BS 1722-17:2006

BS 1722-17 gives requirements for the design, installation and maintenance of electric security fences.

The specification is applicable to situations where the electric fence is designed to provide both a deterrent effect as well as a physical security barrier.  It therefore sets out the minimum criteria for the physical characteristics for the wire to be used in the barrier. 

BS 1722-17 does the following: 

• addresses the specification and quality for manufactured products;
• provides guidance for the client in their selection of installation companies which, by their compliance with this standard, have the ability to design, install and maintain an electric security fence system;
• addresses competences and training requirements of electric fence installers.

BS 1722-17:2006 supersedes PAS 47:2003 ‘Electric security fences. Design, installation and maintenance. Specification’ which will be withdrawn
