and 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 dead locking system enhances the level of vehicle security provided by the mechanical locking systems specified in BS AU 209- a in conj unction, as appropriate, with the central power locking systems specified in BS AU 209- by ensuring that even when the vehicle glazing is broken, unauthorized entry is possible only by climbing through the glazing aperture Dead locking is therefore a considerable deterrent to a would- be thief This standard is not a substitute for anti- burst latch test requirements for vehicle doors or for protective devices used on the steering system, transmission or gear lever 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 pasenger cars and car derived vehicles; — Part 4: Specification for security glazing for passenger cars and car derived vehicles; — Part 5b: Specification for central power 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 and 2, 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 209-6a:1 996 Scope This Part of BS AU 209 specifies requirements for the performance of dead locking systems fitted to passenger compartment doors, luggage compartment or hatchback doors, engine compartment access, fuel filler aperture lids and sun- roof equipment of passenger cars and car derived vehicles This Part of BS AU 209 is intended to supplement but not replace the requirements of Part a and, for a centrally locked system, Part 5b 4.4 When the dead locking system is activated either all internal closure controls shall free- wheel or it shall not be possible to release any latch by: a) the application of a steady force of (300 ± 0) N for s minimum in any direction on the appropriate unlocking control; or b) if the control normally operates in a rotational movement, the application of a steady torque of (50 ± 3) N · m for s minimum in each direction Where a mechanism is fractured or damaged as a result of a) or b) , it shall be deemed to conform to Normative references This British Standard incorporates, by reference, this Part of BS AU 209 provided that the appropriate latches have not been released provisions from specific editions of other 4.5 It shall not be possible to lock a centrally publications These normative references are cited powered dead locking system if: at the appropriate points in the text and the a) the statutory protective device has not been publications are listed on the inside back cover activated, or set to activate; Subsequent amendments to, or revisions of, any of these publications apply to this British Standard only when incorporated in it by updating or revision Definitions For the purposes of this Part of BS AU 209 the definitions given in Parts a and 5b apply, together with the following dead locking system a system that renders the interior and exterior controls of any closure inoperable other than by operation of the system’s external lock(s) b) the vehicle ignition, or the diesel equivalent, is switched on; c) all passenger and driver’s doors are fitted with power- operated windows and one or more doors are unlatched 4.6 It shall not be possible for a single power malfunction to cause dead locking of all the doors Compliance shall be checked by calculation The manufacturer shall maintain evidence that the calculation method used simulates the results obtained by the method described in Annex B 4.7 The locking system shall be designed to ensure that dead locking shall not be effective in the normal Performance 4.1 The locking systems shall conform to BS AU 209- a and, for centrally locked systems, BS AU 209- 5b in the locked modes 4.2 The dead locking system shall be installed so that entry to the passenger or luggage compartment of the vehicle, either directly or via the engine compartment, cannot be achieved by the use of simple tools 4.3 In order to activate the dead locking system the external lock shall be operated with its own key or remote unit The external lock shall have either: a) three conditions (unlocked, normal locked and dead locked) where dead locking is a separate deliberate action and is not an uninterrupted continuation, under similar force levels, of the action required to achieve normal locking; or operating condition of the vehicle Test conditions For the tests specified in Annex A and Annex B, a representative complete vehicle shall be provided together with installation drawings of the system applicable to the vehicle NOTE Pre- test familiarization of the dead locking system by examination of the vehicle and the drawings is permitted Only those parts of the dead locking system that have not been tested in accordance with BS AU 209- a and BS AU 209- 5b, including any parts located within the engine compartment, shall be tested in accordance with Annex A and Annex B For tests carried out with the dead locking system activated, all glazing, excluding security glazing, giving access to the passenger compartment shall be either broken or removed b) two conditions (unlocked and dead locked) except for the last mm above the bottom of the where only internal controls are provided for daylight opening normal locking (i e anti- hij acking) Before the start of the tests all external closures shall be fully closed and latched, and locked where locks are provided © BSI 06- 999 BS AU 209-6a:1 996 Annex A (normative) Power system tests Annex
