Posted By Philip Roberts Neil, If you cannot determine the intergral safety of the glass it can be made safer by the use of pastic type film.Film such as that used for anti glare on windows would prevent the glass shattering in case of accidental damage, Regards Phil Roberts

Posted By Chris Turner Chris, Have you tried contacting the Glazing and Glass Federation? regards Chris T

Posted By Lance Morgan I may be wrong but I am sure you can get plastic mirrors now i.e. plastic/perspex sheet with a reflective plastic layer. These will negate the need for glass. Sorry i don't know a source. There must be a standard for toughened glass mirrors as I have seen these used in some diy wardrobes that have large sliding doors.

Posted By Ken Taylor Assessment is required for glass windows and transparent or translucent doors, gates and walls under the Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992 and generally under the Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999. The Glass and Glazing Association have a leaflet explaining the British Standards and you will see that thickness, size and position are factors as well as whether glass is laminated or toughened. Where installed glass isn't kite-marked or otherwise marked to indicate that it has been toughened to meet the BS, it may be cut laminated glass. If you cannot see the exposed edge to detect the plastic in the glass 'sandwich', you can measure the thickness. This is on the basis that annealed glass is manufactured in standard thicknesses (eg 3mm, 4mm, etc) whereas laminated glass will have a 'more than standard thickness' (eg 6.3mm consisting of 2x 3mm glass sheets and 0.3 mm of plastic and adhesive). Sharples Engineering do an expensive safety glass indicator kit for those who are really serious - or there is a folded piece of cardboard with a scale printed in mirror-writing for those trying to measure installed glass thickness with access to one side only.
