Steps
Search astm.org for 'E1300' — the current standard (E1300-24) is sold directly by ASTM at store.astm.org (e.g., store.astm.org/e1300-24.html) as a paid PDF/print document
Confirm there is no free, complete public mirror of the current E1300 charts; older superseded editions (e.g., E1300-16) circulate informally as PDFs on some third-party/fabricator sites but should not be relied on for current-code compliance since chart values and use conditions have been revised across editions
For non-critical, order-of-magnitude checks, note that several manufacturer technical bulletins and glass calculators (offered free by companies like Total Security Solutions or fabricators) implement E1300 methodology but are not a substitute for owning the standard when stamping engineering documents
Budget for direct ASTM purchase (single-standard PDF) if a licensed design professional needs the authoritative current charts
Confirm which E1300 edition the applicable building code or project spec incorporates by reference before purchasing, since IBC editions cite specific ASTM E1300 years
Known gotchas
ASTM E1300 is copyrighted and paywalled at the source — there is no legitimate free official copy of the current edition; treat any 'free full PDF' found via search as a possibly outdated or unauthorized copy
Design charts in E1300 are edition-specific (glass type factors and load-share tables have changed across revisions); using an old free PDF for a project governed by a newer code-referenced edition can produce non-compliant thickness selections
