This specification sets out performance requirements and test methods for safety glazing materials for use in buildings in areas where human impact is likely. The materials specified are glazing panels designed to promote safety and to reduce or minimize the likelihood of cutting and piercing injuries from human impact.
Clear, tinted and patterned safety glazing materials, and opaque glazing materials used as spandrel panels in locations subject to human impact are included in this specification.
Glazing materials such as sealants and beads and added precautions that may be necessary to combat fire hazards are not covered within the scope of this standard.
NOTE - Notes on safe performance criteria and human dynamics data are given in Annex G.
