DIN/TS 18194 specifies the requirements for burglar-resistant doors of classes RC1 to RC6. The tests are carried out according to the standards DIN EN 1628, DIN EN 1629 and DIN EN 1630.
Every 9 minutes there is a burglary in Germany. This is why there is a great deal of interest in burglar-resistant products in the building sector. Almost all products with security features are tested for burglary resistance in Germany by ift Rosenheim, which tests industrial, commercial and garage doors and gates in Classes RC1 to RC6.
Products in detail
The test can be carried out on the following products:
Sectional doors, rolling shutters, stacking doors, non-swinging overhead doors, spiral doors, lifting folding doors, overhead/swing-up door (swinging), sliding doors (single or multi-leaf), fold & slide doors, side-opening doors, hinged doors, folding doors (single or multi-leaf)
All advantages at a glance
Testing burglar-resistant doors under static load according to DIN/TS 18194 is the first of three test methods that the component must undergo. In this process, the test specimen is tested at various loading points using pressure pads.
The second test method for determining resistance under dynamic load according to DIN/TS 18194 is a pendulum test with a 50 kg dual tyre impactor. The pendulum test is performed at different drop heights according to the desired resistance class.
In the manual test according to DIN/TS 18194, the test engineer carries out a burglary attempt with a tool set specified according to the resistance class. The criterion is the so-called "accessible opening". At various points of attack, attempts are made to identify weak points. Should one be covered, a main test is carried out on a second undamaged test specimen. In order to pass the test, the resistance time specified in the respective class must be achieved.
