Alfie Hosker, SBD Technical Manager, said, “Burton Security continues to expand their range of enhanced protection products, which can offer significant protection against a range of threats. The new Embassy Impact Cassette Security Walling System is one of the first walling systems to meet the vigorous requirements and testing procedures of the LPCB’s LPS 1673. Meeting this standard demonstrates that such products can offer protection against violent forced entry attacks by individuals targeting people and valuable assets, to a specified attack rating. Achieving one of the highest ratings under this standard, the D300E attack rating, demonstrates the Embassy offers robust protection against the threat posed by a determined and motivated attacker, in a number of scenarios, from the home to the workplace and beyond.”
