1.1''This specification specifies requirements for ballistic-resistant barriers to be used in homeland security or public safety applications for protection against complete penetration of projectiles from small arms2. The purpose of this specification is to define baseline performance for ballistic-resistant barriers.

1.2''Items covered by this specification may be rigid or flexible barriers of uniform ballistic layup that are either temporarily or permanently installed. Examples of products include cubicle partitions; non-structural barriers; security checkpoint barriers; and barriers installed in judges''' benches, school safe rooms, and service counters.

1.2.1''This specification addresses two configurations of barriers: (1) stand-alone and (2) in conjunction.

1.2.2''For barriers that include a viewport(s), each viewport shall be tested in accordance with Test Method E3141/E3141M.

1.2.3''This specification is not intended to address architectural products covered by ASTM Committees F12 and F33, such as building materials and security glazing.

1.3''This specification defines ballistic performance categories, and the supplier shall declare the ballistic performance category(ies) for testing to this specification.

1.4''This specification requires both Resistance to Penetration (RTP) Testing and Ballistic Limit (V50) Testing.

1.4.1''In addition to the required tests, an optional test with specific temperature conditions is provided that allows testing beyond the minimum requirements of this specification. See Appendix X1. Statements of conformance with this specification shall not include any optional tests unless the optional test is conducted, and the results are included in the test report.

1.5''This specification requires testing of ballistic-resistant barriers in one of the following two ways:

1.5.1''Stand-alone Products'''Test items shall be shoot packs, armor coupons, or actual products mounted in a test fixture with air backing.

1.5.2''In Conjunction Products'''Test items shall be actual products mounted in the intended use configuration, including mounting hardware and any materials expected to be in front of and behind the product.

1.6''It is anticipated that this specification will be referenced by certifiers, purchasers, or other users to meet their specific needs.

1.7''Selection and procurement guidance is provided in Appendix X2 to assist purchasers in using this specification.

1.8''The values stated in either SI units or inch-pound units are to be regarded separately as standard. The values stated in each system are not necessarily exact equivalents; therefore, to ensure conformance with the standard, each system shall be used independently of the other, and values from the two systems shall not be combined.

1.8.1''The user of this standard will identify the system of units to be used, and it is critical to ensure that any cross-referenced standards maintain consistency of units between standards.

1.9''This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety, health, and environmental practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.

1.10''This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.
