contractors and suppliers in a variety of categories.

Labeling
Lite
New rules from the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) require
glass manufacturers’ certifications of compliance with CPSC 16 CFR
1201 to include several new pieces of information. Make sure you’re
up-to-date.
Tempering
Very Thin Glass
Tempering very thin glass for windows, curtainwall or solar modules has
been a challenge in the past. A new process using radio wave energy could
allow fabricators to temper glass measuring less than 3-mm thick.
