Should safety glazing be identified with a temporary label etched into one corner of the glazing?

Safety glazing does not need to be identified with a temporary label etched into one corner of the glazing. In fact, permanent markings or labels are typically required to indicate that the glazing is safety glazing, but these are not temporary and should be clear during the lifetime of the installation. Building codes usually mandate that safety glazing be marked with specific information, such as the manufacturer's name, the type of glazing, and compliance with safety standards, but this marking should not be temporary.

The presence of a label is meant to inform both installation professionals and building inspectors that the glass used complies with safety standards, which is crucial for preventing injuries in case of breakage. Therefore, the notion that it should have a temporary label is misleading; permanent identification is the standard approach.
