FOREWORD Where glazing material is so situated that accidental breakage is reasonably foreseeable, the glazing materials materials and thickness thicknesses es require required d for wind loading loading may not be adequat adequate. e. Whil Whilee the the accide accident nt rate rate throu through gh brea breakag kagee of glazi glazing ng mater material ial glazed glazed at low level level is sign signifi ifica cant nt amon among g most most age age grou groups ps,, it is part partic icul ular arly ly high high in the the age age grou groups ps up to 19 years. Research in the United Kingdom, New Zealand and Australia has shown that a high proportion of all reported accidents with glazing material involve glazed doors and side panels in all types of buildings. In certain specialized rooms, such as gymnasiums, breakage of glazing material located at high level is also a potential danger. In these and othe otherr simil similar ar dang danger er area areas, s, safe safety ty glazin glazing g mater materia ials ls meeti meeting ng the the requ require ireme ments nts of this this specification will reduce the risk of injury.

Although these safety glazing materials will break under sufficient impact their fracture characteristics are such that if broken the likelihood of cutting and piercing injuries will be minimized. The The aim of the impa impact ct test test is to asse assess ss the the fract fractur uree chara characte cteri rist stics ics of a safet safety y glazin glazing g materia materiall which which has been been broken broken at some some predete predetermin rmined ed minimum minimum impact impact energy energy level level depend dependent ent upon upon the intende intended d applica application tion of the materia material. l. If the safety safety glazing glazing materia materiall does not fracture at this minimum energy level, it must again be tested at higher energy levels until it is fractured, in order that the fracture characteristics can be assessed.
