Testing Protocol Guidelines:

  • Impact/Cycling Tests  per PA-201 & PA-203
  • Uniform Static/Air/Water  per PA-202 (ASTM E-330)
  • Compression Tests  per ASTM E-72
  • Racking Tests  per ASTM E-72
  • Tensile Tests  per ASTM E-72

 Atlas-Wall Panels missile tested at 80-ft/sec. (Miami-Dade requirement is at 50-ft/sec.)  Passing the 80-ft/sec. missile impact tests, qualifies the Atlas-Wall Panel for the requirements for the Florida State Code or ASTM standards.  This higher standard qualifies the Atlas-Wall Panel for the standards of: 'ENHANCED PROTECTION BUILDINGS'.

Currently the International Code Council abides by the ASTM guidelines for ‘shelter’ status requirements.
