BS 8621:2017

BS 8621:2017 specifies performance requirements and test methods for a thief?resistant mechanically operated single-point lock assembly (including locking plates, fixing screws, fitting instructions, cylinders and protective furniture where appropriate) that:

• a) incorporates a lock conforming to BS EN 12209:2016 that can be unlocked from the inside without a key thereby only allowing keyless egress; and
• b) is used in doors, window doors and entrance doors in buildings.

This standard does not cover thief-resistant lock assemblies that only allow egress using a removable key, or lock assemblies that provide a secure (no egress) mode in addition to keyless egress.
