How do we Survey Glass Damage?

We inspect the glass, as per the GGF Quality of Vision guidelines below 

Stand in the room no less than 2 metres away from the sealed unit and look directly through it. 

• For toughened, laminated or coated glasses, stand no less than 3 metres away. 
• Where it is not possible to stand at the right distance then stand as far away as you can from the sealed unit. 
• Do so in natural daylight, but not directly towards the sun and with no visible moisture on the surface of the glass. 
• Exclude 50mm wide band around edge of the glass from the check. 
• Glass must be viewed at an angle of 90º

Flat transparent glass, including laminated, toughened or coated glass is acceptable if the following are neither obtrusive nor bunched:

• Bubbles or blisters
• Fine scratches not more than 25mm long
• Minute particles

The obtrusiveness of blemishes is judged by looking through the glass, not at it, under natural light. It must be understood that the glass used in sealed units is a processed glass, and as a consequence, blemishes are to be expected.
