DIN 18104-1 specifies the requirements for mechanical surface-mounted security equipment, DIN 18104-2 the requirements for additional burglar resistant products
Every 9 minutes there is a burglary in Germany. Windows, doors and other components are a popular target. The building sector is therefore showing great interest in mechanical security equipment. ift Rosenheim carries out tests on all types of burglar resistant products and takes over the selection of test specimens as well as the coordination of a test programme.
All advantages at a glance
The tests of mechanical security equipment consist of static loads and a manual test with tools on the window or door element or also in a special device.
During the static test, the component is pressed with a defined force in the opening direction.
The manual test is carried out by a test engineer with a specific set of tools within a given resistance time. There must not be a "accessible opening".
What we need for the test
- Required test specimens: Component, installed ready for operation in a surround frame. Two identical test specimens are required for the test.
- Required documents:
- Drawing of test specimen as pdf
- Description of test specimen (Template comes from ift Rosenheim)
- Drawings and installation instructions
