Impact Security announces that its RiotLite Security Window Film has achieved the highest performance rating recorded under the ASTM 3561 standards.
The ASTM 3561 standard (Standard Test Method for Forced-Entry-Resistance of Fenestration Systems After Simulated Active Shooter Attack) is the latest testing protocol for evaluating security window films against forced entry and impact scenarios. This achievement is critical for school administrators seeking advanced solutions to protect campuses from modern threats, including active shooter attacks on common window and door glass types.
“RiotLite represents a breakthrough in safety glazing innovation,” says Mark Mineer, President of Impact Security. By meeting ASTM 3561 standards at Level 3, we’ve proven that RiotLite is a game-changing solution designed to help school officials protect the most common access points—ground-level windows, entryways, and glass doors. This technology allows the critical time needed for occupants to take protective measures and for first responders to intervene.”
Key Highlights of RiotLite Security Window Film
- Strength: Achieved Level 3 forced entry and impact resistance rating under ASTM 3561 testing on ¼-inch tempered glass.
- Enhanced Forced Entry Resistance: Delays unauthorized access, providing crucial time for first responder response.
- Versatility: Compatible with existing glass, offering cost-effective security upgrades.
- Applications: Ideal for schools, offices, government buildings, and retail locations.
The Importance of ASTM 3561 Standards
The new ASTM 3561 standard is a major advancement in evaluating security glazing and window films, addressing the demand for a universal standard for reliable protective solutions. RiotLite’s superior performance on 1/4” tempered glass validates its position as a top option for safeguarding lives and infrastructure, especially in schools where protection against active shooter scenarios is vital.
