168, ASTM E 169, ASTM E 204, ASTM G 155, and ASTM F 791. Polyvinyl butyral
shall not be used in contact with polycarbonate because its plasticizer may
craze polycarbonate.
2.7.1.4
Glass/Plastic Laminate Glazing
Bullet-resistant glass/plastic laminated glazing materials shall be
glass/plastic laminated construction or glass-clad plastic "sandwich"
construction conforming to applicable sections of ASTM C 1172.
Polycarbonate shall be ultraviolet stabilized.
2.7.1.5
Glass/Plastic Air-Gap Glazing
Bullet-resistant glass/plastic air-gap glazing shall consist of an assembly
in which glass forms the exterior [and interior (protected side)] layer,
separated by an air space from the laminated plastic plies. Exterior glass
plies shall be [annealed float glass conforming to Type I, quality q3 Class
1, in accordance with ASTM C 1036] [or] [heat-strengthened or fully heat
tempered, float glass, Condition A, Type I, q3 Class 1, in accordance with
ASTM C 1036] [or] [heat-strengthened or fully heat tempered, float glass,
Condition A, Type I, q3 class 1, in accordance with ASTM C 1048].
[Interior (protected side) glass plies shall be [annealed float glass
conforming to Type I, quality q3 Class 1, in accordance with ASTM C 1036]
[or] [heat-strengthened or fully heat tempered, float glass, Condition A,
Type I, q3 Class 1, in accordance with ASTM C 1048].] [Where annealed glass
is used on the protected side of the window, a sheet of 0.102 mm 4 mil
thick clear mylar fragment retention film shall be applied to the interior
surface in accordance with film manufacturer's instructions. Film that
wraps around the edges of the glass shall be applied prior to glazing the
window.] Plastic plies shall consist of laminated ultraviolet stabilized
polycarbonate sheets, conforming to paragraph Polycarbonate Plastic Sheets
and/or acrylic sheets for use "as cast" and in stretching operations with
