The ASTM F1642/F1642M-17 standard provides a test method for assessing the hazard level of Glass and its assembly systems under air explosion loads. This method is applicable to all types of Glass and their retrofit systems, including Laminated Glass, Plastic Clad Glass, etc. Through testing, it is possible to determine the compressive capacity of these systems in the event of an air explosion, thus assessing the risk of personal injury and damage to the facility. The standard requires specific air explosion load parameters to be provided in the test and allows testing in the presence and absence of framed systems to ensure Reliability and Safety in practical applications.
