{"id":2740,"count":6,"description":"<h2><strong>What EN 1063 certification means for glazing<\/strong><\/h2>\r\n<p>\r\n<strong>EN 1063<\/strong> is the European standard used to classify the ballistic resistance of security glazing. Glazing is classified into <strong>BR1 to BR7<\/strong> for handgun and rifle threats and, separately, <strong>SG1 to SG2<\/strong> for shotgun-related threats.\r\n<\/p>\r\n<p>\r\nThe correct class is selected based on the threat assessment, the operational environment and the overall protected counter design.\r\n<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2><strong>EN 1063 glazing classes: BR1 to BR7<\/strong><\/h2>\r\n<p>\r\nBelow is a practical overview of the BR classes. Final specification should always be confirmed at project level, as glazing build-ups and system integration depend on the installation.\r\n<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h3><strong>BR1<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n<p>\r\nEntry-level bullet-resistant glazing class, typically specified for lower-risk environments requiring basic ballistic protection.\r\n<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h3><strong>BR2<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n<p>\r\nEnhanced resistance against common handgun threats, suitable for exposed public-facing counters.\r\n<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h3><strong>BR3<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n<p>\r\nHigher handgun resistance class for service environments with increased risk.\r\n<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h3><strong>BR4<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n<p>\r\nUpper handgun resistance class, often specified for high-exposure service counters.\r\n<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h3><strong>BR5<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n<p>\r\nRifle-resistance class associated with long-weapon threats, used in higher-risk environments.\r\n<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h3><strong>BR6<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n<p>\r\nHigher rifle-resistance class for critical infrastructure and high-risk service points.\r\n<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h3><strong>BR7<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n<p>\r\nHighest BR class within EN 1063, specified for the most demanding protection profiles.\r\n<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2><strong>Other EN 1063 classes: SG1 and SG2<\/strong><\/h2>\r\n<p>\r\nEN 1063 also includes <strong>SG1 and SG2<\/strong> classifications for shotgun threats. These are specified when required by the threat assessment and project design.\r\n<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2><strong>System integration matters<\/strong><\/h2>\r\n<p>\r\nBallistic performance depends not only on the glazing but also on how it is integrated into the frame and counter system. For this reason, bullet-proof windows are specified as complete systems rather than as glazing alone.\r\n<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2><strong>Options for protected service windows<\/strong><\/h2>\r\n<ul>\r\n  <li><a href=\"https:\/\/arcasgruber.com\/en\/payment-products\/intercom-systems\/\">Intercom systems<\/a> for clear two-way communication.<\/li>\r\n  <li><a href=\"https:\/\/arcasgruber.com\/en\/payment-products\/transfer-trays\/\">Transfer trays<\/a> for drawer-based exchange.<\/li>\r\n  <li><a href=\"https:\/\/arcasgruber.com\/en\/payment-products\/pass-through-trays\/\">Pass-through trays<\/a> for open tray exchange.<\/li>\r\n  <li><a href=\"https:\/\/arcasgruber.com\/en\/payment-products\/dispenser-counters\/\">Dispenser counters<\/a> for integrated service counter solutions.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n\r\n<h2><strong>Installation guidance<\/strong><\/h2>\r\n<p>\r\nBullet-proof windows must be installed by qualified professionals. Correct anchoring, frame fixing and glazing integration are essential to ensure that the specified EN 1063 class is maintained in real-world conditions.\r\n<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2><strong>FAQs<\/strong><\/h2>\r\n\r\n<h3><strong>Which BR class should I choose?<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n<p>\r\nSelection depends on the threat assessment, service environment and overall system design.\r\n<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h3><strong>Is EN 1063 certification only about the glass?<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n<p>\r\nEN 1063 classifies glazing, but real performance depends on correct system integration.\r\n<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h3><strong>Can bullet-proof windows be combined with transfer systems and intercoms?<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n<p>\r\nYes. They are commonly specified as part of a complete protected service counter solution.\r\n<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2><strong>Need project guidance?<\/strong><\/h2>\r\n<p>\r\nIf you need assistance specifying bullet-proof windows with EN 1063 certified glazing (BR1\u2013BR7), please contact our team via <a href=\"https:\/\/arcasgruber.com\/en\/contact\/\">our contact page<\/a>.\r\n<\/p>\r\n","link":"https:\/\/arcasgruber.com\/en\/payment-products\/bullet-proof-windows\/","name":"Bullet-proof windows","slug":"bullet-proof-windows","taxonomy":"product_cat","parent":2722,"meta":[],"menu_order":25,"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/arcasgruber.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat\/2740","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/arcasgruber.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/arcasgruber.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/taxonomies\/product_cat"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/arcasgruber.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat\/2722"}],"wp:post_type":[{"href":"https:\/\/arcasgruber.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product?product_cat=2740"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
