Sets out the requirements for the performance of hinged and sliding security screen doors and security window grilles used primarily in residential situations.
Scope
This Standard specifies requirements for the performance of all types of hinged and sliding security screen doors and hinged, sliding, removable and fixed security window grilles used primarily in residential situations. This Standard is concerned mainly with resistance to forced entry and does not address the important issues relating to egress in the case of emergency. The Standard covers movable and removable security window grilles that can be used in such instances.
NOTES:
1 Alternative methods for determining compliance with this Standard are given in Appendix A.
2 The effectiveness of security screen doors or window grilles is dependent on the strength of the screen and grille and the adequacy of its installation in its surrounds. For information on installation, see the Foreword and AS 5040.
3 Double-leaf doors may be constructed and tested in accordance with this Standard, and reported accordingly in consultation with the testing authority.
