brotttålighetsindex

Brotttålighetsindex, often translated as "burglary resistance index" or "break-in resistance index," is a metric used to quantify the security level of physical structures, typically buildings or specific components like doors and windows. It aims to provide a standardized way to assess how well a given item or structure can withstand attempts at forced entry by burglars.

The index is usually determined through standardized testing procedures conducted by accredited laboratories or testing facilities. These tests simulate various methods of forced entry, including kicking, prying, drilling, and brute force attacks. The duration of resistance, the type of tools used, and the success or failure of the simulated intrusion are all factors considered in the evaluation.

Different indexing systems exist, with varying scales and methodologies. Some systems might assign a numerical score, while others might use a classification system (e.g., bronze, silver, gold). A higher index or classification generally indicates greater resistance to forced entry. This information is valuable for consumers, builders, and security professionals when selecting security hardware or designing secure premises. It helps in making informed decisions about the level of protection required for a specific location based on perceived risk.
