12、ttee to provide requirements for cabinets intended to be used for the secure storage of firearms and ammunition. The Firearms Rules 1989 prescribe a safekeeping condition to appear on a firearm certificate requiring that the firearm(s) and ammunition to which the certificate relates are stored secur
13、ely at all times so as to prevent unauthorized access, so far as is reasonably practicable, except when the firearm or ammunition is in use or being cleaned, repaired or tested or is in transit. A similar safekeeping condition appears on a shotgun certificate. It is emphasized that a gun cabinet to
14、this British Standard may be only one of a number of equally acceptable alternatives for satisfying the safekeeping condition of the Firearms Rules. The level of security provided by a gun cabinet is considered to be a combination of the factors of the time and tools available to a potential thief a
15、nd the concept of resistance to physical attack has been adopted for this British Standard based upon the probable determination of a criminal to gain access to a stored firearm. The requirements of this specification assume that the average potential thief is an opportunist and is not a determined
16、criminal specifically seeking to obtain firearms, who would be difficult to counter effectively by inexpensive means. In the development of this British Standard it was demonstrated that the specification only of the design and construction features of a gun cabinet was insufficient to provide adequ
17、ate resistance to sustained forcible attack; cabinets made to the most stringent existing design and construction requirements still provided points of weakness which could be breached in less than 1 min by the methods of physical attack described in this standard. However, some aspects of construct
18、ion have been included in the standard to provide additional security in the case of more subtle attempts to achieve access. The physical attack tests of this standard are based upon a predicted worst case for knowledge, location, tools and time to provide for a significant safety margin where care
19、is taken by the user over the siting of a cabinet, the use of any internal restraining devices provided and the overall security of the premises in which the cabinet is located. Purchasers of a gun cabinet claimed to conform to the requirements of this British Standard are advised to request the ven
20、dor to provide a test certificate from an independent testing organization for a type test conducted on representative examples of the cabinet. A British Standard does not purport to include all the necessary provisions of a contract. Users of British Standards are responsible for their correct appl
21、ication. 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 1 to 6, an inside back cover and a back cover. This standard has been updated (see copyright dat
22、e) and may have had amendments incorporated. This will be indicated in the amendment table on the inside front cover.

23、sh Standard specifies requirements for the construction and security of cabinets intended for the storage of firearms and ammunition when these are not in use. NOTEThe titles of the publications referred to in this standard are listed on the inside back cover. 2 Definitions For the purposes of this
24、British Standard the following definitions apply. 2.1 firearms rifles, handguns and shotguns as defined in the Firearms Act 1968 2.2 gun cabinet cabinet specifically intended for the secure storage of firearms and/or ammunition 2.3 access breaching of the security features of a gun cabinet to such a
25、n extent that a test piece representing an appropriate firearm can be removed 3 Security When tested in accordance with Appendix A, it shall not be possible to remove a gun cabinet from its mountings, or to achieve access. 4 Construction It shall be possible to lock the gun cabinet by means of one o
26、r more secure locks or close shackle padlocks of not less than 1 000 differs. Padlock shackles shall be hardened. Means shall be provided for the secure attachment of gun cabinets to a sound surface and the force required to pull the appropriate fixing bolt through any attachment point provided shal
27、l be not less than 2 kN; this force shall be applied directly to the bolt and without reinforcement of the surrounding area. NOTE 1Recommendations for the secure attachment of gun cabinets are given in Appendix B. All fixings provided shall be concealed when the gun cabinet is closed and locked. NOT
28、E 2Ventilation features may be necessary to provide optimum storage conditions for certain types of ammunition and attention is drawn to the Health and Safety Executive requirements for the storage of black powder. NOTE 3Materials and components used in the construction of a gun cabinet should be su
29、fficiently resistant to distortion under leverage or impact, cutting by hacksaw, drilling, or melting and/or ignition on heating such that the assembled unit can resist these forms of attack for a significant period of time, related to the attack test period. Attachments such as handles should be fr
30、angible or otherwise should not provide any points for leverage. NOTE 4Additional security for particular firearms may be achieved by the incorporation into a gun cabinet of internal restraining device(s), such as a strong cable or chain. 5 Marking and labelling A gun cabinet shall be marked permane
31、ntly on the interior with the following: a) the name and/or trademark of the manufacturer; b) the number and date of this British Standard, i.e. BS 7558:19921). The gun cabinet shall be accompanied by instructions and recommendations for its secure attachment, including all necessary information reg
32、arding the method(s) of attachment and any fixings required, if these are not supplied by the manufacturer. NOTEGuidance on the secure attachment of a gun cabinet is given in Appendix B. This is provided for information only and does not form a part of the requirements of this British Standard. 1) M
33、arking BS 7558:1992 on or in relation to a product represents a manufacturers declaration of conformity, i.e. a claim by or on behalf of the manufacturer that the product meets the requirements of the standard. The accuracy of the claim is therefore solely the responsibility of the person making the
34、 claim. Such a declaration is not to be confused with third party certification of conformity, which may also be desirable.

35、Method of test for resistance to attack A.1 Principle Timed attempts are made using common hand-tools to remove the entire gun cabinet from a test mount or to gain entry into the interior of the gun cabinet and remove its contents. A.2 General A.2.1 Test mount The ease or difficulty with which a gun
36、 cabinet can be prised off a wall depends upon the strength of the wall itself. The cabinet is therefore test-mounted to a fixture of strength greater than that of the cabinet so that the assessment of the cabinet, and mounting fasteners if these are supplied, is independent of the mounting fixture.
37、 A.2.2 Test operatives and procedures A.2.2.1 Experience with a variety of designs and construction gained during the development of the test procedures shows that it is impossible to remove entirely the human element from testing. In particular the following points are noted. a) Test operatives may
38、 become more adept at gaining access as more cabinets are tested. b) Knowledge of the constructional details of a cabinet, either acquired or imparted, can facilitate gaining entry. c) The test attacks are physically demanding. d) The variety of designs and constructions of cabinets precludes the es
39、tablishment of a set of simple mechanical operations of specified magnitude. Cabinets that prove resistant to entry by attack on one component or by one type of tool sometimes yield easily when attacked at a different point or with another tool. A.2.2.2 As a consequence of the observations described
40、 in A.2.2.1 a) and b), test operatives are required to have previous experience of the testing of gun cabinets, or similar products, for attack resistance and are allowed to examine the cabinet under test, as described in A.5.1.1, before commencing to attack it. A.2.2.3 As a consequence of the obser
41、vation described in A.2.2.1 c), the necessary strength and stamina are unlikely to be found in females and in males aged over 50 years or of small stature. A.2.2.4 As a consequence of the observation described in A.2.2.1 d), the test procedure evolved requires that attacks are made using different c
42、ombinations of tool and area of the cabinet, either until the cabinet proves resistant to all approaches or until the combination most likely to effect entry has been identified. In the latter case, the attack method is then continued in an attempt to gain entry. A.2.2.5 The hand-tools selected for
43、the tests represent those that might be used in physical attacks on gun cabinets and that are widely and readily available. These are specified in precise terms in order to standardize the attack test procedure to provide, so far as is possible, repeatable and reproducible results from this. A.3 App
44、aratus A.3.1 Test mount, comprising a surface to which the gun cabinet is affixed, having a strength and surface area greater than those of the cabinet to be tested. NOTESubstantial timber beams rag bolted to a brick or concrete wall (for wall-mounted tests) or floor (for floor-mounted tests) have b
45、een found to be satisfactory. A.3.2 Club hammer, 1.8 kg, complying with BS 876. A.3.3 Flat cold chisel, overall length 200 mm and blade width 25 mm, complying with BS 3066. A.3.4 Jemmy, hardened steel, of dimensions as shown in Figure 1. A.3.5 Simulated firearm(s), comprising wooden test pieces, sim
46、ulating a pistol and a rifle appropriate to the intended purposes of the cabinet, of dimensions as shown in Figure 2. NOTEThe smaller test piece may also be used to simulate a part of a broken down larger firearm and the larger test piece may also be used to simulate a shotgun. A.4 Preparing the cab
47、inet If the cabinet is supplied with fixings, use these to affix the cabinet to the test mount (A.3.1), otherwise use fixings recommended by the manufacturer. If the cabinet is intended for wall-mounting only or for wall- or floor-mounting, fix the cabinet to a test wall mount clear of the floor at
48、a convenient height. If the cabinet is intended for floor-mounting only, or for floor-and wall-mounting, fix it to a test floor mount or test floor and wall mount respectively, in accordance with the manufacturers instructions. Fix all cabinets so that there is unrestricted access to the top and any
49、 exposed sides. Place the appropriate simulated firearm(s) (A.3.5) into the cabinet in accordance with the manufacturers instructions, ignoring any internal restraining devices.
