European foreword
This document (prEN 1063:2019) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 129 “Glass in
building”, the secretariat of which is held by NBN.
This document is currently submitted to the CEN Enquiry.
This document will supersede EN 1063:1999.
The main changes compared to the previous edition are:
a) A new ammunition was added for class BR3;
b) A new class was created for rifles (KS);
c) Extension rules have been clearly defined.
Introduction
The main requirement for bullet-resistant glazing is to prevent the penetration of projectiles from
various types of weapon. The classification of bullet-resistance of glazing in this document is a technical
classification, based on common weapons and ammunition, in order of attacking power. As the variety
of weapons and ammunition does not allow them all to be taken into account, a selection had to be
made that covers most weapons and ammunition. The choice of bullet-resistant glazing is established
by the user for each individual case.
1 Scope
This document specifies performance requirements and test methods for the classification of the bullet-
resistance of glass (consisting of one or more layers of glass) and glass/plastic composites.
NOTE 1 The term “bullet-resistant glazing” applies to products that have the obvious characteristics of glass,
but it is understood to include also laminated products of glass and plastics and in some saces, insulating glass
units.
This document applies to:
— attack by handguns, rifles and shotguns;
— glazing in buildings, for interior and exterior use;
— the glazing product itself, assuming proper fixing;
NOTE 2 The protection provided by bullet-resistant glazing depends not only on the product itself, but also
upon the design and fixing of the glass.
2 Normative references
The following documents are referred to in the text in such a way that some or all of their content
constitutes requirements of this document. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For
undated references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies.

hardness)
3 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply.
ISO and IEC maintain terminological databases for use in standardization at the following addresses:
— IEC Electropedia: available at http://www.electropedia.org/
— ISO Online browsing platform: available at http://www.iso.org/obp
3.1
bullet-resistant glazing
security glazing that affords a defined resistance against the firing of specified weapons and
ammunition
Note 1 to entry: The glass or plastics component of a unitary bullet-resistant panel may be separated by gas
space
3.2
witness foil
sheet of aluminium foil positioned behind the test piece in order to detect splinters ejected from the
rear face of the test piece by the impact of the bullet and to determine the risks of injury due to the
ejection of these splinters
3.3
attack face
face of a bullet-resistant glazing, marked by the manufacturer and/or supplier that is designed to face
the attack
3.4
perforation
piercing of a test piece by a bullet or by bullet fragments, and/or creation of an opening from the attack
face to the rear face
3.5
striking distance
distance between the centres of two strikes on a test piece
3.6
bullet velocity
velocity of the bullet measured within 2,5 m in front of the attack face of the test piece
3.7
test range
distance between the muzzle of the firearm and the attack face of the test piece
4 Classification of the levels of bullet-resistance and test conditions
4.1 Classification and requirements for the testing
The bullet-resistance glazing intended to withstand certain level(s) of attack shall be classified
according to a class defined in one or more of the tables 1 to 3.
The target should be to match as closely as possible the nominal test conditions.
