Layering Standards: Building Truly Secure Detention Glazing
As incidents of violence escalate in detention centers and behavioral health facilities, the conversation around safety is shifting.
For decades, ASTM F1915 was the benchmark standard for detention glazing, but meeting this one standard may not address the full spectrum of threats.
To better align with real-world risk, professionals are layering ASTM F1915 with other standards like ASTM F1233 and UL 752 to cover blunt force, sustained forced-entry, and ballistic threats.
ASTM F1915 evaluates glazing performance against three common attack types:
- blunt impact
- sharp instrument strikes
- localized flame exposure
Designed specifically for corrections and psychiatric applications
