Doors
The standards listed below are for complete doorsets.
A doorset is a complete door assembly consisting of the door frame, door leaf (or leaves), hardware and any integral side panel or fanlight.
(SBD will be introducing a transition process for member companies and will provide a date to meet this requirement in due course)
Enhanced security performance requirements for doorsets and windows in the UK. Doorsets and windows intended to offer a level of security suitable for dwellings and other buildings exposed to comparable risk.
This PAS supercedes PAS 24:2022 with effect from 16th October and provides an updated method for testing and assessing the enhanced security performance requirements of doorsets and windows of all material types.
It is designed to mimic an attack by an opportunist burglar, using tools which are easy to conceal. Products must also meet the general performance requirements as listed below:
BS 6375-1:2015+A1:2016 Performance of windows and doors - Part 1: Classification for weather tightness and guidance on selection and specification
BS 6375-2:2009 Performance of windows and doors – Part 2: Classification for operation and strength characteristics and guidance on selection and specification
BS 6375-3:2009+A1:2013 Performance of windows and doors Part 3: Classification for additional performance characteristics and guidance on selection and specification
BS 6375 parts 1, 2 & 3 certifies that a particular doorset is fit for purpose. These standards have replaced PAS 23:1999 which has been withdrawn.
This PAS superseded PAS 24:2016 (withdrawn) and came into effect from 20th September 2020. It provides a method for testing and assessing the enhanced security performance requirements of doorsets and windows and covers all material types.
Products must also meet the general performance requirements as per PAS 24:2022 +A1:2024.
Enhanced security performance requirements for doorsets and windows in the UK. Doorsets and windows intended to offer a level of security suitable for dwellings and other buildings exposed to comparable risk.
Enhanced security performance requirements for doorsets and windows in the UK. Doorsets and windows intended to offer a level of security suitable for dwellings and other buildings exposed to comparable risk.
This PAS has been superceded by PAS 24:2022 however, due to factors beyond our control, SBD have made the decision to permit the acceptance of this standard until 31st December 2025.
Enhanced security to satisfy the requirements for certification of doorsets, tested in accordance with PAS24 & BS6375
As the title suggests, this is an equivalent test standard to PAS 24. It incorporates fitness for purpose testing, and is published by Warringtonfire Testing and Certification Limited.
Requirements for burglary resistance of construction products including doorsets, windows, curtain walling, security grilles, garage doors, roller shutters, fences and barriers.
This is an enhanced test, specifying a similar range of attack tools and times to those used within the Loss Prevention Certification Board (LPCB) LPS1175 standard, including attacks with power tools. Products are rated via the term Burglary Resistance (BR) and range from BR1 (Lower security rating, similar to LPS1175 SR1) to BR6 (Higher security rating, similar to LPS1175 SR6). An example of this would be STS 202 BR2 etc... However, STS202 does not extend to cover the higher levels of risk addressed within LPS1175 Security Rating 7 or above (Issue 7) & F15 and above (Issue 8) . It is published by Warringtonfire Testing and Certification Limited.
Stealth burglary resistance requirements for construction products including doorsets, windows, curtain walling, security grilles, garage doors, roller shutters, fences and barriers
This is a new Security Technical Schedule (STS) for stealth burglary based on the existing test methodology of STS202, where intruders are more likely to use stealth and avoid generating noise. For situations where less consideration is given to noise, certification to STS202 should be considered.
Approval and Red Book listing of ballistic resistant windows, doors, shutters and blinds plus associated glazing – This can also include facades, glazing infills and window frames. Doors certified to LPS1175 and LPS2081 can also be certified with ballistic resistance.
Requirements and testing procedures for the LPCB certification and listing of intruder resistant building components, strongpoints, security enclosures and free-standing barriers
Documentation states:
This standard is concerned with physical security, including products manufactured for perimeter, façade, internal spaces and entrapment protection. The higher the security rating, the more formidable the security product.
One of the more substantial revisions to the standard to date, LPS 1175: Issue 8.2 has been devised to improve the testing guidelines for security products, enabling a far more realistic scope for security ratings. There are a possibility of 48 Security Ratings aimed at creating strategic delay via physical security.
LPCB describe it as:
“Developed following extensive consultation with stakeholders, this revision sees the previous single digit performance classifications (i.e. security ratings 1 to 8) extended to one formed of two elements that illustrate performance in terms of:
Threat level (first element) – Letter (A to H) corresponding with the tool kit used to evaluate the product’s intruder resistance and number of attackers involved.
Delay (second element) – Numeric value (1, 3, 5, 10, 15 or 20) corresponding with the minimum delay (in minutes) provided by the product when placed in a locked condition.”
This revision provides property developers, architects and other security professionals the opportunity to layer their security beyond the capability of previous revisions.
LPS 1175 Issue 8.2 is the latest revision acceptable to SBD however, some of the older issues are still relevant for historical reasons. For further information please contact SBD or your local DOCO.
Requirements and testing procedures for the LPCB certification and listing of products that protect against violet forced entry attacks by individuals targeting people and valuable assets
The standard defines the evaluation, testing and certification of a products resistance to forced entry during violent attacks by a single intruder, specifically using blunt or bladed weapons and wishing to:
Do harm to one or more occupants of their dwelling, commercial premises or a protected area (stronghold)
Access valuable items, such as jewellery and art, during a 'smash-and-grab' type burglary or robbery
The standard also provides a mechanism for benchmarking a products capacity to prevent forced entry by those intent on doing harm to others during a marauding attack utilising bladed and/or blunt weapons.
This standard defines a multi-digit performance classification system:
The letters ‘AR’ followed by a full stop (‘.’). This indicates the performance classification attributed to the product is an ‘Attack Rating’. This differentiates the performance classifications attributed in accordance with this standard from those attributed in accordance with other Loss Prevention Standards, such as LPS 1175 and LPS 2081
Threat level (second element) - Letter (A to D) corresponding with the tool kit (a to d) used to evaluate the product’s resistance to forced entry.
Delay (third element) - Numeric value (30, 60, 120, 180, 240 or 300) corresponding with the minimum delay (in seconds) achieved by the product when configured to resist forced entry.
Use of a fire extinguisher (optional fourth element) – Letter ‘E’ signifies the use of a fire extinguisher as an additional tool. Products attributed an ‘E’ attack rating may be better suited to environments where the attacker would have access to an extinguisher, such as products intended to prevent access to individual retail units within a shopping centre or doors providing compartmentation within an office, school, or other large building.
Requirements and testing procedures for the LPCB approval and listing of building components, strongpoints, security enclosures and free-standing barriers offering resistance to intruders attempting to use stealth to gain entry.
LPS 2081 specifies two grades of security according to the tools and time taken by an intruder in situations where they want to avoid making excessive noise, replicating a stealth attack common in a residential environment. When LPS 2081 is used as a route to gain SBD approval, SRB is the minimum requirement for a doorset.
Dual Certification is a doorset that has undergone full scale recognised industry standard tests for fire resistance and for security based on the same design specification and has independent third-party certification for both Fire and Security on a single scope of certification.
The Security scope denotes this and it is reflected in the Security certificate stating the doorset name/type. It should be noted that other performance requirements will be needed, dependant on the requirement performance of the doorset.
