ASTM International Subcommittee E54.05 on Building and Infrastructure Protection is working on ASTM WK18256 - Guide for the Physical Protection of Control Rooms for Infrastructure Facilities Against Forced Entry and Ballistics Attack.
ASTM WK18256 is for the design and renovation of control rooms and enclosures for infrastructure facilities, providing designers with a checklist to ensure that all procedures were followed regarding adequate security and protection.
According to James Stapleton, president and CEO of Habersham Metal Products Co. and chair of Task Group E54.05.02 on Building Exteriors, ASTM WK18256 will cover all aspects of control rooms including walls and ceilings, which are considered part of the security envelope.
Other aspects of control rooms to be considered include forced entry and ballistic-resistant doors, windows and other opening protectives such as heating, ventilating and air conditioning (HVAC) louvers, roof hatches, vents and wiring chases.
Subcommittee E54.05 is under the jurisdiction of ASTM International Committee E54 on Homeland Security Applications.
