Defines classification and requirements that windows, doors, shutters and blinds must satisfy when tested in accordance with EN 1523. Applies to attacks by hand guns, rifles and shotguns on windows, doors, shutters and blinds that are complete with their infills and frames for use in buildings both internally and externally. In order to achieve classification in terms of bullet resistance, shutters and blinds must be tested separately and not in conjunction with windows and doors.

This standard defines the requirements and classification that windows, doors, shutters and blinds must satisfy when tested in accordance with EN 1523.

This standard is applicable to attacks by hand guns, rifles and shotguns on windows, doors, shutters and blinds complete with their frames and infills, for use in both internal and external locations in buildings. 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.

This standard gives no information on the behaviour of the test item when 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.1)
