This document is not an ASTM standard and is intended only to provide the user of an ASTM standard an indication of what changes have been made to the previous version. Because
it may not be technically possible to adequately depict all changes accurately, ASTM recommends that users consult prior editions as appropriate. In all cases only the current version
of the standard as published by ASTM is to be considered the official document.
Designation: E2395 − 18 E2395 − 21
Standard Specification for
Voluntary Security Performance of Window and Door
Assemblies with Glazing Impact
This standard is issued under the fixed designation E2395; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year of
original adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. A
superscript epsilon (´) indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.
1. Scope
1.1 This specification covers performance requirements and methods of test for the resistance to forced entry of window and door
assemblies. This specification addresses the capability of window and door assemblies to frustrate and potentially delay or deter
opportunistic entry by unskilled and semi-skilled intruders. This specification does not address detention facilities or window and
door assemblies attacked by professional, sophisticated intruders.
1.2 This specification is used for the testing of complete window and door assemblies including assault to the infill glazing. Direct
assault to the infill glazing at the specified threat level is not included in other ASTM test methods that address fenestration security
performance.
1.3 These requirements are limited to window and door assemblies only as manufactured, regardless of their materials or method
of manufacture. They do not include requirements for secondary or storm windows and doors, doors intended for vehicular access,
or skylights. This is a laboratory test, not a field test that simulates an installed condition.
1.4 AllThe values are stated in SI units and are to be regarded as standard. Values The values given in parentheses are for
information only. after SI units are provided for information only and are not considered standard. Certain values contained in
reference documents cited and quoted herein may be stated in inch-pound units and must be converted by the user.
1.5 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.
1.6 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.

FIG. 1 Example of Missile Impact and Hammer Strike Zone Locations
specimen using a horizontally applied force of 18 N (4 lb) or less. These criteria will apply when the free passage of the shape
is made through a hole in any portion of the test specimen.
7.1.2 Level 5 is met when the test specimen resists the missile impacts, without missile penetration of the inner plane of the infill

8. Product Qualification
8.1 Products shall be qualified as passing and shall be rated when the following conditions have been met:
8.1.1 Test specimens shall be tested following the appropriate test method (Window Assemblies, Sliding Door Assemblies, or
Swinging Door Assemblies) in this specification and comply with the pass/fail criteria established in 7.1.
8.2 Substitutions shall be in accordance with the following criteria:
8.2.1 Successful tests of a window or door assembly shall qualify other assemblies with thicker or equal glazing and thicker or
equal identical formulation of interlayer or film materials of the same glass type and treatment, provided the glazing details are
unchanged other than to accommodate any variations in overall glazing thickness.
8.2.1.1 Glazing detail changes shall demonstrate equivalent performance through a review of materials or by engineering analysis.
8.2.2 Products which have been tested and rated by this specification shall qualify identical assemblies that are equal to or smaller
than both the width and height of the test specimen.
8.2.3 Glazing material colors may be changed provided the glazing construction remains unchanged. Heat-treated glass shall not
qualify annealed glass material, and FT shall not qualify HS or AN.

shall qualify other assemblies that do not contain construction to improve thermal efficiency provided the same extrusions are used
and the requirements of 8.2.1 and 8.2.2 are satisfied.
8.2.6 When composite window or door assemblies are evaluated for conformance with this specification, each product type of the
assembly shall be tested separately.
