Answer : The most common commercial standards in the United States are American National Standards Institute (ANSI) / Underwriters Laboratories (UL) 752 and National Institute of Justice (NIJ) 0108.01. Designing windows to resist ballistics is practical and common, however. Ballistic resistant windows are commonly designed based on testing to standards such as those tabulated in Appendix A. It is important to note that window designs to meet those standards must include entire window assemblies including glazing, frames, and connections assembled as they would be in the field. Testing assemblies ensures that all potential impact points on a window provide ballistics resistance. Window designs will usually be proprietary and may use a variety of glazing and frame materials. Manufacturers certify their compliance with the standards, usually through independent testing laboratories. It should be a (UL) Level 8 standard or rating/as listed in the below chart. Question 16.
