Glas im Bauwesen - Sicherheitssonderverglasung - Prüfverfahren und Klasseneinteilung für den Widerstand gegen Beschuß
Diese Norm legt Anforderungen und Prüverfahren für die Klassifizierung von durchschußhemmenden Verglasungen (ein- oder mehrschichtig) und Glas/Kunstoff- verbunden für das Bauwesen fest. Anmerkung: Der Begriff "durchschußhemmende Verglasung" bezieht sich auf Erzeugnisse, die die augenfälligen Eigenschaften von Glas haben; aber er beinhaltet auch Erzeugnisse mit Zwischenschichten aus Kunstoff oder Kombinationen aus beiden.
Verre dans la construction - Vitrage de sécurité - Mise à essai et classification de la résistance à l'attaque par balle
La présente norme européenne spécifie des exigences de performance et des méthodes d'essai permettant la classification des vitrages en verre (constitués d'une ou plusieurs couches de verre) et des vitrages composites verre/plastique en fonction de leur résistance aux balles. Note: L'expression "vitrage résistant aux balles" s'applique aux produits possédant les caractéristiques évidentes du verre, mais inclut également des produits tels que les produits à feuilles intercalaires en plastique et les produits mixtes.

Overview
EN 1063:1999 (CEN) specifies performance requirements and test methods for the classification of the bullet-resistance of glass and glass/plastic composites used in buildings. The standard establishes how products are tested and grouped into classes according to their ability to resist bullet attack, providing a consistent basis for specifying, procuring and installing security glazing.
Key Topics
- Scope and applicability: Applies to glazing products intended to resist bullet attack in building applications, including laminated glass and glass/plastic composite constructions.
- Test methods: Defines laboratory procedures to evaluate bullet penetration, fragmentation and residual hazards under controlled conditions.
- Classification: Establishes performance classes so designers and specifiers can compare products and select appropriate protection levels.
- Performance requirements: Focuses on safety outcomes rather than prescribing specific construction details, enabling a range of technologies to comply if they meet the required performance.
Applications
EN 1063:1999 is used to inform selection and specification of security glazing where ballistic protection is required. Typical applications include:
- Public buildings and government facilities - façades, windows and secure entry points.
- Financial institutions and cash-handling areas - teller screens, transaction windows, vault observation glazing.
- Critical infrastructure - control rooms, substations and transport hubs requiring enhanced protection.
- Security-sensitive premises - embassies, consulates, police and military facilities.
- Display and museum cases - where both security and visibility are required.
Practical benefits for practitioners:
- Risk mitigation: Clear classification helps match glazing performance to threat scenarios.
- Procurement clarity: Use EN 1063 classes in tender documents to specify required resistance without mandating a particular construction.
- Design integration: Architects and engineers can balance transparency, weight and protective performance when selecting products.
- Compliance and verification: Manufacturers provide test reports against EN 1063 to demonstrate conformance; third-party certification may be available.
Related Standards
EN 1063 is part of a wider body of glazing and security standards. Related references that practitioners commonly consider include:
- EN 356 (resistance to manual attack / security glazing for human impact and manual attack)
- EN 1627 series (resistance to burglary for doors, windows and curtain walling)
When specifying secure glazing, use EN 1063 in conjunction with building codes, risk assessments and other applicable standards to ensure holistic protection and regulatory compliance.
