About this file
This is a test report documenting forced-entry resistance and glass weakening testing conducted by Intertek Building & Construction for Clear Armor's fixed window assemblies. The testing was performed in accordance with ASTM F3561-25, Standard Test Method for Forced-Entry-Resistance of Fenestration Systems After Simulated Active Shooter Attack, on a 48.5-inch by 66.5-inch fixed window assembly. Three specimens were tested, each with identical glazing layup consisting of 15 mil laminate, 1/4-inch glass, PVB glue, 1/4-inch glass, and 31 mil laminate on the protected side. Testing was conducted on March 4, 2026, at Intertek's facility in York, Pennsylvania, with results issued on March 24, 2026.
All three specimens demonstrated complete penetration when subjected to 5.56mm NATO ballistic testing at ten shot locations, simulating an active shooter attack. During forced-entry impact testing using an impact ram with increasing drop heights from 6 inches to 4 feet, Specimen 1 achieved a Level 6 forced-entry rating, Specimen 2 achieved a Level 8 rating, and Specimen 3 also achieved a Level 8 rating, with the overall lowest rating of Level 6 reported for the three-sample set. The testing was completed by Eric J. Beaudoin and reviewed by V. Thomas Mickley, Jr., P.E., Senior Staff Engineer, with Intertek B&C maintaining ISO/IEC 17025 accreditation as Testing Laboratory TL-144.

SECTION 8
TEST PROCEDURE
Glass Weakening:
The sample was rigidly mounted for ballistics resistance testing. The muzzle of the test firearm was set at 25 feet from the sample at zero-degree (±3°) obliquity. Ballistic screens were set at 5 feet and at 20 feet from the muzzle of the firearm. Test ammunition was 5.56 mm NATO, 55 grain, copper jacket lead core, which conformed to ASTM F3561, Table 1 requirements. Shot locations were per Figure 4 of ASTM F3561 for glazing and panels.
Forced Entry:
Impacts were delivered to the product using an impact ram as specified in ASTM F3561, Section
6.6. The product was rigidly anchored to a supporting test frame, and the impacts were delivered to the specimen as per ASTM F3561, Section 16. Two impacts were delivered to the center of the specimen for each drop height beginning at a height of 6 in and increasing in increments of 6 in until failure occurred. The potential energy delivered at each drop height is detailed in the following table:
LEVEL POTENTIAL ENERGY, J DROP HEIGHT (H)
