Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out
through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical
committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International
organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.
ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of
electrotechnical standardization.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular, the different approval criteria needed for the
different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www .iso .org/ directives).
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. Details of
any patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in the Introduction and/or
on the ISO list of patent declarations received (see www .iso .org/ patents).
Any trade name used in this document is information given for the convenience of users and does not
constitute an endorsement.

expressions related to conformity assessment, as well as information about ISO's adherence to
the World Trade Organization (WTO) principles in the Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT), see

This document was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 160, Glass in building, Subcommittee SC 2,
Use considerations.
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition (ISO 16936-1:2005), which has been
technically revised. The main changes compared to the previous edition are as follows:
— addition of Figure 2;
— Annex A status has been changed to normative due to reference in 7.1.

Introduction
This document assesses security-glazing products that are more familiarly known as “anti-vandal”,
“anti-bandit” and “detention” glazing products. Because there is no single test that will cover the wide
range of resistances to attack, four separate test methods are provided to assess the forced entry
resistant properties of security glazing. It is not intended that any particular test method be associated
with the terms “anti-vandal” or “anti-bandit”, since these terms can be only loosely defined and there is
considerable overlap in their definition.
It is important that security-glazing products be installed in a frame which can give appropriate
resistance to impact and which also provides a suitable support for the security-glazing product. It is
important that cut-outs and holes in security-glazing products be avoided where possible, as these can
affect the resistance of the product.
The test method specified in this document does not reproduce the conditions of a real human attack
but is intended to give a classification of comparative resistance.
INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO 16936-1:2020(E)
Glass in building — Forced-entry security glazing —
Part 1:
Test and classification by repetitive ball drop
1 Scope
This document specifies requirements and a test method for security glazing designed to resist impacts
of a hard body by delaying access of objects and/or persons to a protected space for a short period of
time. It also classifies security-glazing products into categories of resistance to repetitive impacts of a
steel sphere.
In this document, the categories of resistance have not been assigned to special applications. It is
intended that the glazing classification be specified on an individual basis for every application and
anticipated action of force upon the glazing.
This document deals with mechanical resistance to impact only.
NOTE Other properties can also be important.
