Panel discussion: Why do we in the security industry continue to perform mechanical security according to outdated standards?
Background for the debate
For many years, the mechanical security industry has followed the Insurance and Pension Fund (IPF) security classification ranging from YELLOW to RED class, with RED class being the highest. In July 2016, F&P decided to remove their classification in favor of the much more demanding EU standard, EN1627-30, which ranges from RC1 to RC6, as the highest.
Despite the introduction of the new and more demanding EN standards in July 2016, there is still confusion in the industry, with solutions still being implemented according to the old F&P standards.
But why is this? Watch the debate in the video above.
