SBD Development Officer Doug Skins said: “It’s great that U70 has renewed their membership with Secured by Design, continuing their commitment to quality and safety standards in the industry”.
U70 said: “Achieving the Secured by Design accreditation is a testament to our belief that all fabricators should work to this standard to ensure the products being supplied to the market are of the highest quality in manufacturing and security, giving piece of mind to the home owner.”
SBD is a police-owned organisation that works on behalf of the Police service throughout the UK to deliver a wide range of crime prevention and demand reduction initiatives.
SBD plays a significant crime prevention role in the planning process to design out crime in a wide range of building sectors. It has achieved some significant success including one million homes built to SBD standards with reductions in crime of up to 87%.
SBD have many partner organisations, ranging from the Home Office, Ministry of Housing, Communities & Local Government and the Police Service through to local authorities, housing associations, developers and manufacturers and work closely with standards and certification bodies to ensure that their publicly available standards actually meet the needs of the police and public alike.
Products must be subjected to vigorous testing and auditing by an accredited third-party organisation before being allowed to carry the SBD logo – this is the only way for companies to obtain Police accreditation for security related products in the UK.
