SAFETY & SECURITY TESTING STANDARDSGLASSPROTECH WINDOW FILM TECHNICAL REFERENCE MANUALSUMMARYGLASSPROTECH Safety films increase the break strength of glass, reducing the risk of breakage & provideeffective defence from glass fragments and splinters in the event of glass breaking. Shattered glass causedby natural disasters, terrorism, burglary or accidental breakage is a threat to us all, at work, at home, inpublic places. GLASSPROTECH Safety films offer reduced risk of breakage, protection from glass shards,shield from UV radiation, solar heat control (combined films), combat graffiti and answer the requirementsof insurance companies for commercial buildings & shop front protection.4, 7, 8, and 12 mil (100, 175, 200 and 300micron) clear safety & security films feature superb opticaltransparency and a scratch resistant coating. Safety Films are also available for external (outdoor) use with arobust scratch resistant coating. The thicker the film the greater resistance to breakage:The main difference between film and laminated glass is that the film can be applied to the glass or glazingafter manufacture or installation, i.e., it is a retrofit product. These films are used widely all over the world;they can be found on trains, buses, cars, and buildings.Safety and security films can have components added, such as for solar control and decorative effects.TESTS AND ACCREDITATIONSafety and security window films are designed to perform under adverse conditions. As such, standards andstandard tests have been devised to ensure that these films will perform in such a situation. There are fourbest-known organizations that produce standards and guidelines for how a film performs under impact (seetable below).Organization Relevant Standard DescriptionBritish StandardsInstitutionAmerican NationalStandards InstituteEuropean Committee forStandardizationConsumer Product SafetyCommission (CPSC)General ServicesAdministration (GSA)BS 6206 (Class A, B & C)ANSI Z97.1EN1260016 CFR 1201.4GSA-TS01-2003British standard impact testing for annealed glasswith applied safety filmAmerican Impact testing for annealed glass withapplied safety filmList of EN standards European standard Classificationof Resistance of Glazing to Impact.(American) Impact testing for annealed glass withapplied safety filmStandard Test Method for Glazing and WindowSystems Subject to Dynamic Overpressure LoadingsGLASSPROTECH Window Film Technical Reference Manual Copyright © Page 3
GLASSPROTECH WINDOW FILM TECHNICAL REFERENCE MANUALANCHORING SYSTEMWhilst the GLASSPROTECH Security Films grip the glass fragments, an Anchoring system secures the film to thewindow frame, maximizing the effectiveness of the film, and helping to prevent collapse of the window. The anchoringsystem is recommended for use in shop-front protection, high security institutions or public areas vulnerable to unrestor attack.TESTING PROTOCOLS FOR FILM PERFORMANCEThe following tables detail the internationally recognised testing’s completed for the range of clear Safety & Securityfilms.
