    Abstract - (Show below) - (Hide below)

    Security glazing intended to delay access for a short period of time to a protected space, e.g. a shop window.

    Scope - (Show below) - (Hide below)

    1.1 This British Standard specifies requirements and test methods for anti-bandit glazing by which is meant a type of security glazing designed to resist manual attack and to delay access to the protected space for a short period of time.

    The criterion of failure is when a hole of specified size (relating in practice to a hand) is produced in the anti-bandit glazing.

    1.2 Spalling from the surface remote from the attack has not been taken into account.
