1. NTC 1909

The NTC 1909 (Colombian Technical Standard) establishes the requirements for solar control glass and safety glass used in construction in Colombia. The purpose of this standard is to ensure that glass used in architectural projects meets safety and energy efficiency properties. It is commonly applied in glazing projects that aim to improve the thermal performance of buildings and ensure the safety of glass installations.

2. ASTM C1376

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

3. NSR-10

The NSR-10 (Seismic-Resistant Standard of 2010) is a Colombian regulation that governs construction to ensure structures can withstand seismic events. This standard is mandatory in Colombia and covers planning, design, and construction aspects, including the use of materials such as glass and aluminum, to guarantee the safety of buildings against earthquakes. The standard classifies seismic zones within the country and establishes specific requirements depending on the type of construction and the seismic risk level of each region.
