Chiltern Dynamics and sister company BM TRADA Certification have revised their popular Technical Information Sheet T1-086 Secured By Design Doors and Windows.

Certification under the Secured by Design (SBD) scheme, developed by the Association of Chief of Police Officers Crime Prevention Initiatives (ACPO CPI Ltd), is highly prized by manufacturers wishing to sell their products into SBD housing schemes, commercial developments or sheltered accommodation.

It is an ACPO CPI requirement that all entrance doors and accessible windows are covered by an independent, third-party certification scheme for enhanced security, such as the BM TRADA Q-Mark.

The high level of confidence offered by certification is essential when considering security and personal safety. It goes beyond testing to ensure that:

• The product continues to meet the performance requirements
• Products are always produced to a consistent standard.

The new Technical Information Sheet outlines SBD requirements and provides a useful check list for manufacturers targeting SBD certification. It is available free of charge - contact Emma Peters on 01494 569685 or email
