Third Party Verification Claim

Mr. John Ruprecht Clear View Glass Railings
AET Project No. 05-20608
October 13, 2020
Page 4 of 4
Due to the laminate construction of the panels (similar to a vehicle windshield), the panel broke into
small pieces that were retained within the panel, preventing dangerous flying glass debris. See photo 3.
Photo 3: Panel after failure, showing all glass intact within laminate structure.
This test shows that the panel meets the intent to create a strong and safe barrier that can withstand
reasonable loading (factor of safety of 2.5), and does not explode with dangerous glass shards during
excessive loading.
Don’t hesitate to contact us with questions about this testing or any other aspects of this evaluation
program.
