Hello,

I was asked to assist in answering a few questions on a gov't product safety 
assessment checklist. One question asked if all glass was of the 
non-shatterable type. 

When considering VDT's(CRT's), are there any specific requirements in regards 
to the type of glass use in their construction? e.g. non-shatterable. EN60950 
mentions IEC65 and UL1950 mentions UL1418 in regards to Implosion protection. 
Do these standards make any mention of the type of glass or are they primarily 
concerned with what happens if it breaks? Along with IEC950 would these two 
standards be the primary standards which VTD's are designed to with respect to 
product safety?

Thanks,
