with the support of the Home Office and organizations connected with law enforcement, the motor vehicle construction industry and vehicle user organizations The provision of a central power locking system enhances vehicle security by reducing the onus on the driver, who only has to remember to lock the vehicle at one point, e g the driver’s door It is possible to add a “deadlocking” facility to a central power locking system This ensures that, even when the side door glazing is broken, unauthorized entry to the vehicle is still only possible through the glazing aperture, and is therefore a considerable additional deterrent to a thief BS AU 209- 6a covers this subj ect Other Parts of BS AU 209 are as follows: — Part 0: Code of practice for the application of security devices/systems to vehicles; — 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 4: Specification for security glazing for passenger cars and car derived vehicles; — Part 6a: Specification for dead locking systems for passenger cars and car derived vehicles; — Part 7: Specification for locking systems for goods vehicle driver’s 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 immobilizers 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 Compliance 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 4, an inside back cover and a back cover This standard has been updated (see copyright date) and may have had amendments incorporated This will be indicated in the amendment table on the inside front cover ii © BSI 06- 999 BS AU 209-5 b:1 996 Scope This Part of BS AU 209 specifies requirements for the performance of central power locking systems fitted to passenger compartment doors, luggage compartment or hatchback doors, engine compartment access, fuel filler aperture lids and 4.1 It shall be possible to unlock the closures fitted with external locks individually from outside the vehicle 4.1 If central power unlocking is possible from outside the vehicle, the system shall have two distinct modes of operation: sun- roof equipment of passenger cars and car a) unlocking only one of the nominated closures; derived vehicles and This Part of BS AU 209 is intended to supplement b) unlocking selected and/or all closures but not replace the requirements of Part a Normative references This British Standard incorporates, by reference, 4.1 The internal locking and unlocking controls for each door (with the child- proof locking feature, where fitted, set to be inoperative) shall have two distinct modes of operation: provisions from specific editions of other a) locking/unlocking only one of the nominated publications These normative references are cited closures; and at the appropriate points in the text and the publications are listed on the inside back cover Subsequent amendments to, or revisions of, any of b) locking/unlocking selected and/or all closures NOTE Central power locking systems may be fitted with an impact sensor, in accordance with 4.3 , such that all doors are these publications apply to this British Standard

possible to release or enable the For the purposes of this Part of BS AU 209 the release of the latches of any of the closures and definitions given in Part a apply, together with the thereby gain access to any of the areas protected by following the central power locking system by the methods described in 4.2.2 3.1 central power locking system a facility that provides for the locking by a single action of all closures to the passenger compartment and luggage space other than those which require no specific locking operation to reach a secure mode NOTE Locking of the engine compartment and other closures may be included in the system 3.2 impact sensor an inertia device that triggers the unlocking of the central power locking system in the event of the 4.2.2 If contact can be made with any part of the central locking power or signal circuits from outside the vehicle using a probe formed from wire of diameter mm, then the part that is contacted shall be tested in accordance with 4.2.3 4.2.3 Attach a simple tool via the external access point of the probe Manipulate the tool over the range of directions that are possible from the access point while applying the range of loads that the tool can transmit up to an absolute maximum of 300 N If any part of the circuits can be brought to an accessible position then tests shall be applied in vehicle suffering an impact accordance with Annex A Performance 4.3 Impact sensor 4.1 General 4.1 Central power locking systems shall conform to BS AU 209- a, and shall be installed so that entry to the passenger or luggage compartments of the vehicle, either directly or via the engine compartment, cannot be achieved by the use of simple tools 4.1 When locking the vehicle, it shall be possible to operate the central power locking system from: 4.3.1 Where a vehicle is fitted with an impact sensor, unlocking by the impact sensor shall be inoperative when the ignition is switched off 4.3.2 In the event that the impact sensor is triggered when the vehicle’s ignition is switched on, the central power locking system shall unlock and remain unlocked until a positive independent action has been taken to reset the impact sensor Where such action is not achieved by the ignition key or by operation of the external lock, and when the ignition a) at least one point within the passenger is on or the external lock is being operated, a compartment of the vehicle; and positive indication shall be provided on leaving the b) at least one specific external point © BSI 06- 999 vehicle until the system is reset BS AU 209-5b:1
