    The first reason is safety-related, and directly affects the responsibility of specifiers in the event of a claim. Tempered laminated glass will enable us to push back the service limit states (behavior before breakage "ELS") of glass, as well as the ultimate service states (behavior after breakage "ELU"), and thus satisfy safety of use and European (CPD) and national regulations. It should be remembered that annealed and toughened glass are not considered safety glass by building codes. Tempered glass as a product can, in certain cases, be considered as safety glass in terms of impact resistance. However, it may be subject to spontaneous and unpredictable breakage due to nickel...
