  1. Tool attack test

    1. Principle

The test serves to establish the complete access, and for safes and ATM safes also the partial access, minimum resistance values of the test specimen.

A testing team (see 7.2) examines a test specimen (see Clause 6) together with the technical documentation (see Clause 5) and devises a programme of attacking the test specimen. The testing team attacks the test specimen. The time taken to gain partial or complete access, assessed by inserting a test block, is recorded and then used to calculate a resistance value.

The tools and programme of attack used during testing shall be those most likely, in the opinion of the testing team, to result in the lowest resistance values. Exploratory tests may be made.

WARNING: Because some of the tests specified in this European Standard involve the use of processes imposing risk on the persons concerned, use only trained staff and ensure adequate supervision.

  1. Testing team

The testing team shall comprise:

  1. testing team leader who is responsible for the conduct of the test and whose function is to plan, direct and supervise the testing;

  2. time keeper whose function is confined to timekeeping and the compiling of the event record;

  3. testing operatives whose function is to carry out the necessary tool attacks on the test specimen as directed by the testing team leader.

NOTE Testing should be carried out according to the current state of knowledge. To ensure maximum consistency in test results, testing laboratories should have EN ISO/IEC 17025 accreditation and should participate in audits, cooperative tests, experience-sharing events and other relevant training.

  1. Apparatus

    1. Attack tools

Any tool used for the testing shall be given a coefficient and basic value according to Annex A.

Tool category В includes tools of category A.

Tool category C includes tools of categories A and B.

Tool category D includes tools of categories A, В and C.

Tool category S includes tools of categories А, В, C and D.

Alterations to tools other than those permitted as 'specially made tools' shall not be made. For instance, it is not permitted to enlarge nozzles, lengthen electrodes, rods or levers etc.

SAFETY WARNING: Tool safety devices such as guards, fuses and other current limiting features and/or maximum speed controls, shall not be removed or altered.

To protect the operator(s), in the case of combined use of a hand impact tool and a chisel, a specially constructed chisel holder may be used. Such a chisel holder shall be regarded as a hand-gripping tool (see Table A.2).

NOTE Testing laboratories should maintain a list of their current tools, together with their categories in accordance with Annex A.

  1. Clock

Clock to an accuracy of at least 0,05 min for each 10 min measuring period. The scaling shall be at least 0,01 min.

Clocks shall be visible to all observers, and the beginning and end of each operating time shall be indicated by an acoustic or optical signal.

  1. Test criteria

The requirements for a fulfilled tool attack test are:

  1. for partial access that one of the test blocks defined in 7.3.3.2 can pass completely through the aperture created.

  2. for complete access that one of the following conditions is met:

  1. one of the test blocks defined in 7.3.3.3 can pass through the aperture created;

  2. door is removed or the door is opened to a clear width of at least 300 mm over at least 80% of the inside height of the storage volume;

  1. for tool attack on the ATM safe fixing attachments that the fixing attachments are completely severed.

In case of a built-in safe, its removal from the encasement is also regarded as a complete access.

Any tool attack test shall be continued until no more information necessary for determining the resistance grade can be reasonably expected. This can occur when the resistance value discovered in previous test attacks is exceeded.

An abandoned tool attack test shall count as one of the tests required in 7.5.

  1. all apertures have an area of less then 125 cm2 or have at least one dimension less than 60 mm;

  2. wall thickness within 15 mm of the sides of an aperture is not less than 8 mm.
