Closing out the NGA Glass Conference will be a Laminating Workshop: Past, Present and Future of Laminated Glass Qualification. Recent changes to the Safety Glazing Certification Council laminated glass certification requirements will lead to an evolution in the nomenclature and shorthand used for describing and specifying laminated glass units.
