Determine required safety glazing category (CPSC 16 CFR 1201 Category I/II) for hazardous locations under IBC 2406

Steps

1. Confirm the current text of 16 CFR Part 1201 on ecfr.gov (Consumer Product Safety Commission's Safety Standard for Architectural Glazing Materials), since eCFR reflects the current codified regulation.
2. Identify the applicable IBC edition adopted by the local AHJ, then locate the current hazardous-location table (IBC Section 2406 and its glazing tables) in that specific edition, since table numbers can shift between code cycles.
3. Determine which hazardous locations on the project trigger safety glazing (doors, glazing adjacent to doors, glazing near walking surfaces/stairs, wet locations, etc.) per the current IBC table.
4. Cross-reference the location-specific IBC table to determine whether CPSC Category I or Category II performance is required for each location — the category generally scales with glazing size/impact energy exposure.
5. Confirm the glazing product's CPSC 1201 category rating on its permanent label/certification, not just the general 'tempered' or 'laminated' designation, since not all tempered/laminated glass automatically meets Category I or II.
