Specifications for the security glazing,
levels A-B-C-D |
Contracrime Level A Tested
and certified to DIN Standards 5229-4
|
Test Method for security levels A 1 through A 3 to
DIN standards 52290-4-A
Each test panel has to withstand the impact of a 9
pound steel ball, dropped from a given test height. This test is repeated
3 times.
Test height for the drop: Level
A1 = 11.5 feet
A 2 = 21.5 feet
A 3 = 31.2 feet
- All security glazing can be ordered with built-in
"Alarm-Sekurit" wires. These invisible wires can be hooked
up to an existing alarm system or wired for future security systems.
- Level A, B & C glazing is tested and certified
for a maximum size of 5' x 7' per panel. Larger sizes are possible but
loose their DIN certification.
- Maximum glazing panel size which can be manufactured
12' x 8.5'.
- U-Value for double pane security glazing is
0,29.
Important:
Depending on the level of security, the increased
weight of the glazing is an important factor in designing opening
windows and doors. Each opening mechanism can carry a given load.
A tilt / turn or turn only mechanism can carry up to a maximum of
270 pounds. The tilt-slide sliding door up to 330 pounds and the slide
only sliding door up to 660 pounds.
If the weight is above this limit, the openings have to be reconfigured
by using a combination of fixed and opening panels

Contracrime
Level B Tested
and certified to DIN Standards 5229-3-B
|
Test Method for security levels B 1 through
B 3 to DIN standards 52290-3-B
Each test panel is subjected to the repeated
impact of a mechanically driven ax. This ax is sharp and weighs 4.5
pounds. The objective is to figure the number of hits it takes to create
an opening of the size by 1.3' by 1.3'.
Level
B 1 = 30 to 50 hits
B 2 = 51 to 70 hits
B 3 = > 70 hits
- All security glazing can be ordered with built-in
"Alarm-Sekurit" wires. These invisible wires can be hooked

for a maximum size of 5' x 7' per panel. Larger sizes are possible but
loose their DIN certification.
- Maximum glazing panel size which can be manufactured

Contracrime
Level C Tested
and certified to DIN Standards 5229-2-C
|
Test Method for security levels C 1 through
C 5 to DIN standards 52290-2-C
Three (3) shots fired at the test panel, distance
and ammunition according to the above table.
As with all DIN test methods, the worst case
scenario is the basis of each test.
- All
security glazing can be ordered with built-in "Alarm-Sekurit"
wires. These invisible wires can be hooked up to an existing alarm system
or wired for future security systems.
- Level A, B & C glazing is tested and certified
for a maximum size of 5' x 7' per panel. Larger sizes are possible but
loose their DIN certification.
- Maximum glazing panel size which can be manufactured
12' x 8.5'.
- U-Value for double pane security glazing is
0,29.
Important:
"Fauser" steel reinforced frames
can hold glazing up to a thickness of 31 mm or 1.22 inch. For glazing
thicker than that, a steel reinforced aluminum frame has to be used.
Depending on the level of security, the increased weight of the glazing
is an important factor in designing opening windows and doors. Each
opening mechanism can carry a given load. A tilt / turn or turn only
mechanism can carry up to a maximum of 270 pounds. The tilt-slide
sliding door up to 330 pounds and the slide only sliding door up to
660 pounds.
If the weight is above this limit, the openings have to be reconfigured
by using a combination of fixed and opening panels

Contracrime
Level D Tested
and certified to DIN Standards 5229-5-D
|
Test Method for security levels D 1 through D 3 to
DIN standards 52290-5-D
Test simulates the impact of an explosive similar
and equal to TNT. As with all DIN test methods, the worst case scenario
is the basis of east test.
- All security glazing can be ordered with built-in
"Alarm-Sekurit" wires. These invisible wires can be hooked
up to an existing alarm system or wired for future security systems.
- Level A, B & C glazing is tested and certified
for a maximum size of 5' x 7' per panel. Larger sizes are possible but
loose their DIN certification.
- Maximum glazing panel size which can be manufactured
12' x 8.5'.
- U-Value for double pane security glazing is 0,29.
- All glazing can also be ordered with a splitter free
laminate.

Combination Level
B - C - D Tested
and certified to DIN Standards 5229-3-2-5
|
All levels above C 1 - B 1 - D 2 only with aluminum
frames! Receiving walls for combination levels about C3-B3-D3 may have
to be pre-calculated by a civil engineer to ensure that they can safely
carry the load.
