PREFACE

MAJOR REVISIONS TO REVISION H

There have been a number of changes incorporated into this revision of the U.S.

Department of State forced entry and ballistic resistant testing specification. This section provides a general overview.

Administrative and Procedural

The latest revision to the test specification codifies many of the administrative and procedural processes the Bureau of Diplomatic Security (DS) has been following in recent years.

Complete and detailed drawings are required of systems considered for subsequent testing and certification.

The requirement that DS-approved systems must also comply with all applicable requirements and specifications promulgated by the US Department of States, Overseas Buildings Operations (OBO) Bureau is reinforced.

Prescriptive requirements for window and door size and mounting gap are removed.

The allowable size increase of a certified system is increased from 10 to 80% for most types of systems.

A minimum allowable size reduction for certified transparent systems is instituted

– reductions to transparencies resulting in less than 12 inches in length or width shall require further testing of the system.

An important procedural aspect of this revision is the introduction of a procedure to retest systems at DS discretion in order to certify a system under this standard that was previously certified under Revision G or G (Amended).

Ballistic Testing

There are a number of changes to ballistic testing requirements incorporated into Revision H. The most significant change is associated with the increasing the number of test shots required for certification. Additionally, the procedure has changed and all shots of the same round are fired consecutively.

Forced Entry Testing

The most significant change to forced entry testing involves five-minute testing.

Revision H institutes a new protocol which employs an identical toolset and six-man Test Team for 5, 15 and 60-minute forced entry testing. The toolkit has also been revised.

-xi-

SPECIFIC CHANGES TO REVISION H

Changes for this version, presented in the approximate order in which they appear in this written standard:

1. Changed the standard’s title, replacing “structural” with “building.”

2. Changed the illustration on the front page.

3. Changed the level of signatory from DAS to C/PSP Deputy Assistant Director.

4. Changed the definition of “Bullet, Ball” and “Bullet Jacket.”

5. Changed the definition of “certification letter” in order to reflect that a system must meet all of the requirements of this standard in order to be certified.

6. Removed the term / definition “certification of testing” (which was granted by a testing facility) in order to avoid potential confusion with certification issuance (which is granted by DOS).

7. Made the definition of “convoluted passage” broader.

8. Added a definition for “hand passageway.”

9. Added a definition for “DOS Codes” and Table 7: DOS Codes.

10. Capitalized “DOS Model Number” throughout this Standard to reflect that it is a proper noun.

11. Removed the definition of “DS/PSD/SEP” as the branch no longer exists.

12. Replaced “FBO” with “OBO.”

13. Added a definition for “FMJ.”

14. Added a definition for “full-size systems” under the definition for “systems.”

15. Added a definition for “manufacturer model number,” clearly distinguished it from the DOS Model Number, and stated that both numbers should be unique.

16. Added a definition for “mounting gap.”

17. Added a definition for “Technical Review.” Capitalized “Technical Review” throughout this standard to reflect that it is a proper noun and a formal process.

18. Made it clear that “Test Personnel,” “Test Team,” and “Attack Team” are synonymous. Capitalized “Test Team” to indicate that it is a proper noun in this standard.

19. Removed the definition for “View Window” since the term does not appear elsewhere in this standard.

20. Stated test facilities must be approved by DS/PSP/PSD in order to perform SD-STD-01.01 testing and placed the definition for “independent test facilities” adjacent to the definition for “test facilities.”

21. Stated the DOS is not obligated to issue ratings for products/systems it doesn’t have a reasonable expectation of using.

22. Where appropriate, replaced “equipment” with “systems.”

23. Created the new effective date / implementation date.

-xii-

24. Section 1.1: General – Added verbiage that it is the test facility’s responsibility to address safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations.

25. Section 1.1.1: Users – Clarifies that DOS as the certifying authority is not obligated to certify any system over which there is cause for concern.

26. Removes the ability to “grandfather” systems certified to a previous version of SD-STD-01.01; removes the term “recertification.”

27. Removed ambiguity about modifications / changes to design – any modification(s) must go through the formal Technical Review process.

28. Added a procedure for systems previously certified under Revision G or G (Amended) of this standard to become certified under this version, Revision H. See Section: 1.2.5: Previously Certified Systems.

29. Certification Limits (new Section 1.2.6):

a. Moved it under Section 1.2: Certification, instead of under Section 1.3:

System Testing Concepts.

b. Removed language that transparencies, louvers and grilles will not be limited to a certain size because it is not germane to this standard.

c. Section 1.2.6(b): Certification for Sizes Other Than Test Sample Size –

Changed the maximum certified size for FE/BR systems, instituted a new minimum size reduction for transparencies, and clarified that aberrational shapes (e.g. a trapezoid) and aspect ratios require additional testing.

30. Section 1.3.1(a): Ballistic Resistance Levels and Table 1: Ballistic Resistance Test Ammunition and Table 6: Minimum Ballistic Requirements – Removed the submachine gun rating.

31. Section 1.3.1(b): Shotgun – Deleted “hand” from “passageways,” and added that the Test Director can determine if shotgun testing is required.

32. Made it clear that multiple samples (regardless of the system’s fielded size) may be needed for ballistic testing, and PSD’s written permission is required for doing less than the number of shots in Table 6: Minimum Ballistic Test Requirements.

33. Added the Multiple Samples section. The manufacturer is allowed to submit multiple samples for testing. The manufacturer is allowed to submit up to one sample per round, or at the discretion of PSD, for ballistic testing. “Per round” does not mean “per shot” – switching out samples after every shot is not allowed. The manufacturer is allowed to submit up to one sample per vulnerable area for FE testing.

34. Removed the limitation on door sizes that had been Rev. G (Amended) Section 1.3.4(b).

35. Where appropriate, specified that PSD approval must be required in writing.

36. Section 1.3.5(b): Forced Entry Lock (FEL) Placement – Stated FEL placement requirements may be waived for multi-point locking actuator.

-xiii-

37. Removed the old Section 1.3.6 statement that separate samples may be submitted for testing of dissimilar portions because that is covered under the new Section 1.3.4(c).

38. Changed the name of old Section 1.3.7, new Section 1.3.8, from “1/4 Gap Certification” to “Mounting Gap” (includes a definition for “mounting gap” in the Definitions section) – No longer requires 1/4″ as long as the FE/BR resistance of the gap is at least as strong as the system itself and the gap is the largest allowed by the manufacturer’s installation instructions. Requires that the FE/BR performance of the mounting gap / mounting clearance to be tested.

39. Section 1.4.1: Revocation Reasons

a. Specified that even one anomaly is sufficient cause for revocation of certification.

b. Specified that even one material or design change is sufficient cause for certification revocation, and specified that the change did not have to be “significant.”

c. Specified that if a part of a system fails subsequent testing, that is sufficient cause to revoke the certification of a system.

d. Specified that if a subsequent test failure causes concern about the body of knowledge upon which a certification is based, not just the test results upon which the certification was based, that is sufficient cause to revoke the certification of a system.

e. Listed failure to comply with current OBO specifications as a reason for certification revocation; placed the burden of compliance on the manufacturer; and listed the appropriate remedy which is for the manufacturer to make the system compliant and submit the request via Technical Review.

f. Listed cease of production (e.g. manufacturer goes out of business) as a reason for certification revocation.

g. Listed failure to provide documentation as a reason for certification revocation.

40. Section 1.4.3(e): Issue a Letter of Revocation – Now, once a system’s certification is revoked, that DOS Model Number cannot be used again, even if new testing and certification efforts are successful.

41. For procuring decertified systems, removed the “as a result of” clause, since it had no bearing on the rest of the section.

42. Under Revocation Procedures, changed “technical review” of the manufacturer’s proposal to “engineering review.” A “Technical Review” and/or retesting is still required if the manufacturer’s proposal under Section 1.4.3(b): Meet with Manufacturer and Review Manufacturer’s Proposal is inadequate.

-xiv-

43. Under QA/QC testing, replaced “materially different” with “different” because anomalies and imperfections are also covered under this clause.

44. Re-named Section 1.6 as “Point of Contact (POC) for this Standard” instead of “Availability” and directed users to Section 1.6: POC elsewhere in this Standard instead of providing the contact information in multiple spots;

also, updated the mailing address.

45. Reworded Section 1.7.1: System Sample.

46. Removed Section 1.7.2: Independent Evaluation.

47. Documentation section (Section 1.8) – Made it clear that all certification submissions (whether via testing or Technical Review) shall include the certification documentation specified in Section 1.8: Certification Documentation, and clearly required: title blocks, sheet numbers, to-scale drawings, revision blocks (if appropriate), Bill of Materials, notes (e.g. welding codes, tolerances, etc.), and clear labelling (e.g. attack side, protected side…) and the format shall be at DS/PSP/PSD’s discretion; specified that the metric units should be written first, with imperial units in parentheses.

48. Required that engineering drawings are submitted as one complete package.

49. Required a Certification Request Form for all requests for certification

(whether via testing or Technical Review); previously, a letter was required.

50. Required the following in Section 1.8.3: Installation Instructions: care, maintenance, and repair instructions.

51. Witnessing – Changed the requirement from 10 to 15 days of advanced notice to be provided to DS/PSP/PSD in advance of the testing date.

52. Section 1.9.2: Scheduling Procedure – Changed the requirement from 10 to 30 days for the certification documentation to be submitted to the Test Director and DS/PSP/PSD prior to any scheduled testing.

53. Formatting – Separated out Section 1.9.2 material into sub-sections for ease of reading – not a substantive change.

54. Section 1.9.2(c): Explicitly required that the test sample comply with Section 1.7.1: System Sample before testing begins. Required DS/PSP/PSD to approve the testing schedule beforehand.

55. Section 1.11: Testing and Certification of DOS-Designed FE/BR Systems

– Changed “DOS or A&E designed FE/BR equipment” to “DOS-designed FE/BR systems.”

56. Section 1.12: Model Numbering Convention – Tidied up the language with regard to assignment procedure, and removed the ability to assign interim model numbers. Created Section 1.12.3: Unique Model Numbers Requirement because unique model numbers are necessary for each system for identification and recordkeeping purposes. Made it clear that both DOS Model Numbers and manufacturer model numbers must be unique.

57. Deleted the old Section 1.12.3: Prior Revision Certifications (which concerned DOS Model Numbers) as it was no longer relevant under the new

-xv-

Sections 1.2.2: Tested to Earlier Versions of SD-STD-01.01 and 1.2.5(a):

New Certification of Previously Certified Systems. Regarding DOS Model Numbers, for systems that were previously tested and are receiving new certification under this standard, see Section 1.2.5(a) as well as 1.12.1 DOS Model Number Assignment Procedure.

58. Section 2.1: Test Director – Separated out the assigning of the Test Director from what the Test Director will ensure.

59. Section 2.2 – Appended “and Test Plan” to the name of this section.

60. Reorganized the information in Section 2.2: Test Sample Documentation

(and Test Plan) into Section 2.2.1: Test Director Shall Examine Test Sample Documentation, and Formulate and Submit a Test Plan and Section 2.2.2: Test Sample Documentation Examination by Test Team, although the content remains substantively the same except that language was added that DS/PSP/PSD’s review will also “ensure that all potential vulnerabilities are investigated.”

61. Section 2.2: Test Sample Documentation and Test Plan – Changed the DS/PSP/PSD advanced scheduling notice requirement from 10 to 15 working days.

62. Section 2.3.2(b): Forced Entry Test Sample Installation – Relocated language to here from the old Section 2.5: Forced Entry Test Personnel regarding the manufacturer’s option to not allow active Test Team members to have participated in the installation.

63. Section 2.3.2(d): Forced Entry Test Samples Which Require Footers – Clarified that the bracing or capping is intended to represent the fielded condition and shall not enhance or detract from the FE performance – the intent of this section did not change.

64. Section 2.3.3: Test Sample Labelling – Required samples to be labelled with their attack and protected sides as well as their model numbers.

65. Section 2.4.1: Rifle

a. Section 2.4.1(a): Test Sample Placement – Made 20 feet the minimum placement.

b. Section 2.4.1(b): Velocity Measurement Location – Clarified what to do if measuring with other than screens.

c. Section 2.4.1(c): Witness Panel Placement – Provided a tolerance for the standoff of the witness panel.

66. Created Section 2.4.3: Option to Waive Velocity Measurements as a practical consideration, e.g. for oblique shots for which the measurements are difficult to take. Clarified that the option to waive any velocity measurements is at the sole discretion of DS/PSP/PSD representative.

67. Section 2.5: Forced Entry Test Team – Added requirements for the Test Team members to be “physically fit,” “in good health,” able to carry 60 lbs., and have a basic understanding of hand tool usage; lowered the minimum

-xvi-weight to 150 lbs. from 160 lbs.; removed the upper weight limit which had been 250 lbs.; and increased the maximum age to 45 years old from 34 years old.

68. Reorganized the content of Section 2.6, formerly Tools and Support Instrumentation, and now Ammunition, Tools, And Support Instrumentation, including absorbing “old” Section 2.7: Ammunition – However, substantively there is no change. Moved witness panel specifics to new Table 6 sub-table (not a substantive change).

69. Section 2.6.1(a): Ballistic Testing Equipment – Added new options besides screens for ballistic velocity measurement-taking.

70. New Section 2.7: DS/PSP/PSD Representation (old Section 2.8, same name) – directs the user to Section 1.9.2(d): Witnessing and Scheduling and Section 2.2.1(c): Scheduling Testing for the minimum required advanced notice and who provides this notice, to avoid double-listing the information in this standard under Section 2.7.

71. 2.7.3: Deleted section on “Non-Test Issues for DOS or A&E Designed System” because it is no directly applicable for inclusion into the testing standard.

72. Section 3.1.2: Test Variations – Added language that the DS/PSP/PSD representative may add to the test plan, although in practice this has always been true.

73. Section 3.1.5: Door Operability – This is outside the scope of this standard.

Use OBO guidance.

74. Section 3.2.1 Firing Procedure – Formatting changed but there was no substantive change other than the change to the gap already mentioned in Section 1.3.8: Mounting Gap.

75. Section 3.2.2(a) – Removed the limit of six shots on transparencies – there is no upper limit.

76. Section 3.2.3(a): Classified as “Complete Penetration”

a. Specified what purpose the light serves (non-substantive).

b. Specified 800 lumens or brighter instead of a 60-watt lightbulb.

c. Specified that penetration of the witness panel is a “Complete Penetration” and adjusted the Definition section’s definition of “Ballistic Penetration” accordingly.

77. Section 3.2.3(b): Classified as “No Penetration” or “Partial Penetration”

– Updated the title of this section and conformed to test house established test reporting conventions; updated the Definitions section accordingly.

78. Section 3.2.5: Measuring Shot Velocity (formerly part of Section 3.2.4:

Fair Hits):

a. Directed the user to Section 2.4.3: Option to Waive Velocity Measurements. Also, required that any instances of velocity measurements being waived shall be documented in the test report.

-xvii-

b. Referred the user to Section 2.6.1(a): Ballistic Testing Equipment instead of specifying that a chronograph must be used.

79. Section 3.3.1(a): Interruptions – Moved the verbiage on rests to its own section, new Section 3.3.1(c): Rests, though substantively there is no change. Also, since the old Section 3.3.2(e) mentioned periods of non-activity including “photography, safety inspection, conference with DS observers, etc.), these additional possible reasons for interruption were added/codified in the new Section 3.3.1(a): Interruptions.

80. New Section 3.3.1(c): Rests – As mentioned above, rest periods were moved out of Section 3.3.1(a) and into their own section. The language “rests may be given every 15 minutes” was replaced with “rests shall be given every 15 minutes” for 60-minute forced entry tests. Specified the duration (in minutes) that the rests shall be.

81. Old Section 3.3.1(c), new Section 3.3.1(d): Inspections – Added verbiage that the Test Team may look or reach through the test sample; removed the verbiage about stepping behind the sample since it is already covered in new Section 3.3.2(f): Stepping Behind the Test Sample.

82. Moved Test Team selection information from Section 3.3: Forced Entry Testing to Section 2.5: Forced Entry Test Team, and clarified there that its the Test Director who determines who is on the Test Team.

83. Section 3.3.1(e): Test Resources – Clarified when tools shall not be used, because given that inspections are allowed during a test, tools are allowed during that time. Additionally, specified what condition the tools should be in – “serviceable” is not good enough. Clarified that the Test Team may reach through a sample to retrieve a tool if it is safe to do so. Moved Table 2:

Forced Entry Resources note up to Section 3.3.1(e) that sharp edged tools shall not be re-sharpened during the test.

84. Sections 3.3.2(c) and 3.3.2(d) were combined into new Section 3.3.2(c):

Exploit Dissimilar Portions – The new section makes it clear that tests can be added to the test plan, not just subtracted, and includes a callback reference to Section 2.2.1(b): Formal Test Plan.

85. Section 3.3.2(f): Stepping Behind the Test Sample – This section serves the same purpose as the old Section 3.3.2(g).

1.0 SCOPE AND REQUIREMENTS

1.1 GENERAL

This standard supersedes all prior versions of SD-STD-01.01 and SD-STD-01.02. It sets forth the requirements and testing procedures to certify forced entry (FE) and/or ballistic resistant (BR) systems which are intended for use by the U.S. Department of State (DOS) in its diplomatic facilities throughout the world. The certification of FE and BR systems is mandatory and indicates that the systems are rated to provide the level of FE and BR protection required by DOS standards for specific facilities in certain threat environments.

This standard does not purport to address all of the safety, environmental, and end-user concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of any testing facility that conducts testing to this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices, and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations, before conducting any such testing (see also Section 3.7: Safety).

1.1.1 Users

1.1.1.a Intent This standard is intended primarily for manufacturers to test their products/systems and for DOS to certify systems that meet DOS needs.

1.1.1.b Use DOS is not under any obligation to issue FE/BR ratings and/or certifications for products/systems. For example, if products/systems are of a type that DOS does not have a reasonable expectation of using, then DOS is not obligated to certify them. If any reason comes to light before, during, or after testing which DS feels is cause for concern about a system, then DOS is not under any obligation to issue FE/BR ratings and/or certifications for that system, regardless of testing outcomes.

1.1.1.c DOS-Designed Systems This standard also can be used to test and certify DOS-designed walls, seismic joints, doors, grilles, etc. Section 1.11: Testing and Certification of DOS-Designed FE/BR Systems details considerations for testing DOS-designed FE/BR systems.

1.1.2 Exceptions

This standard does not apply to items of personal protection (helmets, visors, vests, etc.) or to materials intended for installation in automobiles or other mobile structures.

1.1.3 Implementation

1.1.3.a Implementation Date This standard will take effect as of the date it was signed by the DS/PSP Office Director (see signatory page). All FE/BR products procured pursuant to DOS physical security standards shall require certification to SD-STD-01.01.

-8-

1.1.3.b List of FE/BR-Certified Systems The Department of State Bureau of Diplomatic Security shall maintain both a list of FE/BR systems certified under Revision G or G (Amended) of SD-STD-01.01 hereafter referred to as the “G List,” and a list of FE/BR systems certified under this revision of SD-STD-01.01, Revision H, hereafter referred to as the “H List.” A system’s DOS Model Number will differentiate to which list an FE/BR system belongs under Section 1.12.1: DOS Model Number Assignment Procedure. Should the manufacturer of a system on the G List desire the system to be placed on the H List, the manufacturer should follow the guidance of Section 1.2.5: Previously Certified Systems (see also Section 1.2.2: Tested to Earlier Versions of DS-STD-01.01).

1.1.3.c Procurement Relative to the Implementation Date Products on the G List may be procured if the procurement action was initiated two years or less after the implementation date this version of SD-STD-01.01, Revision H.

1.2 CERTIFICATION

Certifications may be granted to systems which fall under Section 1.2.1: Tested to Current Version of SD-STD-01.01 or Section 1.2.2: Tested to Earlier Versions of SD-STD.01.01.

1.2.1 Tested to Current Version of SD-STD.01.01

Candidate systems which successfully complete the testing requirements specified in this version of SD-STD-01.01 may be granted certification.

1.2.2 Tested to Earlier Versions of SD-STD.01.01

Any system tested to a version of SD-STD-01.01 earlier than Revision G shall not be certified under Revision H without going through the entire certification process anew, as though the system had never been tested or certified before.

Candidate systems which were previously certified to Revision G or Revision G (Amended) of SD-STD-01.01 and meet the requirements of Section 1.2.5(a): New Certification of Previously Certified Systems may be granted certification under Revision H upon successful Technical Review (see Section 5.0: Technical Review).

1.2.3 Certification Submission

Certification submittals for candidate systems must comply with the documentation requirements as specified in Section 1.8: Certification Documentation, and Section 5.0:

Technical Review for Technical Reviews. Certification submittals for Technical Review which do not require new or retesting need not include a Test-To-Failure Agreement.

1.2.4 Modifications

Once a system is certified to this Standard, no design change or change in component material shall be made to that system. Items that are not relevant to the FE/BR certification are not subject to this design change requirement, for example: coatings or tints to glazings (except if they are applied films or interlayers that change the physical construction), -9-paints/anodizing, DOS-approved hardware schedules, and cladding or decorative trim pieces that were not part of the test sample.

For a new system that is substantially similar to a certified system, the new system…
