Secured by design and glass rooflight security

Secured by Design (SBD) is the official UK Police flagship security initiative, which combines the principals of ‘designing out crime’ through physical security and layout across all realms of the built environment. SBD works with industry houses to create and test high level security standards in response to trends in crime.

Where a product manufacturer has successfully passed relevant security testing to an approved standard, it can then apply to have that product marked with the SBD logo.

Although a product may in principal be secure and good enough to pass these standards, unless it has been tested and certificated it cannot use the Secured by Design mark and will not be supported by the Police.

This scheme is set up to make it easy for clients to recognise individual products prior to purchase and offer peace of mind that those products have been tested to a national standard that is recognised by Building Control.
