TS ISO 3536

TS ISO 3536 is a vocabulary standard that brings together terms and definitions related to safety glazing materials used in road vehicles. Its focus is therefore on the language of the subject rather than on the glazing product itself, helping ensure that technical terms such as safety glazing types, fracture behavior and impact-related concepts are used consistently.

The technical framework behind safety glazing terminology

In general technical usage, safety glazing for road vehicles refers to glass materials designed to support occupant protection while preserving driver visibility. Common industry concepts include laminated glass, tempered glass and other safety-oriented glazing solutions. Vocabulary standards of this kind help manufacturers, suppliers, test laboratories and vehicle designers use the same terms with the same meaning. That reduces ambiguity and supports clearer communication across documents, markets and engineering teams.

What this standard covers

• It covers terms relating to safety glazing materials for road vehicles.
• It aims to establish a shared technical vocabulary and consistent definitions.
• It is a terminology standard, not a product performance test standard.
• TS ISO 3536 was published based on ISO 3536:1992 and has since been withdrawn.

Standards of this type are especially useful when preparing specifications, technical files and product descriptions. In road-vehicle glazing work, precise terminology helps reduce misunderstandings and makes it easier to refer to the same component consistently across design, quality and regulatory documents.
