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.

Before the glass is ordered
S or NS
If staff sit within arm's reach of the glass, specify NS so that no splinters come off the inside face.
Which BR class
Most UK counters that need ballistic protection specify a handgun class such as BR2 to BR4. Rifle classes are for specialist sites where a threat assessment calls for them.
Glazing rules in England
Fire-rated glass is different
Glass in fire doors, fire screens and protected escape routes has to be fire-rated glass tested as part of that door or screen system, under Approved Document B and the fire safety duties of the building's responsible person. Laminated and security glass are not fire-rated unless the product says so. Where a pane needs both fire and security performance, it must be a product tested for both.
Glazing in workplaces
Regulation 14 of the Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992 requires windows and transparent surfaces in walls, partitions, doors and gates to be of safety material or protected against breakage where health or safety makes that necessary, and to be marked so people notice them. The employer or the person in control of the premises decides what is needed through their risk assessment.

Bullet-resistant glass in Colne: questions
Can you survey in Colne and nearby towns?
Yes. Surveys in Colne, Nelson and Burnley are booked around installer availability.
What does NS mean on bullet-resistant glass?
NS means no splinters came off the protected face during the test. S means some fragments did. NS is the safer choice where people sit close behind the glass.
How do I know which BR class I need?
From a risk assessment of your site, often done by your security adviser, insurer or head office. We then quote glass and framing tested to that class.
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.
