PAS 24:2007+A2:2011 Enhanced security performance requirements for door assemblies. Single and double leaf, hinged external door assemblies to dwellings
The concept of “enhanced security” in this Product Assessment Specification (PAS) is based upon a relationship between resistance to forced entry by human intervention techniques and resistance to entry under multi-directional loading and hard and soft body impacts.
The PAS specifies test methods and acceptance criteria relevant to the enhanced security performance of single and double leaf, single swing, hinged, external door assemblies to dwellings, inward and outward opening, with or without integral or coupled side panels and fanlights. It includes double leaf door assemblies where the size, construction or configuration of the active and inactive leaves are identical or differ. The enhanced security performance requirements in this specification are not material-specific.
This PAS is applicable to new door assemblies as manufactured and prior to installation. It is only applicable to complete door assemblies or a range of door assemblies.
The ability to gain entry by manipulation of a cylinder is address in this PAS. However, entry by picking, by deliberate breaking of glass or by attach on the frame fixing methods is not.
This PAS is not a test of components performance or installation requirements.
This PAS excludes double swing doors, sliding doors, sliding folding doors, pivoted doors and doors with two halves (stable door). It does not cover door assemblies where any frame member is longer than 3 m.
