If it meet the test.........I don't see why laminated would not, it it is good enough for car windshields, I would think it meets the tests.

2406.2 Impact test. Where required by other sections of this
code, glazing shall be tested in accordance with CPSC 16
CFR Part 1201. Glazing shall comply with the test criteria for
Category II, unless otherwise indicated in Table 2406.2(1).

I agree
Safety glazing material, usually tempered glass or laminated glass, reduces the risk of injury. This is accomplished in the case of tempered by the characteristic break pattern-many small pieces, and by the adhesion of the glass pieces to the inner plastic layer in the case of laminated glass.

I agree also.
