The Expanded Metal Company (Expamet) Alleygator pedestrian and vehicle gate has become the first combined gate of its kind to be certified to LPS1175: Issue 5.1: Requirements and Testing Procedures for the LPCB Approval and Listing of Burglary Resistant Building Components, Strongpoints and Security Enclosures.
The Watford-based BRE (Building Research Establishment Ltd) reports that this standard is for classifying the burglary resistance to physical attack of building components, such as doors, windows, shutters, grilles, barriers, strongpoints and security enclosures.
Approvals of vehicle security barriers such as bollards, barriers and road blockers can now be found in a new section of the BRE’s Red Book, Part 6, section 14: Vehicle Security Barriers.
