As of current updates, there are no finalized new public safety mandates for intrusion protection standards set specifically for 2026. While the regulatory landscape is active, the following points clarify the current status:

  • Ongoing Evaluations: Organizations such as ASTM and the GSA are continuously evaluating and updating forced entry standards and intrusion resistance testing protocols.
  • Proposed Changes: State-level building codes, particularly those concerning schools and critical infrastructure, may evolve by 2026; however, these currently remain in the proposal stages.
  • Professional Consultation: Because no finalized mandates have been issued at this time, it is recommended that facility managers consult with a security professional for the latest guidance tailored to their specific location and facility type.

Currently, industry professionals continue to rely on established benchmarks such as UL 972 for burglary resistance and ASTM F1233 for security glazing to measure and verify film performance.
