand should be clearly printed.
8.3 Transportation
Products should be transported by various types of vehicles. The handling rule and conditions etc. should comply
with relevant stipulations in JC/T 512 .
When transporting, glass is not allowed to be laid horizontally or in an inclined state, and the direction in length
should be the same direction as the transportation direction of the vehicle. And weatherproof measures should be
taken.
8.4 Storage
Products should be stored in a dry room upright.
