They are intended to enhance resistance to theft of either the contents of a vehicle or the vehicle itself, by deterring th
14、e potential thief from attacking or continuing an attack on a vehicle. It is accepted that any security system can be overcome given the appropriate skills, tools and time. However, considerable resistance to theft can be provided by the various devices and systems available on the market. The risk
15、of theft can be reduced by taking several precautions. Some precautions relate to the vicinity in which the vehicle is parked and the condition in which it is left. Others relate to the security devices on the vehicle. The use of good security systems/devices can force a thief to use tools that are
16、difficult to conceal and can make the time needed to enter the vehicle so long as to make an interruption likely. 1 Scope This British Standard is intended to provide information and guidance on the various types of security devices and systems that are available, the range of protection devices and
17、 systems that are available, the range of protection they offer, and where appropriate the British Standard to which they should conform. Security aspects of how and where the vehicle is left are also considered. 2 Informative references This British Standard refers to other publications that provid
18、e information or guidance. Editions of these publications current at the time of issue of this standard are listed on the inside back cover, but reference should be made to the latest editions. 3 Vehicle perimeter security NOTEThere are several stages, during the process of breaking into a vehicle,
19、at which a thief may be delayed or deterred by appropriate security systems. 3.1 Tampering with the vehicle Indication of fitted security devices will often be sufficient to deter a thief from attempting to break into a vehicle. However, the precise type of system should not be shown, because a thie
20、f may know how to defeat particular systems quickly. Some security systems are fitted with devices (motion sensors, impact sensors, proximity sensors etc.) that will detect interference with the vehicle and sound an alarm prior to the thief intruding into the vehicle. These systems may not be suffic
21、ient to deter the thief from attacking the vehicle, but may deter subsequent theft. 3.2 Door security (See BS AU 209-1a, BS AU 209-5b, BS AU 209-6a, BS AU 209-7 and BS AU 209-8 1) ) In all thefts from closed vehicles and in nearly all thefts of vehicles, it is necessary for the thief to first gain e
22、ntry. Entry is usually gained through a door, a window or the boot. Doors with locking systems conforming to BS AU 209-1a will provide a good basic level of security, without which more sophisticated central and deadlocking systems may not be as effective. Compliance with BS AU 209-1a will prevent t
23、he door locks from being easily forced or the internal linkages being simply activated to release the latch mechanisms. BS AU 209-1a also includes requirements to prevent the windows from being forced down easily. Central locking systems that conform to BS AU 209-5b also meet the requirements of Par
24、t 1a and ensure that all the doors lock when the driver/passenger door is locked, so significantly reducing the risk of any door being left inadvertently unlocked. Deadlocking systems that conform to BS AU 209-6a also meet the requirements of Parts 1a and 5b and ensure that locked doors cannot be op
25、ened even if the interior handles are accessed from the outside of the vehicle (e.g. by breaking a window). Only a key can be used to unlock this type of door. NOTELocking systems for the drivers and load compartment of goods vehicles which conform to BS AU 209-7 and BS AU 209-8, respectively, shoul
26、d provide a good level of security 3.3 Window security (BS AU 209-4) NOTE 1A thief can gain immediate access to the contents of a vehicle (at least as far as they can reach) by breaking a window. If the vehicle is not deadlocked the thief can then open the door using the interior controls. This will
27、 provide much easier access to the contents of the vehicle and will facilitate the theft of the vehicle itself. Security glazing that conforms to BS AU 209-4 should be fitted to increase the window security of a vehicle significantly by increasing the time and effort necessary to break through the g
28、lass. NOTE 2Glazing which conforms to BS AU 209-4 is most likely to be only available as original equipment on new vehicles. 1) In preparation.BSAU 209-0:1996 2 BSI 03-1999 4 Alarm on breach of perimeter security (see BS 6803) NOTEIn the event of the perimeter security of a vehicle being breached, e
29、.g. a window being broken or a door opened, a sounding alarm can be an effective deterrent. However, as the public have become very used to false alarms, a sounding alarm might only be effective if the owner is within earshot. To be effective, alarm systems should sound only following an attack on a
30、 vehicle and should not suffer from false alarms, such as car alarm systems conforming to BS 6803-2 2)and commercial vehicle alarm systems conforming to BS 6803-3. Installing such alarm systems in compliance with BS 6803-1 will ensure they are effective and reliable in use. 5 Security of in-car ente
31、rtainment systems (see BS AU 209-2) In-car entertainment systems represent a high proportion of the contents stolen from cars. Compliance with BS AU 209-2 requires the system to be easily removable (by the vehicle owner), or locked in place (by a lock conforming to BS AU 209-1a), or permanently inst
32、alled, or coded, or of a modular form where the system is split up. In addition the system should be permanently marked with a unique vehicle identification number (VIN) or registration number. 6 Immobilization (BS AU 209-10) Since 1972 all new cars and light vans are required to be fitted with a de
33、vice to prevent their unauthorized use. The most common device is a steering column lock which is integral with the ignition/starter control and is activated by the ignition key. It is normal for the design of these devices to be common for each model in a vehicle range and because of this most thie
34、ves readily know how to overcome them. It is therefore advisable for an additional vehicle immobilizer which conforms to BS AU 209-10 3)to be fitted, as a thief is less likely to be knowledgeable about its function and installation. Immobilizers fall into three categories as follows: mechanical; ele
35、ctromechanical; and electrical/electronic. Typically, mechanical systems need to be fitted to the vehicle every time it is left, although a fixing point may be permanently fitted. Electromechanical and electrical/electronic systems are, typically, permanently fitted to the vehicle and need only to b
36、e activated each time the vehicle is left. In some cases this activation may be automatic (passive arming). NOTEAn immobilizer that instantaneously immobilizes the engine should not be capable of being activated while the vehicle is moving, otherwise the safe operation of the vehicle could be severe
37、ly affected. 7 Aiding the recovery of stolen vehicles NOTEThe true identity of a stolen vehicle has to be disguised in order for the thief to maximize any financial gain from it. If a vehicle gives any indication of its true identity, it will increase the chance of detection while the thief uses it
38、or tries to pass it on. 7.1 Visible vehicle identification Since April 1980 all new cars are required to be marked with a unique Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). Traditionally the VIN was positioned where it was not visible from the outside of the vehicle and consequently the police were unable
39、to check it. Increasingly for new vehicles the VIN is being positioned where it is visible from the outside but cannot be tampered with. This is called “Visible VIN” and its use will aid the recovery of stolen vehicles especially if the thief cannot remove or obliterate it. The VIN is the only mark
40、that is unique to the vehicle, and recognized by the police as such. If the VIN is visible it will aid the identification and hence recovery of stolen vehicles which have been abandoned and/or had their identity superficially changed (e.g. respray, false plates). Vehicles which do not have a manufac
41、turer-applied “Visible VIN” should have some other unique number etched on the glazing, preferably the registration number or VIN. If this is done in accordance with BS AU 209-3 it will significantly increase the cost of changing the vehicles identity and will therefore act as a deterrent to a thief
42、. NOTEThe VIN should only be applied in a position visible from the outside of the vehicle with the approval of the vehicle manufacturer, otherwise it may make the acquisition of duplicate keys easier for the thief. 7.2 Hidden identification A vehicle and/or its component parts may be identified by
43、concealed marks or devices. These are not intended to be visible to the naked eye and may be read physically or electronically. The more components and parts of the vehicle that are identifiable using such means, the harder it will be for a thief to change the vehicles identity, or sell the componen
44、t parts. 2) Under revision. 3) In preparation.BSAU 209-0:1996 BSI 03-1999 3 7.3 Locating devices These devices can be concealed in a vehicle and enable it to be tracked and located. This kind of device should significantly decrease the recovery time and the number of vehicles that disappear, provide
45、d that the body responsible for the search has sufficient resources and a widespread infrastructure. Further, if the police are able to respond sufficiently fast to a reported vehicle theft, there is a significant chance of the thief being apprehended during the theft. 8 Assessing the security of a
46、vehicle Table 1 summarizes the types and degrees of benefits that might be expected to be gained by any particular item of security equipment. It is only intended as a guide. Relative benefits of security only apply to the risk indicated at the head of each column. Therefore, comparisons of benefits
47、 should only be made down the columns, and not across the rows. Products that claim conformity with a British Standard should be chosen in favour of ones that do not, as the British Standards have been drawn up to give the user some assurance with regard to the minimum level of security provided and
48、 the reliability and safety of the product. Ideally conformity to the relevant British Standard should be verified by a third party. By referring to Table 1, the combined benefit of a number of individual security devices on a vehicle can be assessed.BS AU 209-0:1996 4 BSI 03-1999 Table 1 Summary of
