Bullet-resistant glass is a thick laminated composite of glass, interlayers and often polycarbonate that is tested to stop specific firearms under BS EN 1063. The class, from BR1 to BR7 plus the shotgun classes SG1 and SG2, describes the weapon and ammunition the glass has been shown to stop. Ratings belong to the manufacturer's tested product, and their test evidence comes with your quote.

Building regulations and safety in Northern Ireland
Planning permission
Planning in Northern Ireland is handled by the eleven councils, which decide whether a new or altered shopfront needs permission; changing the glass in an existing frame usually does not. Bollards or barriers on a public footway need consent from the Department for Infrastructure's roads service.
Fire-rated glass is different
Glass in fire doors and fire screens must be fire-rated glass tested within that system, under Technical Booklet E and, for non-domestic premises, the Fire and Rescue Services (Northern Ireland) Order 2006 and Fire Safety Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2010. Security and laminated glass are not fire-rated unless the product is tested for it.

Bullet-resistant glass in Craigavon: questions
Can you survey in Craigavon and nearby towns?
Yes. Surveys in Craigavon, Lurgan and Portadown are booked around installer availability.
How thick is bullet-resistant glass?
It ranges from around 20 mm for lower handgun classes to well over 50 mm for rifle classes, depending on the manufacturer's makeup and whether polycarbonate is used.
Can you fit bullet-resistant glass into existing frames?
Rarely. Ballistic glass is thick and heavy and its rating depends on a frame tested with it. In most cases the frame and glass are replaced together.
Can any glass stop every bullet?
No. Glass is tested to resist particular weapons and ammunition, which is why it is called bullet-resistant and given a BS EN 1063 class rather than described as stopping everything.
