TM 5-853-1/AFMAN 32-1071, Vol. 1, Security Engineering - Project Development TM 5-853-2/AFMAN 32-1071, Vol. 2, Security Engineering - Concept Design TM 5-853-3/AFMAN 32-1071, Vol. 3, Security Engineering - Final Design These manuals are marked "For Official Use Only", and they may be ordered by Department of the Army agencies from the U.S. Army Publications Distribution Center, 2800 Eastern Blvd., Baltimore, MD 21220-2896. TM 5-853-1 defines threats to military assets including the forced entry tactic in terms of weapons, tools, and explosives. The threat to an asset may be developed using the threat analysis procedure described in TM 5-853-1. TM 5-853-2 and TM 5-853-3 contain guidance on design and protective measures to resist forced entry and other tactics. To be effective, a forced entry resistant component must be part of a forced entry resistant construction envelope that protects and asset. Refer to appendix C of TM 5-853-2 for a table of components and construction elements that are rated against various threat severity levels of the forced entry tactic. If a designer chooses to design components for shop fabrication, the materials should be specified in appropriate sections including Section 05500, MISCELLANEOUS METALS. At the time of preparation of this specification, manufacturers had not tested vehicle doors to the forced entry test standards covered herein. The designer may specify oversized swinging doors or specify a door for vehicle entry to meet a forced entry test standard as an alternate bid item, or under a separate bid request doors to be tested in accordance with the required test standard. If the latter is chosen, allow long lead time for the manufacturer to design, test, and receive approval of the door. ************************************************************************** Each type of forced entry resistant component shall be the standard product of a manufacturer regularly engaged in the manufacture of such products and shall duplicate items that have been tested and approved in accordance with the forced entry test standard specified in paragraph COMPONENT TEST REQUIREMENTS. Manufacturer's descriptive data, installation instructions, and certificate and test report showing compliance with the specified forced entry test standard as specified in paragraph COMPONENT TEST REQUIREMENTS shall be submitted for all components. [Following approval of manufacturer's descriptive data, a schedule listing the items and components to be furnished shall be submitted.] [Drawings shall be submitted.] Manufacturer's certificate shall be submitted indicating that compliance with the installation instructions [and drawings] will provide the specified degree of forced entry resistance. 1.5 COMPONENT TEST REQUIREMENTS ************************************************************************** NOTE: The project forced entry threat must be identified before selection of test standard. The designer will then select the forced entry testing standard that most represents the threat, using Table I. The designer will then indicate the applicable test standard in paragraph COMPONENT TEST REQUIREMENTS or on the drawings in door, window, or other component schedule. If project criteria includes more than one forced entry threat, each component will be correlated with the appropriate test standard it is required to meet. Test standards should be selected based on the forced entry threat as defined in TM 5-853-1 for a given asset. The forced entry tactic has associated with it five threat severity levels consisting of very low, low, medium, high, and very high. The HPW TP-0506.00 (very low) through HPW TP-0509.00 (high) test standards for the forced entry threats identified in TM 5-853-1 are for use in performance specifications. There is no single uniform standard for forced entry resistance. Each testing agency has its own parameters. Variables include the tools used, the attack time, the attack team size, and the failure criteria. Some standards apply only to specific components. Verify that the test standard is applicable to components being specified. Several forced entry test standards are described in Note F, and correlated to threats in Table I. Test standards described in Table I and Note F include both those developed and used by independent testing laboratories and those developed for specific application by other Government agencies. Equivalent Standards. Table I indicates how the existing forced entry standards relate to the forced entry threat severity levels. Because many of the standards indicated as "equivalent" include differences in tools, numbers of attackers, attack duration, and failure criteria, designers should obtain the most recent revisions, become familiar with them, and develop specifications accordingly. Bullet and forced entry resistant window design. Refer to CEGS 13970, BULLET-RESISTANT COMPONENTS, when specifying ballistic threats only. Where both forced entry and ballistic resistance are required, the designer must substantially alter and combine the pertinent parts of this CEGS and CEGS-13970. Combined forced entry and ballistic testing procedures are included in SD Std-01.01 and ASTM F 1233. Also HPW TP-0501.01, "Ballistic Resistance of Structural Materials (Opaque and Transparent); Test Procedures and Acceptance Criteria" was written to be used with HPW TP-0502.01 for dual forced entry and ballistic testing.

P. White Laboratories UL - Underwriters Laboratories, Inc. SD - U. S. Department of State The forced entry test standards described below include both those developed and used by independent testing laboratories and those developed for specific application by other Government agencies. These standards differ in attack tools employed, the number of persons (if any) used in the attack force, the attack duration, and the failure criteria. Before specifying construction components to meet a standard, obtain the standard and become familiar with it. A brief description follows each standard and, when possible, the standard is equated to forced entry severity levels from TM 5-853-1. 1. American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM). a. "Standard Test Method for Security Glazing Materials and Systems," ASTM F 1233. Acceptance of component is determined by one of the following: ballistics attack only; physical attack only to include blunt tool impacts, sharp tool impacts, thermal stress, and chemical deterioration; or ballistics attack followed by and in combination with physical attack. The physical attack tools used in the Class V testing sequence are similar to the "low forced entry severity level." The physical attack tools used in the Class IV testing sequence are similar to the "very low forced entry severity level." The use of power tools or devices requiring more than two persons to transport or operate is specifically exempted from testing. This test method defines two factors (the tools employed and the techniques and methods used by the attackers) and allows a third factor (duration) to vary in order to establish severity levels of forced entry. b. "Test Methods for Resistance of Window Assemblies to Forced Entry, Excluding Glazing", ASTM F 588. This specification applies to window assemblies of various materials and types of construction. Five window types are classified. The tests are intended to establish a measure of resistance to attack by unskilled or opportunistic burglars. Tests include hand manipulation, tool manipulation, static load, and locking device strength resistance. This testing is at a level comparatively below the "very low forced entry severity level." 2. H. P. White Laboratories a. "Forced Entry Resistance of Security Structures and Structural Subassemblies, Very Low Threat Level," HPW TP-0506.00. This standard represents the Army "very low forced entry severity level." The attack times are 5, 15, and 60 minutes using limited tools. The test includes a vigorous attack by two active attackers on a material specimen or a complete assembly. b. "Forced Entry Resistance of Security Structures and Structural Subassemblies, Low Threat Level," HPW TP-0507.00. This standard represents the Army "low forced entry severity level." The attack times are 5, 15, and 60 minutes using unlimited hand tools. The test includes a vigorous attack by three active attackers on a material specimen or on a complete assembly. c. "Forced Entry Resistance of Security Structures and Structural Subassemblies, Medium Threat Level," HPW TP-0508.00. This standard represents the Army "medium forced entry severity level." The attack times are 5, 15, and 60 minutes. The test includes a vigorous attack by four active attackers on a material specimen or on a complete assembly. The attack uses unlimited hand tools, limited power and thermal tools, a hand-held hydraulic jack, and weapons. d. "Forced Entry Resistance of Security Structures and Structural Subassemblies, High Threat Level," HPW TP-0509.00. This standard represents the Army "high forced entry severity level." The attack times are 5, 15, and 60 minutes. The test includes a vigorous attack by four active attackers on a material specimen or on a complete assembly. The attack uses unlimited hand and power tools, limited thermal tools, a hand-held hydraulic jack, weapons, and limited explosives. e. "Forced Entry Resistance of Structural Materials (Opaque and Transparent); Test Procedures and Acceptance Criteria," HPW TP-0502.01. On opaque portions of the assembly, the time is 15 or 60 minutes against attack tools similar to the "low forced entry severity level." However, note that on transparent portions, sharp-edge cutting tools are specifically exempted from the test tools. The tests include a vigorous attack by six persons. Ballistic tests may be performed on the same samples before the forced entry testing, and without changing or repairing damaged assemblies, in accordance with HPW-TP-0501.01, "Ballistic Resistance of Structural Materials (Opaque and Transparent); Test Procedures and Acceptance Criteria." f. "Transparent Materials and Assemblies for Use in Forced Entry or Containment Barriers," HPW TP-0500.02. This standard was developed by H. P. White Laboratories for commercial, governmental, or military application and generally is used in testing prison (forced exit resistant) components. This test method defines two of three factors (tools and techniques) and varies the third factor (time) to establish five levels of forced entry resistance. Levels I, II, III, IV, and V specify attack tools and sequences of attacks with the specified tools. Attack weapons and tools include hand tools, propane and acetylene torch, chemical solvents, and five levels of ballistic assault. The ballistic threats are considered integral to the forced entry rating in this standard and differ from those in other H. P. White standards. Tests are conducted on either a 915 x 1220 mm (3 x 4 foot) specimen of transparent material or on a complete assembly. 3. International Conference of Building Officials, "Tests for Window Assemblies," UBC 41.2. Describes the following tests which are related to security windows: hand manipulation, tool manipulation, static load, and locking device tests. This testing is at a level comparatively below the "very low forced entry severity level." 4. National Institute of Justice (NIJ). "Physical Security of Window Units," NIJ 0316.00-80. Use of the NIJ standard for Army application is limited because it describes construction types which have been demonstrated to have minimal penetration times against the more sophisticated threats. This specification describes four classes of physical security by describing the window types indicated below. This testing is at a level comparatively below the "very low forced entry severity level." a. Class I (Grade 10)--minimum level: Regular glazing in commercial sash; double locks; wood frame acceptable. b. Class II (Grade 20)--moderate level: Heavy-duty sash with laminated or polycarbonate glazing; wood sash must be reinforced or heavy. c. Class III (Grade 30)--medium level: Heavy-duty sash with laminated glass over 6 mm (1/4 inch) thick or polycarbonate glazing 6 mm (1/4 inch) thick; locks should include two heavy-duty deadlocking bolts. d. Class IV (Grade 40)--high level: Very heavy fixed frames with laminated glass over 6 mm (1/4 inch) thick or security screen, bars, or shutters with special locking devices. e. Window performance requirements include lock tests for stability (cycles of unlocking motion) and strength (loads ranging from 218 N (49 lb. force) to 3350 N (753 lb. force); sash strength (218 N (49 lb. force) primary and secondary loads to 445 N (100 lb. force) primary load, 3350 N (753 lb. force) secondary load) and impact resistance (not applicable to Class I, Grade 10; other classes range from one impact at 50 J (37 ft-lb force) to 10 at 100 J (74 ft-lb force)); and glazing impact test (same as for sash impact). 5. Underwriters Laboratories Inc. (UL), "Standard for Burglary Resisting Glazing Material," UL 972, evaluates a glazing material's ability to withstand multiple impacts over a wide temperature range. Impact testing is standardized rather than subjecting the specimen to actual physical attack simulations by persons who can analyze and exploit the weaknesses of specimens. A steel ball is dropped a number of times from different heights. The intent of this standard is to replicate hit-and-run burglary attacks on commercial establishments. This testing is at a level below the "very low forced entry severity level." 6. U. S. Department of State (SD). "SD Std-01.01. This standard was developed for determining the forced entry resistance of building components to be used in State Department facilities. The protection level is 5, 15, or 60 minutes. The tools are similar to the low forced entry severity level. This standard is for the testing of louvers, fixed windows and panels, and doors. Testing is performed by a two-member team for the 5-minute protection level and by a six-member team for the 15- and 60-minute protection levels. Penetration time is considered to be when an opening has been created which allows passage of either a solid, incompressible object 300 x 300 x 200 mm (12 x 12 x 8 inches) or a solid, incompressible right cylinder 300 x 300 mm (12 x 12 inches). Both a forced entry and a ballistic rating can be obtained on the same component if the component passes the ballistic and forced entry tests contained in the test standard.
