These requirements cover materials, devices, and fixtures used to form bullet-resisting barriers which protect against robbery or holdup.

As used in these requirements, the term "bullet-resisting" signifies that protection is provided against complete penetration, passage of fragments of projectiles, or spalling (fragmentation) of the protective material to the degree that injury would be caused to a person standing directly behind the bullet-resisting barrier.

These requirements also cover electrically-operated equipment, such as teller's fixtures using electrically-driven deal trays or package passers, and intercommunication or other electrical equipment that is an integral part of the bullet-resisting product.

The term "product" as used in this standard refers to all bullet-resisting equipment or any part thereof covered by this standard unless specifically noted otherwise.

A product that contains features, characteristics, components, materials, or systems new or different from those covered by the requirements in this Standard, and that involves a risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons shall be evaluated using the appropriate additional component and end-product requirements to determine that the level of safety as originally anticipated by the intent of this Standard is maintained. A product whose features, characteristics, components, materials, or systems conflict with specific requirements or provisions of this Standard shall not be judged to comply with this Standard. Where appropriate, revision of requirements shall be proposed and adopted in conformance with the methods employed for development, revision, and implementation of this Standard.
