ASTM F1233: Standard Test Method for Security Glazing Materials And Systems

This test method sets forth procedures whose purpose is limited to the evaluation of the resistance of security glazing materials and systems against the following threats:

Ballistic Impact,

Blunt Tool Impacts,

Sharp Tool Impacts,

Thermal Stress, and

Chemical Deterioration.

NOTE 1—Specifically exempted from this test method are the use of power (motor or engine-driven) tools or devices, explosives, military ordinance (excepting small arms) and tools, processes or devices requiring more than two persons to transport and operate.

The values stated in inch-pounds are to be regarded as the standard. The values given in parentheses are for information only.

This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use. For a specific warning statement, see Warning in 10.1.1.6.
