safety glazing Explanation: "Glass, plastic and organic coated glass shall be selected in order to provide, in the case of human impact, a degree of safety appropriate in relation to - (a) The position of the glazed area; and (b) The number and likely behaviour pattern of persons expected to be in close proximity to such glazed area." See ref 1 (one of many) See ref 2 for details on the areas requiring safety glazing. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2003-07-08 08:45:26 (GMT) -------------------------------------------------- There seem to be no specific regulations to prevent falling through a window. In many cases, German safety regulations for buildings are far more detailed. In other countries, a higher level of \'common sense\' is assumed.
