Lifespan tested.
Durability proven.
smart glass in action since 2006.
ec | smart glass | 2 is the second generation of our smart glass. We have been developing, producing and installing intelligent glazing since 2006. From this experience and a real aging and usage process, we have since been able to gain a lot of knowledge about the conditions that lead to a long lifespan electronically and in terms of software.
This means that the durability of ec | smart glass | 2 is not only tested in the laboratory but also proven on the facade.
All our glass is tested at an accredited body according to the applicable standards. See the Certifications section below for more information.
The electronics of our smart glass are subject to very low loads. In addition, current only flows during the switching process. Both are a benefit for their long-life cycle.
The connecting cables used come from the alarm glass sector and have been tried and tested for many years and are therefore long-lasting.

150,000 switching cycles.
20 years minimum.
So far there are no special standards for dimmable glazing in Europe. That is why EControl-Glas continuously tests its glass in accelerated aging and long-term tests. Many glass products have now switched 150,000 times from the brightest to the darkest level and back again.
In addition, ec | smart glass | 2 is subjected to all the usual tests for glazing, whose parameters EControl-Glas increased significantly again. This enables us to achieve an expected lifespan of at least 20 years, during which the dimming remains unchanged. This also corresponds to the time for which standard insulating glass is designed.
- Test according to EN 12543-4 on EC-VG/Ec-VSG: Resistance to humidity, temperature and UV (IFT)
- Test according to EN 1279-2 on EC-ISO: Long-term test methods and requirements regarding moisture absorption (IFT)
- Test according to 1279-3 on EC-ISO: Long-term test for gas loss rate and gas concentration (IFT)
- Test according to EN 12150 on ESG (factory production control)
- Test according to EN 1863 on TVG (factory production control)
- Test according to EN 14179 on heat-soaked ESG (factory production control)
- Test according to EN 14449 on VSG
- Determination of lighting data by an accredited institute (Kiwa Institut Magdeburg)
- Visual inspection according to the leaflet of the Bundesverband Flachglas
These tests are carried out in addition to the standard requirements.
- In-depth incoming goods inspection of raw glass (spectra resistance)
- Spectral measurements, layer thickness measurements, electrochemical instant measurements during production
- Visual and electronic inspection after each work step
- Long-term tests of the switching function
- Field / external test ISO & EC
Safe to use.
Certified for every application.
ec | smart glass | 2 meets the current standards for glazing. For example, fall protection, facade and roof glazing, accessibility for cleaning purposes, etc.
ec | smart glass | 2 laminated glass conforms to
- the test report 605 33082 of ift-Rosenheim DIN EN ISO 12543-4 and the
- internal quality control
the conformity requirements for European Community products.
ec | smart glass | 2 can also be produced for roof designs with the additional requirement “Accessibility for cleaning purposes”.
Various approvals are available for this in individual cases. Alternatively there is the possibility of an expert opinion.
ec | smart glass | 2 glazing, up to a maximum size of 1350 x 3300 mm, has a General Building Inspection Certificate (ABP) for fall-proof glazing.
EControl-Glas uses TVG with a conductive coating as the base product for the laminated glass. For this and for other product combinations, we have a declaration of conformity from a third-party monitoring institute.
ec | smart glass | 2 has tested selected combinations for sound insulation structures according to DIN EN 20140 and DIN EN ISO 10140 airborne sound insulation. In this respect, there are numerous test certificates and test reports from test laboratories available.
Please request test reports from us in accordance with your individual requirements. Test reports up to 50 dB are currently available. Combinations going beyond this can be implemented individually.
Appropriate test reports from IFT Rosenheim are available for the glass products from EControl-Glas.
The lighting and energy technology values of ec | smart glass | 2 were checked and confirmed.
In this respect, we have the certificate of Kiwa Magdeburg.
