Cut-test pass
3rd January 2017

APEER has gained certification for PAS24 with cut test, in accordance with Approved Document Q requirements.

Its Apeer, Modo, Double Diamond and Lumi Composite ranges underwent the testing process but, Marketing Manager Linda Tomb explained: “All of those doors were already well within the specification to pass the revised test. No one doubted they would sail through but certification is now a standard requisite in sectors such as new-build – and increasingly asked about on everything down to one-off domestic retrofits – so of course we need to be able to show the piece of paper.”

Apeer products, like many other door ranges, have held PAS24 since it was introduced in 2007, as well as its subsequent updates. The latest of these requires a door to withstand a specific attack using chisels and a Stanley-type knife for a minimum of three minutes.

Linda continued: “We have always taken security seriously. In recent years, we see the demand for higher specification coming from both legislation and from customers and homeowners themselves, so any fabricator or installer offering our doors is already at the forefront in giving them what they want.”
