The most common protection classes are BR4 and BR6. Hammerglass Ballistic Protection has been tested by the Ulm Ballistics Testing Institute in Germany and certified with protection classes BR4-NS and BR6-NS (No Splinter).

Explosion

A series of tests on Hammerglass panels was conducted in accordance with EN 13124-2 at SP (Technical Research Institute of Sweden) in Borås. Hammerglass panels in various formats were mounted in different steel frames. Subsequently, seven explosions were carried out from a distance of 3 and 5 meters. The results showed that 12 mm Hammerglass panels withstand the pressure wave generated by the detonation of 3 kg of TNT from a distance of 3 meters.
