The following tests to indicate compliance with specified requirements shall be performed by an independent testing laboratory, and the laboratory reports shall be signed by a responsible official of the laboratory. 2.2.1 Impact Performance Fragment retention film shall be tested for impact in accordance with ANSI Z97.1 or 16 CFR 1201. Tests shall be conducted on fragment retention film applied to 3.1 to 6.4 mm 1/8 to 1/4 inch-thick annealed flat glass which conforms to the requirements of ASTM C1036, Type I, Class 1, Quality q3. The film tested shall be applied to the glass with a splice located at the midpoint of the specimen. Sketches showing location and configuration of splice shall be included in submitted certified test reports. After the impact portion of the test is conducted, satisfactory performance of the test specimens shall be determined using ANSI Z97.1, paragraph 5.1.3 or 16 CFR 1201, paragraph 1201.4 (e)--INTERPRETATION OF RESULTS. To be qualified for use under this specification, the manufacturer shall provide a report that the fragment retention film satisfactorily performed in accordance with ANSI Z97.1, paragraph 5.1.3 (1), (3), or (4) or with 16 CFR 1201, paragraph 1204.4 (e) (1) (i), (iv), or (v). ANSI Z97.1, paragraph 5.1.3 (2) or 16 CFR 1201, paragraph 1204.4 (e) (1) (ii) shall not constitute passing criteria. 2.2.2 Tensile Strength The fragment retention film samples tested shall exhibit a minimum tensile strength at break of 172.4 MPa 25,000 psi when tested in accordance with ASTM D882. Method A, Static Weighing, Constant Rate of Grip Separation Test, shall be used to conduct this test. The rate of grip separation shall not exceed 0.2 mm/s 1/2 inch per minute. 2.2.3 Peel Strength Testing shall be conducted following 1,200 hours accelerated weathering exposure. The fragment retention film shall exhibit a minimum peel strength of 930 N/m 5.3 pounds/inch for 0.10 mm 0.004 inch thick film and 790 N/m 4.5 pounds/inch for 0.18 mm 0.007 inch thick and thicker film when tested in accordance with ASTM D3330/D3330M. Method A shall be used to conduct the tests. A glass substrate shall be used and a maximum dwell time of 45 days is permitted. 2.2.4 Surface Abrasion The fragment retention film shall exhibit a change in haze not to exceed 3.2 percent following 100 turns, using 500-gram weights on a CS 10F abrasive wheel when tested in accordance with ASTM D1044. 2.2.5 Flame Spread and Smoke Density The fragment retention film shall exhibit a flame spread index not exceeding 25 and a smoke density index not exceeding 100 when tested in accordance with ASTM E84. For the test, the specimen shall be mounted to 6.4 mm 1/4 inch thick tempered glass which conforms to the requirements of ASTM C1048, Kind FT, Type I, Class 1, Quality q3. PART 3 EXECUTION 3.1 SURFACE PREPARATION Clean the glass surface, to which the fragment retention film is to be applied, of paint, foreign compounds, smears, and spatters. After the initial cleaning, further clean the surface to receive the film in accordance with the film manufacturer's instructions. 3.2 APPLICATION NOTE: Greater protection for occupants from flying glass caused by blast loads is achieved by applying film such that it extends edge to edge of the sheet and into the bite of the frame. Some gaskets and compounds can dissolve the film surface, the adhesive, or the metallic coating interlayer of reflective or tinted films. For insulated glass units, apply film to the interior (room) side only. Other applications have not been tested. Tests show that film applications to insulated glass units offer more protection for occupants than applications on single sheets of glass. When more than one type of film application is used for a project, indicate the application to be used on the door and window schedules or elevations. Provide fragment retention film on window and door glass where indicated. After surface preparation, apply the fragment retention film in accordance with the manufacturer's recommendations and instructions. Film shall be applied to the interior (room) side of the glass for both single and double glazed sheets, unless otherwise indicated. Multiple applications of film to achieve specified thicknesses is not allowed. The film shall not be applied if there are visible dust particles in the air, if there is frost on the glazing, or if any room condition such as temperature and humidity do not meet the manufacturer's instructions. After film application, maintain room conditions as required by the manufacturer's instructions to allow for proper curing of the adhesive. 3.2.1 Application to Existing Glass Involving Dismantlement Remove the existing glazing compound, gaskets, and/or stops as required to expose the existing glass pane. If necessary, remove the glass so that the film can be applied extending edge to edge of the glass sheet. Install existing gaskets and/or stops and replace any removed glazing compounds with new glazing compounds. Removed glazing compounds shall be scrapped and not reused. Glazing compounds shall be in accordance with GANA Sealant Manual. Glazing methods shall be in accordance with GANA Glazing Manual. Ensure compatibility when contact between the glazing compounds and/or gaskets and the film occurs. Any damaged or broken glazing and gaskets shall be replaced and reinstalled in kind. 3.2.2 Splicing NOTE: Overlaps of 0.25 mm (0.010 inch) thick and thicker film are highly visible and are not recommended. If no glazing has a dimension exceeding 1475 mm (58 inches) in both directions, specify that the film may not be spliced. [Splices or seams in fragment retention film are not permitted.] [Splices or seams in fragment retention film are permitted only when a sheet of glass has a dimension exceeding 1.475 m 58 inches in both directions. All seams shall be applied with a minimum overlap of 6 mm 1/4 inch unless submitted test reports indicate impact performance is not diminished when seam is applied with a different overlap or a gap.] 3.3 CLEANING Cleaning of the fragment retention film shall be in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions.
