Break-ins and security threats are continuously a concern for both homeowners and businesses. Therefore, it’s important to ensure your product is safe, so that you and your clients have the reassurance that potential risks are reduced. That’s why our Test Team leaves no stone unturned when it comes to security testing.

At our testing laboratory we offer independent and comprehensive testing practises, giving you, the manufacturer, confidence that your products comply with the current legal and regulatory requirements. We use both mechanical and manual techniques, to replicate the forces and approaches of attacks used by burglars.

Data provided by the BBA Test Team, can also be used to achieve a BBA Agrément Certification, a mark of excellence, based on rigorous testing and certification against National and European standards, and the UK Police flagship safety first initiative, Secured by Design (SBD).
