What means safety film? EN 12 600 is huge - some 60 pages or more... Let's make it smaller ....

Safety films consist of a single or double thin layer of sheet polyester a pressure sensitive or a water-activated acrylic adhesive.

These films are generally four to seven mil ( 112-196 microns, 4 to 7 mil) in nominal thickness and designer to prevent or reduce likelihood of injury as a result of accidental glass breakage. These films meet nothing higher than just the mere "safety" standarts. By definition, a safety film is not a security film.
