Coastal and Floodplain Construction Inspector's Practice Exam

For glazing not located in doors or specific enclosures, it can be tested according to which standard?

1. ANSI Z97.1

2. ASTM F2668

3. ISO 14001

4. ANSI A137.1

The correct answer is: ANSI Z97.1

The selection of ANSI Z97.1 for the testing of glazing not located in doors or specific enclosures is based on its focus on safety glazing materials used in buildings. This standard outlines the performance requirements for glass used in various applications, ensuring that the materials can withstand impact and provide safety to occupants. ANSI Z97.1 addresses specific conditions such as breakage resistance and the potential for injury from broken glass, making it suitable for assessing general glazing applications beyond structured enclosures. In contrast, the other standards are not tailored to the requirements of glazing specifically. ASTM F2668 is focused on the safety requirements for impact-resistant glazing in the context of safety and security but is less related to broader glazing applications. ISO 14001 pertains to environmental management systems and does not address glazing safety or performance. ANSI A137.1 deals with ceramic tiles, not glazing materials used in construction. Thus, ANSI Z97.1 is the most relevant and appropriate choice for testing glazing not found in doors or specific enclosures.
