What are the different classes of attack-resistant glass?
EN 356 classifies attack-resistant glass from P1A to P8B, with P1A offering minimal impact resistance and P8B providing the highest security level against forced entry attempts.
How is EN 356 standard related to attack-resistant glass?
EN 356 is a safety glass standard that defines the testing and classification of resistance against manual attack.
How is attack-resistant glass tested for resistance to manual attack?
Glass is tested under EN 356 for P1A to P5A classification by the ball drop test. Higher classifications of P6B to P8B, must withstand sustained force from axe and hammer.
How does attack-resistant glass perform in terms of thermal insulation and solar control?
