What is a LPS1175 Security Rating 4?

Building owners and developers face the important task of protecting their properties from potential security threats. When choosing security doors, navigating the various standards and ratings can be overwhelming, but it is essential for making informed decisions. 

One such standard is the Loss Prevention Standard (LPS) 1175, which evaluates the resistance of physical security products against burglary attempts. We take a closer look at LPS 1175 Security Rating 4 and what it means for your building’s security.

The Loss Prevention Certification Board (LPCB)

The LPCB is a renowned technical approval body that rigorously tests products to ensure they meet the requirements set out in Building Regulations, Construction Products Directive, and other European legislation. 

Accredited by the United Kingdom Accreditation Service (UKAS) against EN 45011 for product certification, EN 45012 for management systems certification, and EN 45013 for certification, the LPCB is a trusted authority in the field of security product testing and approval.

LPS 1175: Evaluating Burglary Resistance

LPS 1175 is a comprehensive standard that assesses the burglary resistance of various physical security products. The testing process is carried out under controlled laboratory conditions, using specific attack times and tools that correspond to the security rating being sought.

The correlation between risk and result is determined by the tools used and the time taken to breach the security product. This approach ensures that products meeting a particular security rating have demonstrated their ability to withstand the corresponding level of attack.

Understanding LPS 1175 Security Rating 4

LPS 1175 Security Rating 4 is a high-level classification that indicates a product’s resistance against experienced attempts at forced entry using a wide range of tools. Products certified to this rating have undergone rigorous testing using Tool Category D, which includes:

  • 12-volt cordless powered hand tools
  • Disc grinders
  • Circular saws
  • Power drills
  • Jig saws
  • Sledgehammers
  • Felling axes
  • Hole saws
  • Plate shears
  • Bolt cutters
  • Steel wedges

 

Security doors that achieve an LPS 1175 Security Rating 4 certification have demonstrated their ability to withstand prolonged and determined attacks using these powerful tools. This level of protection is particularly valuable for high-risk properties or areas within a building that require the utmost security.
