Recent Standard Amends:
PAS 24-1
In November 2006 PAS 24-1 was amended to include a security hardware and cylinder test that involves an attack on the door furniture followed by an attack on the cylinder. This has now been further amended to include an attack aimed at breaking the cylinder using an axial load. This latest amendment was published on 28th February 2007.
In order to give industry time to understand the impact on their products and (where necessary), ensure the appropriate modifications are made – BSI Product Services will operate a transitional period for those companies who need to make any modifications, as detailed below.
