Designation:F300613An American National StandardStandard Specification forBall Drop Impact Resistance of Laminated Architectural FlatGlazing1This standard is issued under the fixed designation F3006;the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or,in the case of revision,the year of last revision.A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval.Asuperscript epsilon()indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1.Scope1.1 This specification covers the destructive ball drop test-ing of laminated flat glass products intended for use inarchitectural glazing applications.1.2 This specification is intended for use as an in-plantquality control test to evaluate the impact performance oflaminated flat glass when a 2.3 kg,83 mm diameter smoothsolid steel ball is dropped from a specified height.1.3 This specification does not yield data that is a substitutefor safety glazing test requirements ofANSI Z97.1 or CPSC 16CFR 1201.Qualification under this specification provides abasis for judgment of the ability of specimens to withstand theappropriate shot-bag impact.This specification provides amechanism to allow fabricators a less cumbersome and lowercost method for the evaluation of impact performance that maybe performed on a frequent basis while reducing the amount ofwaste materials generated from traditional impact tests.1.4 This specification is applicable to symmetrical andasymmetricalannealed,heat-strengthened,chemicallystrengthened,fully tempered laminated architectural flat glassincluding but not limited to:float,patterned,sheet,sand-blasted,grooved,and fritted.1.5 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded asstandard.No other units of measurement are included in thisstandard.1.6 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns,if any,associated with its use.It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.Some specifichazards statements are given in Section 4 on Hazards.2.Referenced Documents2.1 ASTM Standards:2C162 Terminology of Glass and Glass ProductsC1036 Specification for Flat GlassC1048 Specification for Heat-Strengthened and Fully Tem-pered Flat GlassC1172 Specification for Laminated Architectural Flat GlassC1422 Specification for Chemically Strengthened Flat GlassE631 Terminology of Building ConstructionsF30072.2 ANSI Standards:3Z26.1 American National Standard for Safety Glazing Ma-terials for Glazing Motor Vehicles and Motor VehicleEquipment Operating on Land HighwaysSafety Stan-dardZ97.1 American National Standard for Safety Glazing Ma-terials Used in BuildingsSafety Performance Specifica-tion and Methods of Test2.3 Other Standards:CPSC 16 CFR 1201 Safety Standard for Architectural Glaz-ing Materials4GANA LD-100-06 Standard Test Method for Ball DropImpact of Laminated Architectural Flat Glass53.Terminology3.1 Definitions:3.1.1 For definition of terms used in this specification,referto Terminologies C162 and E631.1This specification is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee F12 onSecurity Systems and Equipment and is the direct responsibility of SubcommitteeF12.10 on Systems Products and Services.Current edition approved Aug.1,2013.Published August 2013.DOI:10.1520/F300613.2For referenced ASTM standards,visit the ASTM website,www.astm.org,orcontact ASTM Customer Service at serviceastm.org.For Annual Book of ASTMStandards volume information,refer to the standards Document Summary page onthe ASTM website.3Available from American National Standards Institute(ANSI),25 W.43rd St.,4th Floor,New York,NY 10036,http:/www.ansi.org.4Available from U.S.Consumer Product Safety Commission(CPSC),4330 EastWest Hwy.,Bethesda,MD 20814,http:/www.cpsc.gov.5Available from Glass Association of North America(GANA),LaminatingDivision,2945 SW Wanamaker Dr.,Suite A,Topeka,KS 66614-5321,http:/.Copyright ASTM International,100 Barr Harbor Drive,PO Box C700,West Conshohocken,PA 19428-2959.United States1 3.2 Definitions of Terms Specific to This Standard:3.2.1 asymmetricala term used to describe the construc-tion of a laminate comprised of dissimilar glass types orthicknesses,or both.An example of an asymmetrical construc-tion is:3 mm annealed glass 0.76 mm PVB interlayer 6 mmannealed glass.3.2.2 glass/plastic laminatesa manufactured assemblyconsisting of at least one layer of glass and at least one layer ofplastic glazing sheet material bonded together with an inter-layer.3.2.3 multi-ply laminatesa laminated glazing consisting ofmore than two layers of glass or plastic glazing sheet material,or both,bonded together by an interlayer between each sheet ofglazing.3.2.4 organic-coated glassa manufactured assembly con-sisting of a sheet of glass covered on one or both surfaces witheither:(1)an adhesive-applied organic film or sheeting,or(2)an applied coating.3.2.5 symmetricala term used to describe the
