Scope1.1 This specification covers the requirements for silveredflat glass mirrors of rectangular shape supplied as cut sizes,stock sheets, or as lehr ends and to wh
3、ich no further processing(such as edgework or other fabrication) has been done.1.2 This specification covers the quality requirements ofsilvered annealed monolithic clear and tinted flat glass mirrorsonly, up to 6 mm (14 in.) thick. The mirrors are intended to beused indoors for mirror glazing, for
4、components of decorativeaccessories or for similar uses.1.3 This specification does not address safety glazing ma-terials nor requirements for mirror applications. Consult modelbuilding codes and other applicable standards for safetyglazing applications.1.4 Mirrors covered in this specification are
