What does PAS 24:2022 cover?
It specifies test methods and acceptance criteria for the enhanced security performance of doorsets and windows intended to resist the type of attack normally associated with casual or opportunistic burglars. It applies to new doorsets and windows as manufactured and prior to installation.
