The Highest Physical Attack Tier

In EN 1303:2015, Digit 8 (Attack Resistance) evaluates physical burglary resistance across 5 tiers (0, A, B, C, D).

Grade D Testing Criteria

  • Drilling Resistance: Withstands 10 minutes of continuous high-speed cobalt drill attacks.
  • Chisel & Hammer Impact: Withstands 30–40 blows from hardened steel chisels and 30 N·m twisting torque.
  • Axial Tensile Pulling: Resists 15 kN (1,500 kg force) direct plug pulling without core extraction.

Frequently Asked Engineering & Selection Questions

Q1: What tools are used in EN 1303 Grade D attack testing?
