Normative references The test was carried out in accordance with the requirements of the following documents: UNI 11678:2017 del 11/05/2017 Vetro per edilizia - Elementi di tamponamento in vetro aventi funzione anticaduta - Resistenza al carico statico lineare ed al carico dinamico - Metodi di Prova ( Building glass - Glass infill elements with anti-fall function - Resistance to linear static load and to dynamic load Test methods ); D.M. Infrastrutture (Ministry of Infrastructures Decree) dated 17/02/2018 Norme Tecniche per le costruzioni ( Technical standards for construction ), published in the Ordinary Supplement of Gazzetta Ufficiale (Official Journal) No. 42 dated 20/02/ General Series, limited to the test loads.

5 (Test report No dated 31/05/2018) sheet 5 of 13 follows Test apparatus Resistance to linear static horizontal loading The following equipment was used to carry out the test: steel frame simulating actual mounting of the sample to the floor with pneumatic load devices (apparatus in-house identification code: EDI048); 3 Gefran electronic displacement transducers model PZ-34-S150, full scale 150 mm, (apparatus inhouse identification codes FT45/1, FT451/2 and FT45/3); AEP Transducers S.r.l. load cell, model TS, measure range N (apparatus in-house identification code:edi104) together with datareader model DFI ; tapered tip carbide hammer, mass 75 g; Mitutoyo Corporation measuring tape model TD-S551D , full scla 5,5 m (apparatus in-house identification code: FT364). Resistance to dynamic load The following equipment was used to carry out the test: tempered steel ball hard impactor complying with clause of standard UNI 11678:2017 (apparatus in-house identification code EDI009); semi-rigid double-tyre impactor complying with clause of standard UNI 11678:2017, total mass 50 kg, (apparatus in-house identification code EDI012); WÜRTH ITALIA levelling rod (apparatus in-house identification code EDI083); steel spherical template, diameter 100 mm.

6 (Test report No dated 31/05/2018) sheet 6 of 13 follows Test method The test was performed using in-house detailed procedure PP083 in the version current at the date of testing, according to standard UNI 11678:2017 test method for group 1 functioning configuration, but using the book values of table 3.1.II Valori dei sovraccarichi per le diverse categorie di edifici ( Overload values for the different categories of buildings ) of D.M. Infrastrutture dated 17/02/2018. Each railing was only fixed inferiorly on the steel frame simulating the actual installation. Resistance to linear static horizontal loading. 3 transducers were placed on each railing to read the relative displacement of the top edge of the plate (two at the ends of the railing and one in the midpoint between them). The railing was then subjected to: 0,6 kn/m preload, equal to 30 % of serviceability limit load, per 5 min; removal of the preload and reset of the transducers to zero; application of the serviceability limit load, namely 2,0 kn/m, per 5 min, and record of the deformations under load; load removal and registration of residual deformation after 15 min; application of the ultimate limit load, namely 3,0 kn/m, per 5 min, and load removal; induced breakage of 1 glass pane subject directly to load; braking load namely 0,6 kn/m, equal to 30 % of serviceability limit load, after the breakage per 1 min. Dynamic load Each railing was subjected in a sequence to: hard body impact, mass 1 kg; semi-rigid body impact, mass 50 kg. All impacts were made by releasing the impactor so that it fell from a specified height with a pendulum movement and without initial velocity. The impactors were hung by an inextensible pendulum wire of negligible mass so that when at rest they made contact with the point of intended impact. After each impact, the impactors were prevented from hitting the railing again after bouncing.
