Safety
Safety
► Corning® Med-X® LT Glass is qualified with the most stringent Impact Safety Sandards for glazing:
- EN 12600 (Europe)
- Cat II CFR Part 16#1201 (United States)
► Limits the risk of injury in case of impact
Corning® Med-X® LT Glass is a laminated glass.
In case of impact, numerous cracks could appear but fragments are being held together: no projection of glass.
► Protects people against ionizing radiation
Corning® Med-X® LT Glass offers excellent radiation protection performance: 1.2 mmPb to 2.6 mmPb lead equivalence at 150kV tested according to international standard IEC 61 331:2014.

Technical Information
Corning® Med-X® LT Glass is qualified according to the most stringent international standards
► IEC 61331:2014
► EN12600
► US CFR 16 Cat.2
Corning® Med-X® LT Glass passed with success the safety glazing impact tests
Safety glass tests reveal how the glass will behave when subjected to an impact of about 50 kg at different drop heights: from a few centimeters to more than 1.20 m (equivalent to an adult hitting the glass unintentionally or a child landing on it accidentally).
All tests are performed by accredited independent laboratories.
