Introduction The US General Services Administration, GSA, has continued to upgrade the mandate requirements regarding glass and shatter resistance. Meeting the government requirements for personal safety may require upgrading existing glass. Whether the glass breaks due to forced entry, seismic activity or bomb blast, minimizing the flight path of the glass will minimize the danger to human life. The GSA has set forth standards regarding window film application and attachment systems. When applied correctly by a certified installation team, Safety and Security Window Film will minimize flying glass shards in blast situations. WINGARD – WINdow Glazing Analysis Response and Design is a computer program available from the GSA (www.oca.gsa.gov). This program is the GSA and ISC standard for the analysis and design of windows subjected to blast loads. For a basic understanding, please refer to the graph listed below along with the definitions of each level of protection.
Glass with no protection Glass with film, daylight application Glass with film and 4 sided attachment system
In the United States we have daily occurrences of blast. This information is collected and analyzed by the U.S. Bomb Data Center (USBDC). Its purpose is to collect data and to provide investigators with analytical products to assist in the investigation of the criminal misuse of explosives and acts of arson. According to findings, from 2004 to 2006 there were over 10,000 total explosive incidents in the United States. Within that number, over 1,500 of those incidents were actual bomb incidents that lead to over 500 injuries and 68 fatalities. For more information go to www.atf.gov
