Hi Jon

This was taken directly from the fire code on e-laws. However for the purposes of emphasis, I italicized the specific words in question, so you are correct they are not defined terms.

This specfic article applies to cabinets for fire extinguishers, not hose cabinets. Believe it or not they used to be glass with a metal striker attached to break the glass. Yes they existed like that, showing my age!

I took the challenge on to try and break the acryclic and as the manufactuers states, it is none breakable.  I even got my arm kind of trapped in there trying to pull the acrylic window off 🙂

I agree with you though the code clearly states glass.
