BS EN 1630:2011+A1:2015

What is BS EN 1630 - Burglar resistance of pedestrian doorsets, windows, curtain walling, grilles and shutters about?  

BS EN 1630+A1 specifies a test method for the determination of resistance to manual burglary attempts in order to assess the burglar-resistant characteristics of pedestrian doorsets, windows, curtain walling, grilles and shutters. It is applicable to the following means of opening: Turning, tilting, folding, turn-tilting, top or bottom hung, sliding (horizontally and vertically) and rolling as well as fixed constructions.  

Note- 

BS EN 1630 does not directly cover the resistance of locks and cylinders to attack with picking tools. It also does not cover the attack of electric, electronic and electromagnetic operated burglar resistant construction products using attack methods that might defeat these characteristics. 

BS EN 1630 does not apply to doors, gates and barriers, intended for installation in areas in the reach of persons, and for which the main intended uses are giving safe access for goods and vehicles accompanied or driven by persons in industrial, commercial or residential premises, as covered by EN 13241-1. 

Who is BS EN 1630 - Burglar resistance of pedestrian doorsets, windows, curtain walling, grilles and shutters for?  

BS EN 1630 on pedestrian door sets, windows, curtain walling, grilles and shutters burglar resistance test is useful for: 

• Construction industries   
• Civil engineer   
• Installers of windows and doors   
• Door assemblies   
• Manufacturer and suppliers of windows and doors 

Why should you use BS EN 1630 - Burglar resistance of pedestrian doorsets, windows, curtain walling, grilles and shutters?  

There are two aspects to the burglar resistance performance of construction products, their normal resistance to forced operation and their ability to remain fixed to the building. BS EN 1630 describes the use of the tools detailed in the various tools sets for a particular resistance class. 

BS EN 1630 specifies a manual test to demonstrate that they are:  

• Mentally alert and well-motivated to maintain a sustained burglary attack 
• Physically able to perform the test, and are able to withstand the physical strain likely to be imposed for the duration of the test 
• Free from mobility impairments and have normal vision, corrected where necessary 
• Capable of reflecting current modus operandi during burglary attacks using reasonable but not excessive force reflecting the anticipated attack relevant to the resistance class 

You can use BS EN 1630 while installing pedestrian doorsets, windows, curtain walling, grilles and shutters. 

What’s changed since the last update?
