The type specifications - consult the Dutch site for further information

Limiting the physical accessibility for undesirable persons works preventively against all kinds of crime and fear feelings.

To be labelled as an building, with a certain burgling delay, each accessible cabinet work element must (windows, doors, …) have a homogeneous burgling delay capacity, placement included.
It is obvious that all cabinet work elements in a building which are accessible from outside are protected in an equivalent manner. To satisfy this, elements which have the same burgling delay, are chosen.

 

These type specifications are targeted on the amateur burglar to make it him as difficult as possible. The tools used in the European standard corresponding to resistance classe 3 are too multi-purpose to belong within the toolset of the amateur burglar. For this reason the emphasis is laid on the first two resistance classes.

The Risk analysis - consult the Dutch site for further information

The aim of this risk analysis is to help the occupants and designers with the appraisal of the measures which they can be taken best to protect their property against burgling.

The risk analysis allows by means of a simple and clear checklist, which can be used both at newly built houses and at adaptations of existing cabinet work, to determine which risk class the building has. Then by taking into account the existing risk on burgling, the proper measures can be determined to guarantee a sufficient resistance against burgling by means of cabinet work. For the development of the checklist several police forces, architects and cabinetmakers were consulted and their experiences were properly taken into account.
