1、Designation: C1503 18Standard Specification forSilvered Flat Glass Mirror1This standard is issued under the fixed designation C1503; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of last revision. A number in parentheses

2、 indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 This specification covers the requirements for silveredflat glass mirrors of rectangular shape supplied as cut sizes,stock sheets, or as lehr ends and to wh

3、ich no further processing(such as edgework or other fabrication) has been done.1.2 This specification covers the quality requirements ofsilvered annealed monolithic clear and tinted flat glass mirrorsonly, up to 6 mm (14 in.) thick. The mirrors are intended to beused indoors for mirror glazing, for
