Typical mechanical and ballistic properties for EN 1522 / FB6 / FB7 plates include:
| Property | Typical Value |
|---|---|
| Yield Strength | 900 – 1200 MPa (varies by supplier and thickness) |
| Tensile Strength | 1200 – 1500 MPa |
| Hardness | 350 – 500 BHN, depending on protection level |
| Ballistic Rating | Certified to stop 5.56×45mm and 7.62×51mm NATO rounds (as per FB6 / FB7) |
| Impact Toughness | High, suitable for multi-hit resistance |
| Thickness Range | Usually 6 mm to 20 mm for FB6/FB7 levels |
For your project, we can provide EN 1522 conformity certificates, third-party ballistic test reports, and technical datasheets on request.
EN 1522 is the official European standard that defines ballistic resistance levels for doors, windows, shutters, and similar security products.
| Standard | Description |
|---|---|
| EN 1522 / FB6 | Tested for 5.56x45mm and 7.62x51mm rifle rounds |
| EN 1522 / FB7 | Higher threat level for armor-piercing 7.62x51mm rounds |
| EN 1063 | Glass and transparent materials for ballistic resistance |
| MIL-DTL-46100 | U.S. equivalent high hardness armor (for reference only) |
| STANAG 4569 Level 2/3 | For comparison in military vehicle armoring |
| Custom OEM Security Specs | Available on request |
Important Note: While EN 1522 governs architectural armor, the steel plates used (FB6 / FB7) must still meet the specified ballistic performance through lab-certified testing.

From urban combat zones to riot-prone civilian areas, armor & protection steel plates play a critical role in safeguarding lives, assets, and infrastructure.
Armor steel isn’t one-size-fits-all. Based on mission type, threat level, region-specific compliance, and user profile (military, VIP, civilian), different armor plate grades are engineered for maximum protection, performance, and cost-efficiency.
