» VEKA PLC INVITED 17 Designing Out Crime Officers ( DOCOs ) from across the UK to its 400,000 sq ft production facility in Burnley , Lancashire to delve into the intricacies of security standards and showcase how VEKA consistently achieves industry benchmarks .

In-depth presentations , interactive sessions and practical demonstrations highlighted VEKA ’ s commitment to security excellence . A detailed tour of the manufacturing facility also offered participants a firsthand look at VEKA ’ s innovative processes .

“ At VEKA , we are dedicated to providing industry-leading designs , and that standard includes the ultimate security capacity ,” said Paul Kennington , Technical Director .

“ This event was an excellent opportunity to showcase our approach to security and collaborate with police forces from across the UK to enhance their knowledge and understanding of the processes that earn the PAS24:2022 accreditation .”

The Designing Out Crime Day particularly focused on the processes and procedures involved in a systems house attaining certification .

As industry leaders in security standards , VEKA became the first systems house to have a full range of triple glazed products accredited to PAS24:2022 and the first Secured by Design member to achieve the feat .

The workshop took a deep dive into the security standards that VEKA products must adhere to earn the

accreditation , while outlining the testing processes that prove the product quality .

Hazel Goss MBE , Development Officer for Secured By Design , said : “ I find days like this are invaluable , because DOCOs learn the ins and outs of the products , see the products being tested and get an understanding of how the processes work .”

Andy Hunton , DOCO for Cumbria attended , saying : “ When we go out for

situational crime prevention , giving advice to householders , we insist that they need a tested product , and VEKA recognise security standards . Coming to see how these products have actually been manufactured is very important , because then we can say we ’ ve seen how it ’ s done , we know the reason behind the testing , and we know it ’ s worthwhile and resilient .”
