The goal of this Glass Technical Paper is to establish a voluntary measurable industry acceptable color variance for decorative glazing products that could be used as a baseline for specification. If specific color tolerances are required, the responsibility is on the purchaser to clearly communicate these requirements and on the fabricator to accept and agree to the request.

 

This document is not meant to replace or supersede job requirements or override specific vendor specifications. This document covers measuring color tolerances, both reflected and transmitted, of decorative glazing with solid uniform color applied as a pigmented coating or interlayer. Decorative glazing with solid patterns or graphics may not be measurable with the methods covered in this document and, therefore, is outside of its scope.
