Covers a test procedure to permit classification of the bullet resistance of doors, windows, blinds and shutters (complete with their infills). Tests may be required on doors and windows that are subjected to specific conditions of climate. Not applicable to the testing of glass infills, for this refer to prEN 1063. There is no information given on behaviour of frames subjected to other types of stresses, nor to the bullet resistance of the junction between the frame and wall or other surrounding structure.

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.
