Apr 14,2026
Bank bulletproof glass must strictly adhere to safety and compliance standards; the core basis is GA 38-2021 “Requirements for Bank Security Prevention” 、 GA 165-2016 “Bullet-Resistant Transparent Materials” and GA 844-2018 “Impact-Resistant Transparent Materials” Construction and acceptance shall simultaneously comply with national mandatory standards.
I. Core Standards and Performance Requirements
- Material Qualification : Must be selected GA 165-2016 Level 3, Class A Bulletproof, GA 844-2018 Class A, Category P Impact-resistant materials, accompanied by CMA/CNAS-accredited test reports and 3C certification; the use of ordinary glass as a substitute is strictly prohibited.
- Protective performance : Light transmittance ≥ 75%; does not fragment upon breakage; must withstand a 51-1 steel-core bullet fired from the Type 79 assault rifle, with no penetration on the back side.
- Environmental tolerance : Adapts to diverse banking environments through high- and low-temperature, salt-spray, and UV aging tests.
II. Key Installation and Construction Specifications
- Size Specifications : Each panel shall have a width ≤1800 mm, a height ≥1200 mm, and an area ≤4 m²; full-panel installation is strictly prohibited from requiring splicing.
- Fixed requirements : The frame shall be embedded in the steel structure and wall on three sides, with an embedding depth of ≥40 mm; the lower end shall be embedded in the counter by ≥20 mm; the frame shall be fabricated from ≥10-channel steel or 63×5 angle steel, securely connected to both the top and the floor.
- Gap Treatment : The gap between the frame and the opening shall be no more than 1.5 mm, filled with Class A fire-resistant rock wool and fire-sealing sealant, with exterior edge sealing to ensure fire and smoke containment.
- Detail craftsmanship : Chamfer the edges to 2–3 mm; drilling is prohibited. Install fire-resistant shims and provide a 3–4 mm expansion joint to prevent stress-induced cracking.
III. Key Inspection Points for Acceptance
Verify material qualifications, installation integrity, sealing tightness, and bullet-resistance sampling test results to ensure full compliance with bank security standards.
