Checks 1–2: configuration and dimensions
First establish whether the documented product and assembly match the proposal. Then compare dimensions, orientation and use. Check glass, frame, seals, fixings and supporting construction. List any deviations for the appropriate technical review; a similar name or identical rating does not establish equivalence.
Checks 3–4: edges and exposure
Edges bring together retention, sealing and support, so review load transfer and material compatibility. Exposure includes indoor or outdoor use, sunlight, temperature differences, humidity and semi-exterior conditions. Read fire and durability evidence separately before considering how they address the proposed application.
Check 5: installation and change control
Translate the design into installation instructions covering materials, sequence, tolerances and inspection points. Proposed changes to glass, framing, seals or hardware should return to the configuration and evidence review. Close the assessment with a record of confirmed items, open deviations and responsible parties.
Project review checklist
- Does the configuration match, including dimensions and orientation?
- Are support, edges and exposure addressed?
- Are installation instructions and change responsibilities clear?
