CPSC Finalizes Changes to Architectural Glazing Safety Standard

The Consumer Product Safety Commission is adopting changes (here) to its mandatory safety standard on architectural glazing materials, replacing test procedures for glazing materials in certain architectural products with the testing procedures contained in the current ANSI voluntary standard. The Safety Glazing Certification Council had requested the changes to the standard, which applies to glazing materials, as well as architectural products incorporating glazing materials used in households, recreational, school and public buildings, including doors, storm doors, bathtub and shower doors, and sliding glass doors. The final rule takes effect April 22
