Safety Film instead of Tempered Glass

Im building a new home and I have a window thats at the bottom of a set of stairs. The building inspector failed my inspection because the glass is not tempered (my F up). I really cant replace the window so Im hoping that 8 mil security film will enable me to pass inspection. I have done jobs for builders that have not installed tempered glass near bathtubs and they have asked for 4mil and im assuming that worked because i never heard back.

Can someone tell me what code is? and does a certain safety film conform to that code? I will need documentation. link?

Thanks
Johnny

some film mannys have had the independent lab testing done and you can get the documentation present it to the inspector and see if it will be accepted Good Luck

, we had a run of security film for poolside applications after some laws were inacated for pool /glass proximity and there were several municipalities that accepted the film for compliance. seems they would accept it for yours (hopefully)

nice find pmuzik
