Its usual representation XXX.Y indicates the thicknesses of the glazing and the number of PVB films. The nominal thickness of a film is 0.38 mm.
Example: 44.2 is composed of 2 glazings 4 mm thick and 2 PVB films
The range of glazing is segmented according to the level of performance and its use:

Standard EN 356 defines eight performance classes based on tests representing the ability of glazing to resist throwing objects (level 1) or attempted break-in using a sledgehammer or an ax ( level 2).
The performance of the laminates varies depending on the temperature.
Standard classification EN 356
Level 1
Corresponds to the ability of glazing to resist throwing objects.
The 4.1 kg ball drop test is satisfied if 3 test pieces resist penetration (3 triangle impacts).
Level 2
