DEPARTMENT OF STANDARDS MALAYSIA

DEVELOPMENT OF MALAYSIAN STANDARDS


The Department of Standards Malaysia (STANDARDS MALAYSIA) is the national
standardisation and accreditation body.
The main function of the Department is to foster and promote standards,
standardisation and accreditation as a means of advancing the national economy,
promoting industrial efficiency and development, benefiting the health and safety of
the public, protecting the consumers, facilitating domestic and international trade and
furthering international cooperation in relation to standards and standardisation.
Malaysian Standards are developed through consensus by committees which
comprise of balanced representation of producers, users, consumers and others with
relevant interests, as may be appropriate to the subject in hand. To the greatest
extent possible, Malaysian Standards are aligned to or are adoption of international
standards. Approval of a standard as a Malaysian Standard is governed by the
Standards of Malaysia Act 1996 (Act 549). Malaysian Standards are reviewed
periodically. The use of Malaysian Standards is voluntary except in so far as they are
made mandatory by regulatory authorities by means of regulations, local by-laws or
any other similar ways.
The Department of Standards appoints SIRIM Berhad as the agent to develop
Malaysian Standards. The Department also appoints SIRIM Berhad as the agent for
distribution and sale of Malaysian Standards.

FOREWORD
This Malaysian Standard was developed by the Technical Committee on Household Fittings
and Building Accessories under the authority of the Industry Standards Committee on
Building and Civil Engineering.
This Malaysian Standards is the first revision of MS 1135, Specification for float glass and
polished plate glasses.
Major modifications in this revision are as follows:
a)

the title has been changed to Float and polished plate glasses - specification

b)

the scope has been revised to exclude the vehicle usage;

c)

incorporation of new clauses on Definitions, light transmittance and solar


transmittance and Glass chemical composition;

d)

changes to the term grade (Grade A and Grade B) to quality (Q1 and Q2); and

e)

amendment made to 5.1 (g) of the original standard.

This Malaysian Standard cancels and replaces MS 1135:1989.


Compliance with a Malaysian Standard does not itself confer immunity from legal obligations.

FLOAT AND POLISHED PLATE GLASSES - SPECIFICATION


1. Scope
This Malaysian Standard specifies the transparent, highly flat and glossy float glass and
polished plate glass used mainly for windows, doors, mirrors and others for use in buildings
and other applications, hereinafter referred to as the float and polished plate glass.

2. Normative references
The following normative references are indispensable for the application of this standard. For
dated references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of
the normative reference (including any amendments) applies.
ISO 9050, Glass in building - Determination of light transmittance, solar direct transmittance,
total solar energy transmittance, ultraviolet transmittance and related glazing factors

3. Definitions
For the purpose of this standard, the following definitions apply.
3.1

Glass

An inorganic product of fusion which has cooled to a rigid condition without crystallising.
Glass is typically hard and brittle. It may be colorless or tinted and transparent to opaque due
to presence of dissolve amorphous or crystalline material. Glass that does not contain such
added material is designated as clear (transparent Class I) in this specification, even though
the finished product may not be transparent in ordinary sense as result of the pattern (wired,
figured, corrugated). Flat glass is also known by its process of manufacture as sheet, polished
plate glass, float or patterned glass.
3.2

Annealed glass

Sheet, plate, float or roiled glass that is processing allowable residual internal stresses so that
it can be freely cut.
3.3

Float glass

Flat transparent, clear or tinted soda-lime silicate glass having parallel and polished faces
obtained by continuous casing and floatation on a metal bath.
3.4

Tinted glass

Glass formulated to give light or heat of both, reducing capability and color.
3.5

Cut sizes

Glass ordered cut to its final intended sizes.

3.6.3

Ream and body nonuniformity

A linear distortion due to non-homogenous layers of flat glass.


3.6.4 Hairline
Damage on glass surface in the form of a line caused by the relative movement of an object
across and in contact with the glass surface.
3.6.5

Face hazing

A stain appear on the surface of glass that disminishes visibility.


3.6.6

Crazing

Fine crack on the surface of the glass.


3.6.7

Swelling

Slight surface blemishes that originated in the process that can be small particles of foreign
materials on either surface or surface irregularities.
3.6.8

Waving

Defect resulting from irregularities at the surface of the glass making objects viewed at
varying angles, appear wavy or bent.
3.6.9

Chip and flare

A circular indentation in the glass edge due to breakage of a small fragment out of an
otherwise regular surface.
3.6.10 Warpage
Glass is not in straight or flat condition, may be bow or dish.

3.7 Light transmittance


Measure transmittance by illuminating each specimen at normal incidence with light having
the spectral composition of International Commission on Illuminance (CIE). Measure the ratio
of transmittance to incident luminous flux by calculation from the spectral distribution of
illuminant D65 as defined ISO 9050.

condition and with properties that are presumed uniform.
3.13 Sample size
Number of glasses to be tested for each property.
3.14 Sampling
3.14.1 The sampling location shall be subjected to agreement between the consumer and
the inspector.
3.14.2 One or more representative of each party concerned may be present at the time
sample is taken.
3.14.3 Samples shall take at random from the inspection lot and each shall be packed
separately and shall be sealed and marked as agreed by the parties concern.
3.15 Inspection

9.1

Quality

The test on quality shall be made as follows:


a) bubbles, chips and flares shall be measured with a metallic straight measure, granuated
to 0.5 mm;
b) inclusion shall be measured with a scaled magnifier granuated to 0.1 mm;
c) reams, body nonuniformity and hairlines shall be viewed at about 500 mm distance in
front of the specimen, and measured with a metallic straight measure, granuated to 0.5
mm or steel tape measure, granuated to 1 mm;
d) face hazing and crazing shall be viewed at about 500 mm distance in front of the
specimen;
e) for swelling and crazing shall observe an object placed not more than 5 m distance from
the specimen through its part at eye-height from a point about 500 mm distance from its
face, while moving in parallel with its face, so that the incident angle is 60;
f)

waves shall be examined by looking through the specimen at about 4.5 m distance from
it, in a direction so that the incident angle to it is as given in Table 11 while observing a
screen set up perpendicularly to the line of vision at about 4.5 m distance away from the
specimen, horizontally over the whole width of the nearly middle part of the specimen.
The specimen shall be held with the direction of drawing in the plate manufacturing
process c) vertical. On the face of the screen shall be drawn a parallel straight black and
white stripe pattern of which each stripe is 25 mm wide and inclined 45 from the vertical.
The face shall be mat (see Figure 2);
