The burglar resistance classes – the benchmark for break-in security
The DIN V ENV 1627 provides various burglar resistance classes, which establish precisely what a successfully tested front door within a certain classification must resist and for how long (see subsequent table). TOPIC was one of the first front door manufacturers to have its entire door, side part and fanlight systems accredited by a state authorised testing institute in accordance with the DIN ENV 1627 burglar resistance classes.
All the front doors in the following classes can be supplied with test certification:
Programm A, A200, A400, C, HA:
Burglar resistance Classes 1, 2 and 3
Programm B, Success, Shadow, Vision:
Burglar resistance Class 2 and a standard feature and Class 3
Except for 2-wing and outward opening front doors, as well doors with opening fanlights.
