AB is our range of bullet-resistant laminated safety glass. It meets the requirements relating to the protection of individuals against gunfire (hand guns, hunting rifles etc.) and has undergone the official testing in standard EN 1063 from class BR1 S to class BR6 S.
This classification relates to shots of various calibres, ranging from 22 LR to 7.62 NATO hard steel core, fired from a precision rifle. Another classification in the same standard is used to characterise the resistance of the glass to hunting rifle fire: SG1 & SG2.
The bulletproof characteristics of our AB range are in addition combined with excellent intruder resistance.
All products can be manufactured from extra-clear glass on request, or combined with functional glass of the sunlight-control or fire-protection type.

More about standard EN 1063
European standard EN 1063 defines the conventional test procedure used to achieve classification of glazing systems depending on their resistance to projectiles from firearms. It defines: the munitions used for the tests, the test conditions for the glazing as well as the criteria used to classify the glazing. Munitions are classified into seven classes (+ 2 for hunting guns) which correspond to classes of glazing of increasing resistance.
