1. Standard NTC 1909

NTC 1909 (Colombian Technical Standard) establishes the requirements for solar control glass and safety glass used in construction in Colombia. This standard aims to ensure that glass used in architectural projects complies with safety and energy efficiency properties. It is commonly used in glazing projects that seek to improve the thermal efficiency of buildings and ensure the safety of glazed installations.

2. ASTM C1376

ASTM C1376 is an international standard that specifies requirements for pyrolytic and vacuum deposition coatings applied to flat glass. These coatings are applied primarily to control solar heat gain, improve energy efficiency, provide comfort and optimize aesthetics in buildings. The standard ensures that these coatings meet optical and aesthetic quality standards, and is mainly used in the construction industry for buildings with large glazed surfaces.

3. NSR-10

NSR-10 (Norma Sismo Resistente de 2010) is a Colombian standard that regulates buildings to ensure that they are resistant to seismic events. This standard is mandatory in Colombia and covers the planning, design and construction of buildings, including the use of materials such as glass and aluminum, to ensure the safety of structures against earthquakes. The standard classifies the seismic zones of the country and establishes specific requirements according to the type of construction and seismic risk of each region.
