TOUGH PAS24 UPDATE PUBLISHED IN SEPTEMBER
» THE DISCOVERY LAST YEAR OF TWO new door lock attack methods that could defeat most door locks shocked the industry , prompting the BSi to publish a tough new PAS24 update .
Adding the tools to test for the new attacks to the PAS24 update mirrors the change made by Sold Secure to the Diamond ( SS312 ) standard earlier this year . While achieving the standard is significantly tougher , it keeps our standards one step ahead of the burglars .
Nick Dutton , CEO Brisant-Secure , explains : “ The battle with burglars never stops . When lock makers became aware of these two aggressive attack methods last year , the bad news was that most locks would be defenceless against burglars using them . So , the BSi consulted extensively and has acted decisively . But adding these new tools makes the updated PAS24 the toughest test yet .
“ Like the BSi , Brisant-Secure is always looking to be one step ahead of new attack methods , which is why we ’ re the first to have a lock successfully tested and accredited with the new tools . The process to having sellable locks is long , and not one we ’ d want to start when the changes were first announced . Once you ’ ve thought of the innovations behind the concept , there ’ s the lock redesign , and IP ( Intellectual Property ) checking . Then there ’ s the tooling production and testing to prove the new locks work before you can progress to production and shipping . Normally that would take two to three years . But because our patented ALPS technology was accredited in March , our customers can expect to see Ultion with ALPS technology rolled out very soon . Another Ultion first !”
PAS 24:2022 + A1:2024 became the ‘ current ’ standard on 30 September .
When only the will do .
