Tests are conducted according to another standard (EN 1023).^[1] EN 1522 applies to windows, doors, shutters, and blinds, including their frames and infills, to assess their resistance to attacks involving handguns, rifles, and shotguns. This standard can be used for classifying a protection level of armored vehicles, buildings or another type of armored structures.^[2]
