Course Description
Bullet resistant products are a necessary safety precaution that
protects the general public, while limiting an employer’s liability for
taking adequate safety measures. This one hour online course allows
the design professional to discover the need for and applications of
bullet resistant products. Design professionals will develop an
understanding of the levels of bullet resistance, as well as how to
specify these products for a structure. We will conclude this course
with a brief 10 question quiz.

INTRODUCTION
Need for bullet resistant products
Bullet resistant products should be used
anywhere there is a concern of attack with a gun.
It’s another form of physical security against
robberies, terrorist attacks, etc.
Bullet resistant products should be used to
protect against being shot or to limit an
employers liability for not providing adequate
protection for employees.

INTRODUCTION
Bullet resistant product uses
Bullet resistant products are widely used in
courtrooms, government and corporate offices,
banks, convenience stores, gas stations, retail
buildings, check cashing facilities, cashier
booths, prisons, vehicles and any place where
ballistic and attack resistant security is required.

WHAT ARE THE DIFFERENCES?
UL Most widely recognized bullet resistant classifying and testing
organization
Regular follow up testing is required for UL Listed products
NIJ R&D and evaluation center for the Department of Justice
No follow up testing is available. Most bullet resistant (BR) glazing
products are not tested to the NIJ standards
H.P. White Will test products to the manufacturers specs (may not be as stringent
as UL)
No follow up testing

SPECIFYING BULLET RESISTANT PRODUCTS
Determine desired bullet resistant (BR) level.
Note: All BR products should have the same
protection level (i.e: doors, windows and
fiberglass should all be Level 4)
BR protection specifications should be specified
in Section 13070 of the CSI Master Format
![Page 26: Bullet Resistant Products, Applications and Other Physical Security Threats](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020706/61fca4b19d50e757a52201f0/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
SPECIFYING BR PRODUCTS con’t
Contact a BR manufacturer for guidance
concerning specifications and request a
technical binder if available
For your own security you should require
Product Liability Insurance from the
manufacturer

PRO’S and CON’S of each type of glazing:
Bullet Resistant Laminated Glass (BRG) scratch resistant (2 exposed glass surfaces) but heavy, thick
and with a noticeable greenish tint
Glass Clad Polycarbonate (GCP) lighter, thinner and without the greenish tint of BRG, slightly
more expensive with 1 plastic surface
Glass Poly Glass (GPG) (not UL Listed because of
spalling)
well suited for full light doors since it is scratch resistant and
does not have a tendency to warp

PRO’S and CON’S of each type of glazing:
Polycarbonate
Lightest in weight, clearest, though most expensive and has
2 plastic surfaces. Most easily vandalized or to show wear
and tear.
Acrylic
the most clear of all the glazing types but it’s thick and will
not protect above Level 3. Unless hard coated, it is
susceptible to scratching. Often used in banks (without
frames) due to it’s crystal clear appearance.

TRANSACTION WINDOWS
Transaction Windows are typically used in
banks, ticket offices, government offices or
anywhere where (cash, documents) are
exchanged from one side of the window to the
other. The configurations are limitless. A
transaction window can be fabricated with any
frame style, any type of glazing or any
dimension required to suite your design.

STUDY 1
A high profile wholesale jeweler in Manhattan wanted to upgrade the physical security in their corporate office.
Level 3 bullet resistant double full lite wood doors were installed as well as a transaction window, package receiver and non-ricochet fiberglass panels in the walls surrounding the window, doors and package receiver.

STUDY 2
Recognizing the increased security threat, a U.S. Customs office located at an international airport upgraded the ballistic protection from Level 3 (.44 Magnum) to Level 8 (multiple shots from a 7.62MM rifle). A hollow metal door and fiberglass panels were installed at the front entrance to accomplish this security enhancement.
