NGA volunteers update Glass Technical Papers (GTPs) through the systematic review ballot process on a 5-year cycle. The GTP FB71-24 School Security Glazing has been updated and is now available to download for free in the NGA Store.
Protecting students and teachers remains a major concern across the country, and glass can help. This updated resource provides information on security (delayed forced entry) glazing options for windows and doors installed in schools. It is important to determine the assets, the potential threats and hazards, and the level of vulnerability in order to know what level of testing or certification is required, before specifying the glazing. Many test standards are available to determine the suitability of glass for safety applications. This document is a guide to the standardized methods recommended and used by the glass industry.
NGA offers over 90 Glass Technical Papers free to download for everyone. Find them in the NGA Store.
