The purpose of reaction to fire testing is to determine whether a building fuels\u00a0a fire. Some fire reaction criteria may include the rate at which a flame spreads,\u00a0the ignitability when exposed to heat, the amount of heat, smoke, toxic gases,\u00a0and\/or flaming droplets\/particles, etc. Building materials must often be tested to\u00a0these types of standards to evaluate the performance of these materials when\u00a0exposed to heat and fire. ÁñÁ«¿¿±ÈÍøÕ¾ Armorcoat\u00ae 8 mil safety and security films\u00a0have been tested to these standards and have been proven to be safe building\u00a0materials that would not contribute to fire. (Note: these standards are not the\u00a0<\/em>same as fire resistance standards which measure the duration in time a product\u00a0can withstand a fire.<\/p>\n [\/vc_column_text] The purpose of these standards is to evaluate the performance of impact resistant materials when subjected to impact from small and large missiles followed by cycle pressure variations that simulate high winds during severe weather. These glazing systems are designed to protect against damage and water intrusion during severe weather. A glazing system includes the glazing, frame, attachment system and seals unless the product tested covers the entire opening such as storm shutters. ÁñÁ«¿¿±ÈÍøÕ¾ Armorcoat\u00ae 8 mil safety and security film has been tested to these standards on 3\/16″ tempered glass with a wet-glaze attachment system on standard commercial aluminium frames. <\/span> [\/vc_column_text] The purpose of burglary resistance testing is to determine the resistance capabilities of building materials including glazing. These materials are subjected to various amounts of force from varying objects from small hand tools to power tools. These objects, repeated number of blows and time are used to determine the level of performance given to the tested material. ÁñÁ«¿¿±ÈÍøÕ¾ Armorcoat\u00ae 14 mil safety and security film has been tested to these standards and have demonstrated the ability to resist certain levels of forced entry.<\/span><\/p>\n [\/vc_column_text] Currently, there are no codes specifying the performance of glazing <\/span> [\/vc_column_text] [vc_row top_margin=”none” bottom_margin=”2x” gmbt_prlx_bg_type=”parallax” gmbt_prlx_break_parents=”0″ gmbt_prlx_smooth_scrolling=”” gmbt_prlx_video_mute=”” gmbt_prlx_video_force_hd=”” gmbt_prlx_opacity=”100″ gmbt_prlx_video_aspect_ratio=”16:9″ gmbt_prlx_parallax=”none” gmbt_prlx_speed=”0.3″ gmbt_prlx_enable_mobile=””][vc_column][vc_tta_accordion style=”flat” shape=”square” color=”white” active_section=”100″ collapsible_all=”true”][vc_tta_section title=”SAFETY GLAZING” tab_id=”1455126129251-f9223b91-e2d8″][vc_column_text]The purpose of these standards is to determine the safety performance characteristics of glazing materials designed to reduce or minimise cutting or piercing injuries when the glazing is broken by human contact.
