The ASA (now ANSI) performance code for Safety Glazing Materials was revised in 1966 to incorporate these improvements in windshield constmction. The addition of test no. 26 requiring support of a 2.3-kg ball dropped from 3.7 m defined this level of improvement. It was based on a correlation estabUshed between 10-kg, instmmented, head-form impacts on windshields, on 0.6 x 0.9-m flat laminates, and the standard 0.3 x 0.3-m laminate with the 2.3-kg ball (28). Crash cases involving the two windshield interlayer types were matched for car impact speeds and were compared (29). The improved design produced fewer, less extensive, and less severe facial lacerations than those produced in the pre-1966 models.

Calculation procedure 1 This is an alternative to the elemental approach and allows variation in the levels of insulation and of the glazing area. The calculation should show that the rate of heat loss through the envelope of the proposed building is not greater than that through a notional building of the same size and shape that is designed to comply with the elemental approach. 

Design for long life in the target environment. What temperature, humidity, radiation conditions and so forth does it have to withstand For example the use of photo inhibitors can dramatically increase the hfe of plastic conservatory glazing.
