EN 1523 Windows - Doors and Shutters - Bullet Resistance - Test Method

EUROLAB, with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, provides precise and fast testing services within the scope of EN 1523 testing. This European standard specifies a test procedure that allows the lead resistance classification of windows, doors and shutters (with their inlays).

EN 1523 Windows - Doors and Shutters - Bullet Resistance - Test Method

This European standard deals only with the behavior of framing of windows, doors, shutters or shutters, their infill, and the connections between infills and frames. If windows and doors are subjected to certain climatic conditions, certain test conditions may be required. Not applicable for testing glass sealants.

If windows and doors are subjected to certain climatic conditions, certain test conditions may be required. This European standard does not provide information on the behavior of the frame subjected to other types of stresses. It does not provide information on the lead resistance of the connection between the frame and the wall or other surrounding structure.

To achieve a rating for bullet resistance, shutters and shutters must be tested separately, not in conjunction with a window or door.

The number and types of test specimens required are determined by the testing laboratory from examination of all drawings of windows, doors, shutters or blinds.

The size of the test specimens will be agreed between the testing laboratory and the applicant and will allow a valid decision to be made about the lead resistance of windows, doors, shutters and blinds of varying sizes.

The sealants are to be tested at the same time as the frame, except for the glass inlays, which have already been tested and comply with EN 1063. In all cases, the connections between the glass infill and the frame will be tested. Any glass infill will have at least the same resistance as that required for a window or door.
