Ballistic Steel
In keeping with the IAG philosophy of Total Quality Management, we only utilize pre-certified ballistic grade steel.  The pre-certified ballistic grade steel is tested by a third party, independent of the manufacturer, to the protection levels as required by IAG using the standards set out in the Ballistics Standards section.  All pre-certified ballistic grade steel used by IAG is labeled with heat numbers, making each piece of steel traceable back to the manufacturer. Using such steel means the manufacturer is fully confident in the craftsmanship and quality of the steel. IAG is among the few armored vehicle manufacturers to exclusively use only pre-certified ballistic steel with heat numbers.
Ballistic Glass
Ballistic glass cannot maintain the claimed level of protection at higher temperatures. This effect has been demonstrated and confirmed by several independent testing laboratories for Ballistic Glass. IAG utilizes ballistic glass with Solar Plus™, a feature which maintains ballistic glass performance even at higher ambient temperatures.  In addition, our in-house quality control ensures the best optical clarity through rigorous visual inspection and “grid-boarding”. All curvatures are tested to maintain the best fit, therein creating the lowest possible stress on the glass.
