Missile impact standards and testing
The ICC Standard for Residential Construction in High Wind Regions specifies that doors, skylights, and windows in the windborne debris region shall be either impact resistant or protected with an impact resistant covering. The windborne debris region is defined as regions within one mile of the coastal mean high water line where the basic wind speed is 110 mph or greater, and in all regions where the basic wind speed shown is 120 mph or greater.

The missile impact test fires an 8-foot long 2" x 4" at 50 feet per second at designated spots on the door glass and door slab. The entire unit must remain intact through 9,000 pressure cycles and also pass water-infiltration, structural loading, and forced air-infiltration tests.
