Security hazards

More than ever, security is an essential issue for sensitive sites. Faced with threats of all kinds, the protection of goods and people now requires a response adapted to the most specific risks. Helping to make your site impenetrable is what Baumert's engineering teams contribute to.

The risk of intrusion and break-in

Building, business, and home security is a key priority, and one of the most effective solutions to protect against intrusions is the installation of burglar-proof doors. These doors are designed to withstand forced, impact, and break-in attempts. However, not all burglar-proof doors are created equal. There are various standards that allow these doors to be classified according to their ability to withstand different types of attacks.

The classification according to the standard EN 1627

The EN 1627 standard is the European reference standard for burglar-proof doors and windows. It classifies doors according to their level of resistance to break-in, according to the duration and the means burglars use to force the door.

The different classes of resistance to break-ins:

CR1 class - Minimum resistance
Class CR1 doors can withstand a break-in attempt with simple tools, such as screwdrivers or tweezers, for about 3 minutes.
CR2 class - Light strength
These doors can withstand more powerful hand tools (hammer, crowbar) for 3 to 5 minutes.
CR3 class - Moderate resistance
These doors are capable of withstanding the attack with more aggressive tools, such as an ax or crowbar, for about 5 to 10 minutes.
Class CR4 - Reinforced resistance
These doors can withstand break-in attempts with powerful tools such as electric screwdrivers or saws for 10 to 15 minutes.
CR5 class - High strength
CR5 burglar-proof doors resist attacks with increasingly sophisticated tools for about 15 to 20 minutes.
Class CR6 - Very high resistance
These doors are particularly sturdy and can withstand attacks with more professional equipment, such as electric drills and power saws.

Bulletproof compartmentalization in the face of the risk of armed attack

Faced with the resurgence of risks related to terrorism, armed conflicts or even the polarization of society, it has become essential to protect institutional buildings and strategic sites against ballistic threats.

The installation of certified bulletproof doors and partitions is an essential response to this threat, whether to protect various audiences or to secure sensitive sites against targeted attacks.

Ballistic resistance classes

The ballistic resistance of building elements, and more particularly of door units, is defined by the EN 1522-1523 standard. This standard covers both the test conditions and the level of resistance to a bullet attack.

The risk of explosion

Explosions are a major risk in many industrial sectors, especially in nuclear, chemical, petrochemical and gas installations. An explosion can have catastrophic consequences, including human losses, material destruction and considerable environmental impacts. Securing sensitive sites is becoming a growing problem nowadays. It is imperative that in the event of a terrorist attack, means of delay in order to access targets, such as security doors, anti-blast doors or anti-explosion doors, be implemented.

Anti-explosion standards

Several European standards governing the resistance of doors, windows and building closures to explosive attacks:

  • the EN 13123-2 standard describes the recommendations and the intended classification (resistance levels).
  • the standard EN 13124-2 presents the test methods used to test the resistance of structures to explosives.

These standards govern the resistance of joinery to the overpressure of the breath emitted by a blast tube (also called shock tube). This tube is used to simulate a powerful explosive detonation which is equivalent to a load of 100 kg to 2500 kg of TNT, at distances ranging from 35 to 50 m from the tested element.
