Tested,
Not Staged.
Don't be fooled by deceptive advertising. Using props in a controlled environment is no more than a stunt and is not a true reflection of what happens in the real world.
Applying pressure slowly to a screen or bouncing an object in the middle of the mesh isn't the force a security screen is going to endure during a forced entry. There needs to be multiple “blows”, each exerting at least 100 joules of force at specific points on the screen to truly simulate a forced entry.
Our products are regularly tested by AZUMA Design and Testing, one of the only NATA-approved test laboratories in the country.
Better Than Just
Crime Safe.
The Impact Test
The Impact Test is designed to simulate a physical attack on a security screen. To perform this test, a large pendulum weight is used to generate 100 J of impact energy at a specified point. To pass this Australian Standard test, the door or window security screen must withstand a series of five impacts.
The Jemmy Test
The Jemmy Test involves wedging a lever between the security door lock and hinge and the door frame to which the security screen is mounted. A mechanical winch is used in an attempt to pry the door open. To pass the Jemmy Test, the security door must remain securely closed. SecureView Eclipx and Xceed security screen doors and windows passed this Australian Standard test with ease.
The Pull Test
When testing Type 3 products, such as SecureView Eclipx, a Pull Test can only be carried out if a sufficient gap is created following the Jemmy Test. If no gap is formed, there is nowhere to mount the Pull Test bracket or hold onto in a real-world scenario. Because SecureView Eclipx and Xceed products performed so well in each preceding test, the Pull Test could not be carried out, and SecureView Eclipx and Xceed security doors and windows automatically passed.
Fire Test
Australian Standard AS3959-2009Bushfire Protection — SecureView Eclipx stainless steel security doors have been tested to this standard and satisfy the requirements for Bushfire Attack Level (BAL) 12.5, 19, 29 and 40.
Australian Standard AS1530.4-2005, Appendix B7Fire Attenuation Test — SecureView Eclipx security screens have been tested in general accordance with this standard when exposed to incident radiant heat. SecureView Eclipx achieves a 46.6% reduction in radiant heat flux between the inside and outside of the product.
The Knife Shear Test
As its name suggests, the Knife Shear Test is designed to test the strength and resistance of the security mesh. The Knife Shear Test involves applying mechanical force with a heavy-duty knife to the security mesh being tested. This is carried out three times, using a new blade for each test. To pass the Knife Shear Test, the mesh must not allow the blade to make an incision greater than 150 mm. SecureView Eclipx and Xceed security doors and windows passed this test with ease.
Cyclonic & Security.
Cyclonic
Australian Standard AS/NZS 1170.2:2010, Category 3In cyclonic regions, windows and doors may need to be protected from flying debris simulating a Category 3 cyclone. SecureView Eclipx security screens have been tested and surpass this standard, resisting a 4 kg, 100 mm × 50 mm timber projectile travelling at 15 metres per second.
Security
Australian Standard AS5039-2008SecureView Eclipx and Xceed security screens continually surpass a range of rigorous knife shear tests, impact tests, jemmy tests and pull tests. These tests help demonstrate the strength, security and structural integrity of our manufactured security doors and windows.
