We check for safety marking in critical locations as part of every survey.
Certain positions are classed as critical locations — low-level glazing, panels beside doors and anything within reach of a stair. Glass in those positions has to be toughened or laminated, and it must carry a permanent mark identifying it.

Certain positions are classed as critical locations — low-level glazing, panels beside doors and anything within reach of a stair. Glass in those positions has to be toughened or laminated, and it must carry a permanent mark identifying it.
Toughened glass breaks into blunt granules; laminated glass holds together on an interlayer and stays in the opening. Which is appropriate depends on whether the priority is safe breakage or continued security after breakage.
Checking is straightforward. There should be a small etched mark in a corner of the pane, and its absence in a critical location is worth raising whatever else is being done.
