This category of impact resistant glass product is for the protection of personnel by preventing the penetration of projectiles discharged from all variants of conventional firearms available.
Impacts from ballistic projectiles differ from hand-tools or common implements in several ways. The effect of an impact by a high velocity projectile with a small body mass, concentrated within a point surface area will generate a different result from, say, a blow from a sledgehammer.
The serious intent behind a ballistic attack requires bullet-resistant materials to fully meet the performance rating of the hazard level as specified in whichever Standards applicable. Formal certifications by recognized bodies is the basic endorsement of product acceptance by the market.
Classes of hazard levels are based, in ascending severity ratings, on the type of weapon, ammunition, impacting velocities, projectile design, number of shots to resist and other parameters that can affect the risk factor.
The spalling effect from such impacts is recognized as a hazard in some Standards, in which case the products has to be designed to be a non-spall grade to achieve the certification.
Bullet-resistant glasses are featured in vehicles for the transit of cash or valuable items or prominent persons, security installation and sensitive government buildings, financial institutions, etc. It is normally employed as a part of the overall security protection system, but as an indispensable component since would-be attacks will inevitably focus on the glazing location as they are normally perceived as the weakest points of the target body.
A vital component of a bullet-resistant glass protection setup is also the ballistic framing elements. Failure of the steel framing and any other mechanism or ironmongery associated with it will defeat the ballistic protection measure and render the system suspect. In practice, their accessories need in combination with the glazing are also rated and certified to the same hazard rating to have a recognized performance level of the total assembly.
