IK impact resistance

EN 50102

What is the EN 50102 standard?

The EN 50102 standard is the origin of the IEC/EN 62262 standard

The IK Code was originally defined in the European standard EN 50102. After EN 50102 was adopted as the international standard IEC 62262, the EN50102 standard was also renamed EN 62262 in the course of harmonization. The EN 50102 was then no longer maintained. It is often customary for international standards and European standards to be the same in terms of numbers in order to bring some order to the jungle of standards.

Here you will find a detailed explanation of the EN/IEC 62262 standard

Impactinator® Glass - IK10 glass a drop of water in the air
Vandal-proof protective glass

Our Impactinator® glass meets the stringent IK10 impact resistance requirements without needing laminated glass construction. In the bullet impact test according to EN/IEC 62262, our glass withstands over 40 joules of force on 2.8 mm thin glass, surpassing the standard’s requirements. Furthermore, it exceeds the EN 60068-2-75 standard by more than 100%.

This exceptional performance ensures superior durability and protection, making Impactinator® an ideal choice for high-impact environments. Whether for industrial, commercial, or residential applications, our glass provides unmatched strength and reliability, delivering peace of mind for all users.
