When it comes to ensuring the security of your home or business premises, choosing doors that meet the rigorous standards of PAS 24 is crucial. PAS 24, which stands for Publicly Available Specification 24, is a British standard that sets out the minimum requirements for enhanced security performance of external doorsets and windows. At Internal Doors, we understand the importance of PAS 24 testing and certification, and we are committed to providing our customers with doors that meet these high standards.
What is PAS 24 Testing?
PAS 24 testing is a comprehensive process that assesses the security performance of doors and windows. The testing procedure involves subjecting the doorset or window to a series of physical tests that simulate attempted forced entry. These tests include:
- Manual attack tests using a range of tools
- Mechanical loading tests to assess the strength and durability of the door or window
- Impact tests to evaluate the resistance to blunt force attacks
To pass the PAS 24 testing, the doorset or window must withstand these tests without allowing access to the inside of the property.
The Certification Process
Once a doorset or window has successfully passed the PAS 24 testing, it can be certified as meeting the standard. The certification process involves:
1. Independent Testing
The doorset or window is tested by an independent, accredited testing laboratory to ensure impartiality and accuracy.
2. Certification
Upon passing the tests, the doorset or window is certified as meeting the PAS 24 standard by a recognized certification body.
3. Ongoing Surveillance
To maintain the certification, the manufacturer must undergo regular audits and inspections to ensure that the production process and materials used continue to meet the PAS 24 requirements.
