What to think about first
Which rating you need
Start from your insurer's or specifier's requirement rather than choosing the highest number.
Certified product, not certified installer
The certificate covers the manufacturer's tested product. Check the certificate reference against the LPCB's listing.
Consents and safety: Scotland
Insurer requirements
Insurers set their own conditions for business premises, stock and cash. If your policy names a type or rating of grille, get the wording in writing before ordering.
Grilles across exits in business premises
In Scotland, the Fire (Scotland) Act 2005 and the Fire Safety (Scotland) Regulations 2006 make the duty holder keep escape routes and exits available and easy to open while people are present. A grille across an exit should be open whenever the premises are occupied.

LPS 1175 certified security grilles in Kirkcaldy: questions
Can you survey in Kirkcaldy and nearby towns?
Yes. Surveys in Kirkcaldy, Glenrothes, Leven and elsewhere in Fife are booked around installer availability.
Are you LPS 1175 certified?
No. Certification is held by the manufacturer for the tested product. We supply and install certified products and give you the manufacturer's certificate reference.
What do ratings like C5 or SR3 mean?
Under Issue 8 the letter is the threat level (the toolkit) and the number is the minutes of delay. SR1 to SR8 is the older scale; for example SR2 roughly corresponds to B3 and SR3 to C5.
Can an existing grille be certified?
No. Certification applies to manufactured products that have been tested; an existing uncertified grille cannot be upgraded to a rating.
