The European Standard EN 1288-3 regulates the four-point bending test for flat glass in order to receive strength data. No testing code for determining material properties of curved glass exists today. Therefore, the knowledge from flat glass testing might be transferred to curved glass in order to reduce the testing complexity. An adaption of the experimental set-up is possible and creates reproducible results. Those can be used to create a finite element model for further analysis. In conclusion it is possible to determine a simplified connection between load and maximum tensile stress using newly defined correlation factors in the style of EN 1288-3. By means of these factors strength testing of bent glass can be performed according to the standard without applying strain gauges.
