The need to revise
11、 the 1969 edition was occasioned chiefly by changes in the legal status of the substances that might be expected to be stored in the cupboard, following the publication of Regulations under the Medicines Act 1968, and by the publication of the Misuse of Drugs (Safe Custody) Regulations 1973. Before
12、1968 all medicines were covered by the poisons legislation, which categorized poisons and specified the degree of security needed for their storage. In 1968 new legislation classified poisons according to their use. Non-medical poisons remained under Home Office regulations but medicines came under
13、the control of the Department of Health and Social Security. Hence the category “Poisons”, to which the 1969 edition of BS 2881 referred, was superseded by the new category of “Medicines”. In 1971 the Misuse of Drugs Act introduced the term “Controlled Drugs” to replace “Dangerous Drugs”. The main d
14、ifferences between this British Standard and the 1969 edition are as follows. The requirements for materials and construction have been replaced by requirements and corresponding test methods that establish the performance of a number of aspects of the cupboard. In particular, a method for classifyi
15、ng the resistance of the cupboard to forcible entry is introduced and requirements for three levels of security of cupboards are given. The Technical Committee decided that its major responsibility was to ensure that the cupboards have adequate resistance to forcible entry and chose to achieve this
16、by developing strength criteria and appropriate performance test methods, and by the provision of a thief-resistant locking mechanism. Consequently, requirements for materials and methods of construction are in the main not specified, as they will vary according to the manner in which the strength a
17、nd other criteria have been satisfied by the cupboard manufacturer. A number of other design features are matters for agreement between the purchaser and the manufacturer and guidance on these is given in Appendix A. The cupboards covered by this British Standard are intended for the storage of Medi
18、cines at ambient temperatures primarily in hospital wards, nursing homes, residential homes and other health care premises. It is expected that they will also be applicable to other premises where suitably sized, secure cupboards are needed for similar purposes, e.g. General Practitioners surgeries,
19、 small-animal veterinary practices, schools and industrial medical centres. Appendix B gives additional information on Regulations and guidance that may apply to the storage of Medicines and Controlled Drugs. Although the cupboards covered by this British Standard are of robust construction and are
20、fitted with thief-resistant locking mechanisms, the prevention of unauthorized access to the contents depends also on the security of the fixing of the cupboard, the level of surveillance in the premises in which it is installed (which includes the presence of alarm systems) and the institution and
21、maintenance of appropriate procedures for personnel who will have right of access. A secure cupboard is of no avail if the key is indiscriminately available, if correct records are not kept, if it is possible to attempt forcible entry at leisure, or if it is easy to remove the unopened cupboard in o
22、rder to gain entry later. The exact nature of the practices and precautions to be adopted depends upon the local circumstances but general recommendations on the use, siting and installation of Medicines cupboards are given in Appendix C. This British Standard calls for the use of substances and/or
23、procedures that may be injurious to health if adequate precautions are not taken. It refers only to technical suitability and does not absolve the user from legal obligations relating to health and safety at any stage.

24、ncontrolled Copy, (c) BSI BS 2881:1989 BSI 06-1999iii In particular, attention is drawn to the procedure for testing the fire resistance of the cupboard. This procedure should be carried out by trained personnel under adequate supervision, and precautions should be taken to safeguard the health of p
25、ersonnel against the risk of fire or inhalation of smoke and toxic products of combustion. The test procedures described in Appendix D for assessing the security of cupboards were developed under a research contract, financed by the Department of Trade and Industry, at the Furniture Industry Researc
26、h Association. Product certification. Users of this British Standard are advised to consider the desirability of third party certification of product conformity with this British Standard based on testing and continuing surveillance, which may be coupled with assessment of a suppliers quality system
27、s against the appropriate Part of BS 5750. Enquiries as to the availability of third party certification schemes will be forwarded by BSI to the Association of Certification Bodies. If a third party certification scheme does not already exist, users should consider approaching an appropriate body fr
28、om the list of Association members. 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. In pa
29、rticular, attention is drawn to the Statutory Instruments given in Appendix B. Summary of pages This documents comprises a front cover, an inside front cover, pages i to iv, pages 1 to 8, an inside back cover and a back cover. This standard has been updated (see copyright date) and may have had amen
30、dments incorporated. This will be indicated in the amendment table on the inside front cover.

31、ed Copy, (c) BSI BS 2881:1989 BSI 06-19991 0 Introduction Cupboards covered by this British Standard are classified into three security levels depending upon their resistance to forcible entry. This British Standard does not specify which security level should be used for particular applications and
32、 advice should be sought from specialist security advisers. However, generalized examples of applications are as follows. a) Security level 1 cupboards. Where the risk of attack is low, e.g. in an area that is normally continuously manned. b) Security level 2 cupboards. Where the risk of attack is g
33、reater, e.g. in an area that is not normally continuously manned but is within a building that is normally continuously manned, or in an unmanned building when the response time to the activation of an alarm is expected to be less than 10 min. c) Security level 3 cupboards. Where the risk of attack
34、is high, e.g. as a result of the situation of the premises or of the high value of the cupboard contents, or in an unmanned building when the response time to the activation of an alarm is expected to be at least 10 min. 1 Scope This British Standard specifies requirements for cupboards of three sec
35、urity levels intended for the storage of Medicines at ambient temperature in health care premises. The cupboards covered are not primarily intended for the following: a) the storage of Controlled Drugs subject to the Misuse of Drugs (Safe Custody) Regulations; b) the bulk storage of Medicines by pha
36、rmaceutical manufacturers and wholesalers; c) the bulk storage of Medicines in hospital, retail and other pharmacies; d) the storage of Medicines in domestic premises; e) the storage of Medicines that require refrigerated or other special storage conditions; f) the storage of first-aid equipment and
37、 supplies. NOTE 1The storage of many Controlled Drugs is subject to either the Misuse of Drugs (Safe Custody) Regulations or to an order made under Section 11 of the Misuse of Drugs Act 1971. The cupboards covered by this British Standard are Medicines cupboards but, in some circumstances, may be de
38、emed by a police officer or Home Office Inspector to be suitable for use as part of the total provision for the storage of Controlled Drugs. In such cases Appendix C may not apply. NOTE 2Attention is drawn to the regulations that may pertain to the use of cupboards and that are given in Appendix B.
39、NOTE 3Guidance on the use, siting and installation of Medicines cupboards is given in Appendix C (see also note 1). NOTE 4Information that should be supplied by the purchaser is given in Appendix A. NOTE 5The titles of the publications referred to in this standard are listed on inside back cover. 2
40、Definition For the purposes of this British Standard the following definition applies. entry (to a cupboard) deformation or penetration of a cupboard to such an extent that the intended contents could be removed by hand or by a tool. 3 Classification For the purposes of this British Standard cupboar
41、ds shall be classified as follows, on the basis of their resistance to forcible entry as specified in clause 4: a) security level 1; b) security level 2; c) security level 3. 4 Security of cupboard When tested in accordance with Appendix D, both samples of the cupboard shall comply with the appropri
42、ate requirements given in Table 1. NOTEThe tests and requirements for security pertain only to the exterior door(s) and surfaces of the cupboard. They are not intended to be applied to the interior compartment and door(s), if fitted. 5 Fasteners Provision shall be made for the cupboard to be attache
43、d to a wall and/or floor. All fasteners used in the construction of the cupboard and for attaching it to a fixed surface shall be situated so that they are inaccessible when the cupboard door is locked. NOTECupboards should be provided with at least four points for fixing to a wall or floor. The bol
44、t holes of cupboards of security levels 2 and 3 should be protected internally, e.g. by steel plates of at least 3 mm thickness and 19 000 mm2 area. 6 Surface finish NOTE 1See item k) of Appendix A for information on surface finish to be supplied by the purchaser to the supplier. NOTE 2All applied c
45、oatings should be made of non-toxic materials. 6.1 Resistance to cold liquids When tested in accordance with BS 3962-4 but using industrial methylated spirits BP (70 % V/V) and phenolic disinfectant complying with BS 5910-1 as the test liquids, all internal surfaces of the cupboard, including the sh
46、elves if fitted, shall have a rating of 3 or above.
