Impact Security, a leader in innovative retrofit security solutions, announces that its RiotLite® Security Window Film has achieved the highest performance rating recorded under the rigorous ASTM 3561 standards, setting a new benchmark for security window film technology.

The ASTM 3561 standard (Standard Test Method for Forced-Entry-Resistance of Fenestration Systems After Simulated Active Shooter Attack) is the latest testing protocol for evaluating security window films against forced entry and impact scenarios. RiotLite excelled, demonstrating unmatched strength and durability in holding single pane, ¼” (6mm) tempered glass together and delaying unauthorized entry. This achievement is critical for school administrators seeking advanced solutions to protect campuses from modern threats, including active shooter attacks on common window and door glass types.

“RiotLite represents a breakthrough in safety glazing innovation,” said Mark Mineer, President of Impact Security. By meeting ASTM 3561 standards at Level 3, we’ve proven that RiotLite is a game-changing solution designed to help school officials protect the most common access points—ground-level windows, entryways, and glass doors. This technology allows the critical time needed for occupants to take protective measures and for first responders to intervene.”
