1 Scope
This European Standard defines a test procedure to permit classification of the bullet
resistance of windows, doors, shutters and blinds (complete with their infills).
This European Standard concerns only behaviour in respect of the frame of the windows,
doors, shutters or blinds, their infills and the junctions between the infills and
frames.
If the windows and doors are subjected to specific conditions of climate, specific
conditions of test may be required.
It does not apply to the testing of glass infills. For the testing of glass infills
refer to prEN 1063.
This European Standard gives no information on the behaviour of the frame subjected
to other types of stresses.
It gives no information on the bullet resistance of the junction between the frame
and the wall or other surrounding structure.
Shutters and blinds must be tested separately and not in conjunction with a window
or door, in order to achieve classification in terms of bullet resistance.
NOTE Care should be taken to ensure that all joints between the surrounding wall and the
window, door, shutter or blind will have bullet resistance at least equal to that
of the window, door, shutter or blind.
