  7. two specially made electric powered tools (see Table A.6).

  1. For hand hammering tools used with both hands, the number of blows is limited to 250 per tool attack test.

  2. In any one tool attack test, only two operatives and the testing team leader are allowed to work on the test

specimen. Only two persons are allowed to work on the test specimen at one time.

  1. The use of balancers is not allowed in a tool attack test.

  2. Dustcleaners and compressed air may be used for cleaning the test specimen.

  3. Testing shall only be done in areas or against features which have not been weakened by earlier tests.

  1. For a tool attack test on ATM safe fixing attachments and/or the ATM base fixing attachments and/or the ATM base itself, only tools of tool categories А, В, C and D may be used. Tools listed in Table A.6 shall not be used, neither shall the non-tools listed in Table A. 14 be used.

Fixing bolts of the ATM safe and/or the ATM base may be attacked through the ATM base or through holes pre­existing in the ATM safe if the holes are within 250 mm of the bolt being attacked.

  1. Procedure

Record the date of receipt of the test specimen (see Clause 6) and technical documentation (see Clause 5) together with the unique identification number.

Examine the test specimen (see Clause 6) and the technical documentation (see Clause 5) and ensure they correlate.

Prepare attack tools so that they are ready for immediate use. Set-up times for first assembly are included in the basic values and shall not be additionally added for the determination of the resistance value. For example, power drills shall be fitted with a drill bit, angle grinders fitted with a cutting disc, thermal tools fitted with the appropriate nozzles, drill stands attached to the sample, etc.

Close and lock the test specimen, if that will influence the test result.

For unclassified locks, the code or key shall be available.

At the start of a test, a free-standing safe or an ATM safe with or without an ATM base test specimen shall be positioned in its normal attitude on the floor, or simulated floor, and may be fixed to assist testing. Free standing safe or ATM safe test specimens need not be anchored for complete access testing or for partial access testing. During partial access testing, a free standing safe or ATM safe test specimen may be toppled so that any of the sides can be tested; the time taken for toppling shall be counted as operating time. ATM safe test specimens shall not be toppled for any door opening attack.

Carry out the tool attack test.

Record all events.

  1. Operating time measuring

  1. Measure and record the operating time for each tool used. For each operation, start the clock as the tool touches the test specimen, stop the clock when the tool ceases to touch the test specimen.

Any time taken to position the tool inside the test specimen shall be measured as operation time.

The operating time recorded shall be rounded to the next complete 1/60 min or 1/100 min.

  1. If hand hammering tools (see Table A.5) are used with both hands, the operating time shall be calculated from the number of blows in accordance with the following:

Tools of category A:

  1. 1/60 min per blow (when the tool impacts directly against the test specimen);

  2. 1/40 min per blow (when accessories (see Table A.12) transmit the impact force to the test specimen).

Tools of category B:

  1. 1/30 min per blow (when the tool impacts directly against the test specimen);

  2. 1/15 min per blow (when accessories (see Table A.12) transmit the impact force to the test specimen).

If an attack uses a two-handed impact method, where the time is calculated from the number of blows, and at the same time uses another mechanical attack method, e.g. using a crowbar, then the time taken shall be the longer of the two times, i.e. either the actual operating time, or the operating time calculated from the number of blows.

  1. Operating time includes any time taken to extract tools (or parts of tools) whose removal is necessary to continue the test. The operating time also includes any time for repositioning the test specimen during a tool attack test.

  2. Operating time includes any time(s) in which a tool is removed from contact with the test specimen for a short period but which time cannot be avoided for the most effective continuation of the test attack (For example, when an electric hammer is removed from contact so that the point or angle of attack can be changed).

  3. Operating time does not include:

  1. time taken to relocate the position of a tool stand, or remove it;

  2. time of a temporary interruption of a tool attack test, ordered by the testing team leader on the grounds of operative safety, due to the emission from the test specimen of excessive gas, smoke, soot, etc., or for cleaning or removing debris from the work area;

  3. any time the testing team leader authorizes for inspection/checks of the test specimen;

  4. use of non-tools (see Table A.14) and the dustcleaner or compressed air for cleaning.

  1. Calculation of resistance values

For each tool attack test, calculate the resistance values VR using the following formula:

VR=^txc}^BV (1)

where

'ў' і is the sum of all operating times in minutes;

c is the highest tool coefficient of the used attack tools (see Annex A);

^BV is the sum of the basic values for all attack tools used.

The calculated value shall be rounded-up to the next full number: it represents the resistance value in resistance units (RU) for that tool attack test.

  1. Test record

For each tool attack test, record at least the following information:

  1. test record reference number;

  2. testing laboratory name;

  3. date and place of the testing;

  4. composition of testing team, indicating who was the testing team leader, the time keeper and who were the testing operatives;

  5. names of testing observers, if any;

  6. type of product (see 5.2);

  7. identification of test specimen (see Clause 6);

  8. description of each tool attack test made (in chronological order), giving details of the point of attack, attack tools, measurements made and events, together with a record of all operating times and reference to any photographic or video records made;

  9. calculation of the resistance value (VR) in resistance units (RU).

  1. Anchoring strength test

    1. Free-standing safes

      1. Principle

The strength of the anchoring system for free-standing safes is assessed by applying a load according to Figure 3.

  1. Loading equipment

Tensile test equipment shall have a capacity of at least 100 kN. The load shall be applied in principle as shown in Figure 3. Measurements of an applied load shall be made to an accuracy within + 5% of the applied load.

Figure 3 — Example of loading equipment

8.1.3 Procedure

  1. Preparation

Attach the test specimen for free-standing safes to the loading equipment by an anchoring assembly through one of the anchoring holes, according to the installation instructions (see 5.8).

  1. Loading

The required force (see Table 1) shall be applied in a direction that attempts to pull the assembly through the safe's wall or base.

Apply the load smoothly up to the force required within 2 min to 3 min. Hold the load at this level for 1 min, and then release.

  1. Expression of test results

The applied force shall be given, together with a statement as to whether the force was sustained without the bolt failing or without the bolt head being pulled through the wall or base of the safe.

  1. Test criteria

The anchoring assembly shall not fail or be pulled through the wall or base when tested.

8.2 ATM safes

  1. Principle

The strength of anchoring of ATM safes is assessed by applying a horizontal force to the test specimen.

  1. Loading equipment

    1. Means for applying a horizontal force of at least 100 kN to the sample and which is able to measure the applied force with an accuracy within ± 5 %.

    2. Steel plate to which the ATM safe (or ATM safe with ATM base) shall be anchored and which is

capable of withstanding the full test force.

  1. Procedure

    1. Preparation

For the anchoring test of an ATM safe without an ATM base, the ATM safe shall be fixed to the steel plate using the fixing method the manufacturer recommends for anchoring.

For the anchoring test of an ATM safe with an ATM base, the ATM safe shall be attached to the ATM base by welding or screwing according to manufacturer's instructions; and the ATM base shall be attached to the steel plate by the means the manufacturer recommends for anchoring.

For wall mounted ATM safes, the safe shall be turned through 90° and attached to the horizontal steel plate so that the steel fixing plate simulates the vertical mounting wall.

New fixing bolts and associated items shall be used for each anchoring strength test.

Components may be added to the ATM safes to facilitate the application of the required test force; for instance by welding either a steel bar to the ATM safe against which a jack can be applied or an attachment on which to pull.

  1. Loading

The test shall be carried out with the ATM safe closed and locked.

Before any force is applied, an attempt shall be made to remove or weaken any external fixings. This shall be done using category A hand (dis)assembling tools (see Table A.1) for a maximum of 50 RU or 30 RU in the case of a grade L ATM safe.

Figure 4 — Application of the force

For ATM safes fitted with an ATM base, the load will be applied in a pushing direction and will continue to be applied from the initial point of contact while the ATM safe tilts, effectively changing the height of the force application relative to the base of the test equipment. Alternatively, pulling equipment may be used. Additional test equipment (such as welded-on or clamped brackets) shall be utilised for such pulling equipment however, to ensure that the application of the force is compressive onto the safe. If during the test the angle from horizontal of the applied force exceeds ±15°, the fixed mounted point of the load mechanism shall be repositioned to restore the horizontal force.

Apply the load smoothly up to the force required within 2 min to 3 min. Hold the load at this level for 1 min and then release.

The testing team leader will choose the direction of the forcing test.

A post-anchoring forcing test will be carried out after the applied forces have been reduced to zero. This will apply whether or not the ATM safe has been tested with an ATM base fixed in place. The purpose of this test will be either to completely sever the ATM safe from the anchoring test equipment, to completely sever the ATM safe from the ATM base, or to completely sever the ATM base from the anchoring test equipment. Use of the tools for a post­anchoring forcing test shall follow the test conditions of 7.6.5, 7.6.6, 7.6.7, 7.6.8, 7.6.9, 7.6.10, 7.6.11 and 7.6.13. Attacks to open the ATM safe door to gain access to the anchoring bolts are not allowed. Attacks to anchoring bolts within the safe via access holes in the safe are not allowed.

Further forcing and post-anchoring forcing testing will be allowed on similar untested or undamaged sample ATM bases in a different direction, if it is supposed that an alternative forcing direction may cause the ATM safe and ATM base to fail the test.

The testing team leader may choose to stop the pushing force test earlier than the completion of the required force criterion (irrespective of the 1 min duration force criterion) to initiate the post-anchoring forcing test if he considers that a lower RU for the post-anchoring forcing test may be achieved by that method.

  1. Expression of results

The test report shall record for each individual anchoring test: the direction through which the forces were applied, the operating times for each tool used during the post-anchoring resistance tests, and the calculation of the resistance value for the post-anchoring resistance test according to 7.9.

  1. Test criteria

The ATM safe and/or ATM base with ATM safe will be deemed to have passed the anchoring test if the required force and the post-anchoring forcing requirements according to Table 2 are achieved prior to completely severing the fixing attachments.

9 Explosive test

  1. Principle

The test is done for the purpose of determining the resistance against attacks with explosives. The test is only carried out, if the applicant applies for EX designation.

An explosive charge is detonated. A tool attack test is then made to measure the remaining resistance value.

  1. Test specimen

The test specimen shall be the same design as that used in the tool attack test (see Clause 7).

Test an undamaged empty test specimen. A test specimen which has previously been subjected to the tool attack test (see Clause 7) may be used if that test will not influence the result of the explosive test.

The internal capacity of ATM safes to be tested shall be in the range of 300 dm3 to 400 dm3. If no safe in a model series will reach such a volume, the nearest existing size shall be chosen.

  1. Explosives

The charge shall be of pentaerythritol tetranitrate (PETN) with the following properties:

  • density (1,500 ± 50) kg/m3;

  • specific energy (5,000 ± 500) J/g;

detonation velocity (7,000 ± 500) m/s.

  1. Determination of explosive charge mass

The mass of the explosive charge shall be in accordance with Table 4:

  1. Conditions for explosive attack test

    1. Safes and ATM safes

Position the explosive charge in a compact shape at the geometric centre of the storage volume of the safe. Close and lock the door and detonate the charge.

After detonation, the tool attack shall be continued until partial access (as defined in 7.4.a)) is achieved, or until the required post-detonation resistance value (for safes see Table 1; for ATM safes see Table 2) is reached. The continuation of the tool attack shall be recorded as a post-detonation tool attack.

This post-detonation tool attack is limited to the use of attack tool categories А, В, C and D. Any post-detonation tool attack shall be continued until no more information necessary for determining the post-detonation resistance value can be reasonably expected.

  1. Strongroom doors and strongrooms

Preparatory tool attacks may be undertaken and shall follow the tool attack test (see Clause 7) to create holes into which the explosive charge can be placed. This preparatory work is limited to 25% of the minimum resistance value in RU (for the complete access) of the resistance grade to which the test specimen previously has been classified (see Table 3), and limited to the use of attack tool categories А, В, C and D. The calculation of the resistance value for this preparatory work shall be done in accordance with 7.9.

The charge is placed, stemmed, and detonated.

After detonation, the tool attacks shall be continued until complete access (as defined in 7.4 b)) or the required post-detonation resistance value in accordance with Table 3 has been achieved. These remaining tool attacks are recorded as post-detonation tool attacks.

This post-detonation tool attack is limited to the use of attack tool categories А, В, C and D.

Any post-detonation tool attack shall be continued until no more information necessary for determining the post detonation resistance value can be reasonably expected.

  1. Calculation of resistance values for the post-detonation tool attack

Calculate the resistance value for the tool attack using the following formula:

R VpD (~У. tPDC) + 2L VpD (2)

where

RVpd is the post-detonation resistance value;

tPD is the sum of all operating times for the post-detonation tool attacks;

c is the highest tool coefficient of the attack tool used in the post-detonation tool attacks (see

Annex A);

BVPD is the sum of basic values for all attack tools used only in the post-detonation tool attacks.

This sum is limited to basic values for attack tools not used in the preparatory tool attacks.

The calculated value shall be rounded-up to the next full number: it represents the resistance value in RU for the post-detonation work.

  1. Test record

For the post-detonation tool attack test, record in chronological order at least the following details:

  • point of attack;

  • tools used;

  • record of all operating times;

  • measurements made and events;

  • reference to any photographic or video records made;

  • resistance value in RU.

10 GAS explosive test

  1. Principle

The gas attack test determines the resistance against attacks with gas. The test is only made if the applicant applies for 'GAS' designation. A gas charge is introduced into the ATM safe and detonated. A tool attack test is then made to measure the remaining resistance value.

  1. Test specimen

The test specimen shall be undamaged and of the same design (including apertures (see 4.2.2)) as used in the tool attack test (see Clause 7). The storage volume of the specimen shall be empty (i.e. no cash equipment installed). Unused apertures that are normally not blocked shall be open during the test. A test specimen previously subjected to a tool attack test may be used if that test will not influence the result of the gas attack test.

  1. Gas

The charge shall be gas (acetylene C2H2 + oxygen O2) with a stoichiometric and homogeneous mixture (1 C2H2 + 2.5 O2), with a gas component purity of > 99.0%.
