Rationale

Currently, ASTM C 1048 is used as a quality standard for enamels. The specification is intended for heat-strengthened and tempered flat glass. The original intent was to include spandrel glass into the standard. Due to the lack of a standard addressing enameled glass on annealed and laminated glass and non-spandrel applications, C 1048 is being applied in unintended applications. Changing C 1048 to address these new concerns would push the existing standard outside its intended scope.
