CEN/TC 263/WG 3 - Safe locks

This document specifies requirements for high security locks (HSL) for reliability, resistance to burglary and manipulation with methods of testing. It also provides a scheme for classifying HSL in accordance with their assessed resistance to burglary and unauthorized opening.
It is applicable to mechanical and electronic HSL. For electronic locks used in a distributed system, see EN 17646 for further information.
The following features can be included as optional subjects but they are not mandatory:
a)   recognized code for preventing code altering and/or enabling/disabling parallel codes;
b)   recognized code for disabling time set up;
c)   integration of alarm components or functions;
d)   resistance to attacks with acids;
e)   resistance to X-rays;
f)   resistance to explosives;
g)   time functions.

This document is applicable to Distributed Systems (DS), i.e. high security locks with components which have a wired or wireless connection via a transmission system in order to execute fixed operating conditions using different individually fixed access possibilities.
Products which are to be tested on the basis of this document comply with the generally recognized state of the art at the time of testing. Due to the short innovation cycles in the field of electronic and, in particular, information technology applications, the technical possibilities available at the time of product development should also be taken into account during implementation.
Distributed systems can be used, for example, to operate high security locks of secure storage units (safes and strongrooms).
High security locks (HSL) are used in DS as locking unit.
This document does not apply for stand-alone HSL, which are not part of a distributed system. For these stand-alone HSL EN 1300 is applicable only.
The document will be revised with a frequency of 3 years as the research in the area of cryptography and relevant attacks evolve with high speed as well as the referenced standards.
