Stone Security Engineering recently supported the General Services Administration in developing an engineering based interpretation of the 2010 ISC Physical Security Criteria for Federal Facilities. GSA’s new document is scheduled for release in September.  The new GSA document will address blast and progressive collapse requirements and will be applicable to all GSA buildings and other facilities, covered by the ISC Physical Security Criteria for Federal Facilities, that are classified as FSL III or IV.

The 2010 ISC Physical Security Criteria for Federal Facilities superseded the ISC Security Design Criteria for New Federal Office Buildings and Major Modernization Projects, September 29, 2004 and the ISC Security Standards for Leased Space, September 29, 2004.  There are many differences between the Current and Superseded documents that may result in significant differences on the final design of buildings. It is important that project teams understand these differences early in project design and planning so that they may be effectively implemented.

Stone Security Engineering will be providing face to face and web-based training as soon as the document is released.  Send us an email at info@StoneSecurityEngineering.com if you are interested in participating.
