Com pl anc with a British Standard does not ofitself confer im m unity

f om leg al o l g ations

Sum mary of pag es

Vehicle security dev ices prov ide v ary ing deg re s of

protection They are intended to en ance resistance

to theft of either the contents of a v ehicle or the

v ehicle itself, b d eter ing the potential thief f om

at acking or contin ing an at ack on a v ehicle

It is ac epted that any security sy stem can be

ov er ome g iv en the a propriate ski ls, to ls and

time Howev er, considera le resistance to theft can

be prov ided b the v arious d ev ices and sy stems

av aia le on the market

The risk of theft can be reduced b taking sev eral

precautions Some precautions relate to the v icinity

in which the v ehicle is p rked and the condition in

which it is left Other relate to the security dev ices

on the v ehicle

The use of g ood security sy stems/ d ev ices can for e a

thief to use to ls that are d ificult to conceal and can

make the time ne d ed to enter the vehicle so long as

to make an inter uption lkely

1 Scope

This British Stand rd is intend ed to prov id e

information and g uid ance on the v arious ty pes of

security dev ices an sy stems that are av aia le,the

rang e of protection d ev ices and sy stems that are

av aia le, the rang e of protection they ofer, an

where a propriate the British Stand rd to which

they should conform Security aspects of how and

where the v ehicle is left are also considered

2 Informa tive ref r nces

This British Stand rd refer to other publcations

that prov id e information or g uid nce Editions of

these publcations cur ent at the time of is ue of this

stand rd are l sted on the insid e b ck cov er, but

reference should be ma e to the latest ed itions

3 Vehicle perimeter security

NOT There are se eral stag es, d ring the proces of bre king

into a v hicle, at which a thief ma b dela ed or deter ed b

a pro riate securiy systems

3.1 Tam pering with the vehicle

Ind ication of fit ed security dev ices wi often be

suficient to d eter a thief f om at empting to break

into a v ehicle Howev er, the precise ty pe of sy stem

should not be shown, because a thief ma k ow how

to defeat p rticular sy stems q uickly

Some security sy stems are fit ed with dev ices

( motion sensor , imp ct sensor , proximity sensor

etc.) that wi l detect inter erence with the v ehicle

and sou d an alarm prior to the thief intruding into

the v ehicle These sy stems ma not be suficient to

d eter the thief f om at acking the v ehicle, but ma

d eter subseq uent theft

3.2 Do r se urity

( Se BS AU 20 -1a, BS AU 20 -5 , BS AU 20 -6 ,

BS AU 20 -7 an BS AU 20 -8

1)

)

In al thefts f om closed v ehicles and in nearly al

thefts of v ehicles, it is neces ary for the thief to fir t

g ain entry Entry is usual y g ained throug h a do r,

a window or the bo t Do r with locking sy stems

conforming to BS AU 20 -1a wi prov id e a g ood

b sic lev el of security , without which more

sophisticated central and dead locking sy stems ma

not be as efectiv e Complance with BS AU 20 -1a

wi prev ent the do r locks fom being easiy for ed

or the internal ln ag es being simply activ ated to

release the latch mechanisms BS AU 20 -1a also

includ es req uirements to prev ent the wind ows f om

being for ed d own easi y

Central locking sy stems that conform to

BS AU 20 -5 also me t the req uirements of Part 1a

an ensure that al the do r lock when the

d riv er/ pas eng er do r is locked , so sig nificantly

reducing the risk of any do r being left

ina v ertently u locked

Dead locking sy stems that conform to BS AU 20 -6

also me t the req uirements of Parts 1a an 5 and

ensure that locked do r can ot be opened ev en if

the interior handles are ac es ed f om the outsid e of

the v ehicle ( e.g b breaking a window) Only a key

can be used to unlock this ty pe of do r

NOT Locking sy stems for the driv r’s an lo d comp rtment

of g oods v hicles which conform to BS AU 2 9-7 an

BS AU 2 9-8, resp ctv ly,should pro ide a g ood le el of securiy

3.3 Window se urity ( BS AU 20 -4)

NOT 1 A thief can g ain immediate aces to the contents of a

v ehicle ( at le st as far as the can re ch) b bre king a win ow

If the v hicle is not de dlocked the thief can then o en the do r

using the interior controls This wil prov ide much e sier ac es

to the contents of the v hicle an wil faciliate the theft of the

v ehicle iself

Security g lazing that conforms to BS AU 20 -4

should be fit ed to inc ease the window security of a

v ehicle sig nificantly b inc easing the time an

efort neces ary to break throug h the g las

NOT 2 Glazing which conforms to BS AU 2 9-4 is most likely

to b only a aila le as orig inal e uipment on new v hicles

1)

In pre araton

4 Alarm on br a ch ofperimeter

security (se BS 6803)

NOT In the e ent of the p rimeter securiy of a v hicle b ing

bre ched, e.g a win ow b ing broken or a do r o ened,a

sou ding larm can b an efectv deter ent Howe er,as the

public ha e b come v ry used to false alarms, a sou ding alarm

mig ht only b efectv if the owner is wihin e rhot

To be efectiv e, alarm sy stems should sou d only

folowing an at ack on a v ehicle and should not

sufer f om false alarms, such as car alarm sy stems

conforming to BS 6 0 -2

2)

an commer ial v ehicle

alarm sy stems conforming to BS 6 0 -3 Instal ng

such alarm sy stems in complance with BS 6 0 -1

wi l ensure they are efectiv e an rel a le in use

5 Security ofin- ca r entertainment

systems ( se BS AU 209-2)

In-car entertainment sy stems represent a hig h

proportion of the contents stolen f om car

Complance with BS AU 20 -2 req uires the sy stem

to be easiy remov able ( by the v ehicle owner), or

locked in place ( by a lock conforming to

BS AU 20 -1a), or permanently instal ed, or cod ed ,

or of a modular form where the sy stem is splt up In

a d ition the sy stem should be permanently marked

with a unique v ehicle identification n mber ( VIN)

or reg istration n mber

6 Im mobi ization ( BS AU 209-10)

Since 19 2 al new car and l g ht v ans are req uired

to be fit ed with a dev ice to prev ent their

unauthoriz d use The most common d ev ice is a

ste ring column lock which is integ ral with the

ig nition/ starter control and is activ ated b the

ig nition key It is normal for the desig n of these

dev ices to be common for each mod el in a v ehicle

rang e and because of this most thiev es rea i y k ow

how to ov er ome them It is therefore a v isa le for

an ad ditional v ehicle immobi z r which conforms to

BS AU 20 -10

3)

to be fit ed, as a thief is les l kely

to be k owledg ea le a out its fu ction and

instal ation Immobi iz r fal into thre categ ories

as fol ows:

— mechanical;

— electromechanical; and

— electrical/electronic

Ty picaly , mechanical sy stems ne d to be fit ed to

the v ehicle ev ery time it is left, althoug h a fixing

point ma be per manently fit ed Electromechanical

and electrical/ electronic sy stems are, ty picaly ,

permanently fit ed to the v ehicle and ne d only to be

N T An immo ilizer that instantane usly immo ilizes the

eng ine should not b ca a le of b ing ctv ated while the v hicle

is mo ing , otherwise the safe o eraton of the v hicle could b

se erely afected

7 Aiding the r covery ofstolen

vehicles

N T The true ident y ofa stolen v hicle has to b disg uised

in order for the thief to ma imize any financial g ain fom i If a

v ehicle g iv s any in icaton of is true ident y, i wil inc e se

the chance of detecton while the thief uses i or tries to p s i on

7.1 Visible vehicle identification

Since Apri 19 0 al new car are req uired to be

marked with a u iq ue Vehicle Identification

Number ( VIN) Tra itional y the VIN was

positioned where it was not v isible f om the outside

of the v ehicle and conseq uently the pol ce were

u a le to check it Inc easing ly for new v ehicles the

VIN is being positioned where it is v isible f om the

outside but can ot be tampered with This is cal ed

“ Visible VIN” an its use wi aid the recov ery of

stolen v ehicles especialy if the thief can ot remov e

or oblterate it The VIN is the only mark that is

u ique to the v ehicle, and recog niz d b the polce

as such I the VIN is v isible it wi aid the

identification an hence recov ery of stolen v ehicles

which hav e be n a andoned and/or had their

id entity super icialy chang ed ( e.g respray , false

plates)

Vehicles which do not hav e a man facturer-a pl ed

“ Visible VIN” should hav e some other u ique

n mber etched on the g lazing , prefera ly the

reg istration n mber or VIN I this is d one in

ac ord nce with BS AU 20 -3 it wi sig nificantly

inc ease the cost ofchang ing the v ehicle’s id entity

and wi therefore act as a d eter ent to a thief

N T The VIN should only b a plied in a p si on visible fom

the outside of the v hicle wih the a pro al of the v hicle

man facturer,otherwise i ma make the acquisi on of d plicate

key s e sier for the thief

7.2 Hidden identification

A v ehicle and/or its component p rts ma be

identified b concealed marks or dev ices These are

not intend ed to be v isible to the naked ey e and ma

be rea phy sical y or electronicaly The more

components and p rts of the v ehicle that are

identifia le using such means, the harder it wi l be

for a thief to chang e the v ehicle’s identity , or sel the

component p rts

7.3 Locating devic s

These dev ices can be concealed in a v ehicle and

ena le it to be tracked and located This kind of

dev ice should sig nificantly dec ease the recov ery

time and the number of v ehicles that disa pear,

prov ided that the bod responsible for the sear h

has suficient resour es and a wid espread

inf astructure Further, if the polce are a le to

respon suficiently fast to a reported v ehicle theft,

there is a sig nificant chance of the thief being

a prehended during the theft

8 As es ing the security ofa vehicle

Ta le 1 summariz s the ty pes and d eg re s of

benefits that mig ht be ex ected to be g ained b any

p rticular item of security equipment It is only

intended as a g uid e Relativ e benefits of security

only a ply to the risk ind icated at the hea of each

column Therefore, comp risons of benefits should

only be mad e down the columns, and not ac os the

rows

Products that claim conformity with a British

Stand rd should be chosen in fav our of ones that d o

not, as the British Stand rds hav e be n drawn up to

g iv e the user some as urance with reg ard to the

minimum lev el of security prov ided and the

rel a i ity and safety of the prod uct Idealy

conformity to the relev ant British Stand ard should

be v erified b a third p rty

By refer ing to Ta le 1, the combined benefit of a

n mber of ind iv idual security d ev ices on a v ehicle

can be as es ed
