The rating tells you which tools the grille resisted and for how long, which is what many insurers and specifiers ask for.

Things to decide before you order
Certified product, not certified installer
The certificate covers the manufacturer's tested product. Check the certificate reference against the LPCB's listing.
Installation
A certified grille only performs as tested if it is fixed into a suitable structure as the manufacturer specifies.
Rules that apply in England
External grilles and planning
External grilles and shutters on shops and other commercial buildings normally need planning permission from the local council because they change the building's appearance. Many councils' shopfront guides favour internal, open-lattice grilles, particularly in conservation areas.
Grilles across exits in business premises
In workplaces and other non-domestic premises, including the common parts of blocks of flats and HMOs, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 makes the responsible person keep escape routes and emergency exits available and easy to open while people are present. A grille across an exit should be unlocked and parked open whenever the building is occupied, and covered in the fire risk assessment.

LPS 1175 certified security grilles in Birkenhead: questions
Do you cover Liverpool as well as Birkenhead?
Yes. As well as Birkenhead, we can arrange surveys in nearby Liverpool, Wallasey and Bebington, and elsewhere in Merseyside.
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.
Does my insurer need LPS 1175?
Only your insurer can say. Send us their wording and we will quote products that match it.
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.
