LPCB set to debut Live Testing Lab at The Security Event 2024

The LPCB Live Testing Lab affords visitors a unique opportunity to witness a team of professional forced entry specialists engaging with a diverse range of physical security products. From windows to fencing and door sets, the live demonstrations will showcase the resilience and effectiveness of these products in the face of simulated intrusion scenarios.

In addition to the Live Testing Lab, the LPCB has collaborated with industry partners to present the latest advancements in physical perimeter protection. Visitors can explore cutting-edge solutions, among them bollards, barriers, gates, fencing and locking systems.

As a globally recognised third party certification body for security and fire safety-related products and services, the LPCB boasts a storied history dating back to the 1880s. Delivered by the Building Research Establishment (BRE), the UK’s leading independent test and certification authority for security, fire and the built environment, LPCB certification is synonymous with excellence. The certification process itself involves rigorous testing, evaluation and quality audit procedures to ensure that approved products deliver proven levels of protection.

Commenting on this development, Richard Flint (technical and commercial lead for physical security at the BRE) stated: “We are thrilled to introduce the LPCB’s Live Testing Lab, wherein we can share our unparalleled knowledge and experience with delegates. It’s a great opportunity for individuals interested in forced entry protection to witness live attack tests and gain first-hand insight into the differences between certified and uncertified products.”

Flint added: “The backing we’ve received from both of the esteemed manufacturers exhibiting in the Live Testing Lab and The Security Event team at the Nineteen Group has been crucial in making this experience possible.”
