In Europe, the classification of building components is carried out according to the SN EN 13501-2 standard, which defines the following fire performance classes: EI, EW, E.
EI Class – Integrity and Insulation
Class EI (Integrity & Insulation) is considered as the highest performance classification level for fire compartmentalization.
EW Class – Integrity and Radiation control
Class EW (Integrity & Radiation) rating is also a measure of Integrity performance (E) with the addition of the ability to minimize radiant heat transfer from the fire side to the unexposed side.
E Class – Integrity
Integrity Class (E) is the measure of the ability of a construction element with a separating function to withstand fire exposure without the transmission of fire to the unexposed side as a result of the passage of flames or hot gases.
When it comes to protecting people, there can be no compromise in your building’s security precautions. In today’s world, we face increasing dangers of attack by intruders, shootings, and explosions in public spaces.
Vetrotech’s glass solutions can resist such threats while meeting every building requirement to achieve seamless architectural integration.
Attack Class
Attack- or burglar-resistant glass is classified based on its ability to resist manual attacks by tools such as hammers, crowbars and power tools.
Bullet Class
Bullet-resistant glass (often referred to as “Bullet Proof”) is classified to a set of standardized levels of ballistic protection, for example BR1 through BR7 as determined by the European standard EN 1063.
Blast Class
Blast-resistant glass is a specialized type of glass designed to withstand the dangers of explosions and other high-pressure events.
