only a pass/fail condition when specific
concentrated loads are applied to sash or ventilator
in attempt to open or remove sash or ventilator from
window frame and specifies no measured time delay.
It provides moderate degree of security against
unskilled or opportunistic intruder at little or no
additional cost. When forced entry resistant
windows are specified, coordinate glazing
