EN 1063 Indoor Glass, Safety Glass, Testing and Classification of Resistance to Bullet Attack

The term "bulletproof glass" applies to products with the distinctive properties of glass, but is understood to also include laminated glass and plastic products.

This standard applies to:

  • Assault with pistol, rifle and shotgun;
  • Glass in buildings, for interior and exterior use.

For outdoor use, the influence of outdoor temperature and weather conditions should be taken into account for indoor use at (18±5)°C. Any additional requirements should be agreed between the buyer and seller.

The protection provided by bulletproof glass depends not only on the product itself, but also on the design and fixing of the glass.

Glass splinters from the back face of the test piece and bullet fragments passing through the test piece are collected by a splinter collection box placed behind the test piece and fixed to the rigid frame. It shall have an opening of at least 440mm X 440mm matching the target area in the frame in front of the splinter collection box and completely close the gap between the test piece and the witness foil.
