This voluntary Standard provides minimum planning, design,
construction, and assessment requirements for new and existing
buildings subject to the effects of accidental or malicious explosions,
including principles for establishing appropriate threat
parameters, levels of protection, loadings, analysis methodologies,
materials, detailing, and test procedures. However, this
Standard is not applicable for the mitigation of potential accidents
involving ammunition or explosives during their development,
manufacturing, testing, production, transportation, handling,
storage, maintenance, modifi cation, inspection, demilitarization,
or disposal.

This Standard is intended to supplement and not supersede the
requirements of the governing building code and other applicable
standards and laws. The omission of any specifi c material or
system does not necessarily preclude its use in accordance with
this Standard, as long as all applicable provisions are satisfi ed.
This Standard does not prescribe requirements or guidelines for
the mitigation of progressive collapse or other potential postblast
