Specifies the requirements for bullet-resistant panels and elements according to their performance in preventing penetration by projectiles discharged from firearms under controlled conditions. This Standard applies to transparent, opaque and translucent panels.
Scope
This Standard specifies requirements for bullet-resistant panels and elements according to their performance in preventing penetration by projectiles discharged from firearms under controlled conditions. This Standard applies to transparent, opaque and translucent panels and other components including but not restricted to frames, mullions, voice transfer louvres and pass-through devices (elements).
This Standard does not include a requirement for the retention of bullet-resistant properties for a stated period of time nor requirements for certain other aspects such as the durability of the glazing. Such requirements may be nominated by a purchaser who will determine the criteria and agree to the method for demonstration of compliance.
NOTES:
1 Glazing panels that are much smaller than the type test samples, as described in this Standard, may provide less protection in service than is indicated by the performance of the samples.
2 Advisory information on the assessment of compliance with this Standard is given in Appendix A.
