Glass / Glazing

All glazing and mirrors used in the construction of stands must consist of safety glass which is laminated. The use of annealed and tempered glass will not be accepted. The material must comply with the Spanish AENOR, British and/or European standards (e.g., BS 6206 and BS 6262 or BS EN 12600). Documentary evidence or labelling is required.

Any uninterrupted, large areas of clear glazing or mirrors must be indicated with warning stripes, dots, logos, or other similar means. Corners must be polished or protected if they would otherwise pose a hazard to people striking them.

Overhead glazing or mirrors shall be of wired or laminated glass to ensure they are adequately protected from shattering.
