Transport, and with the support of the Home Office and organizations connected with law enforcement, the motor vehicle construction industry, and vehicle users Hitherto, no standard has existed for the United Kingdom that defines the performance and use of security glazing and its installation when used to prevent or deter unauthorized entry into or removal of the motor vehicle It is recognized that this standard covers a relatively new area, not previously standardized, and that it may be necessary to amend the requirements resulting from initial experience of its use Other Parts of BS AU 209 are as follows — Part 0: Code of practice for the application of security devices /systems to vehicles 1) ; — Part a: Specification for locking systems for passenger cars and car derived vehicles; — Part 2: Specification for security systems against theft of in-car equipment for entertainment and communication purposes; — Part 3: Specification for security marking of glazing for passenger cars and car derived vehicles; — Part 5b : Specification for central power locking systems for passenger cars and car derived vehicles 1) ; — Part 6a: Specification for dead locking systems for passenger cars and car derived vehicles 1) ; — Part 7: Specification for locking systems for goods vehicle drivers’ compartments It is envisaged that the following Parts will be published in due course — Part 8: Specification for locking systems for the load carrying compartment; — Part 9: Specification for security of ancillary equipment on CVs; — Part 0: Specification for immob ilizers A British Standard does not purport to include all the necessary provisions of a contract Users of British Standards are responsible for their correct application C ompliance with a British Standard does not of itself confer immunity from legal obligations Summary of pages This document comprises a front cover, an inside front cover, pages i and ii, pages to 6, an inside back cover and a back cover This standard
