Is there a maximum deflection limitation when testing impact protective systems?
In accordance with Section 5.5 of ASTM E 1996-04, the dynamic deflection and the residual deflection must be measured and recorded. In accordance with Section 8.3 of ASTM E 1996-04, the impact protective system must be offset from the fenestration assembly based on the measured and recorded deflections. Please refer to Sections 5.5 and 8.3 of ASTM E 1996-04.
