It applies to a wide range of residential doorsets and windows, regardless of whether they are manufactured from timber, uPVC, aluminium or another material.<\/p>\n<h1>What does PAS 24 mean?<\/h1>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">PAS stands for <strong>Publicly Available Specification<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">PAS 24 is a <strong>product security specification<\/strong>, rather than a general statement that a particular lock, hinge, bead or other individual component is secure.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">The standard assesses the security performance of complete doorsets and windows through defined testing procedures. The aim is to determine whether the product can resist attempted forced entry using methods associated with opportunistic burglary.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">In simple terms:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\"><strong>PAS 24 is a recognised UK standard for testing the security performance of doorsets and windows against attempted burglary.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h1>What does PAS 24 test?<\/h1>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">PAS 24 specifies test methods and acceptance criteria for the security performance of doorsets and windows.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">The testing is designed around realistic attack scenarios rather than simply testing one individual component in isolation. The current PAS 24:2022+A1:2024 standard covers a broad range of window and doorset configurations.<\/p>\n<h1>Windows covered by PAS 24<\/h1>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">PAS 24 can apply to windows including:<\/p>\n<ul data-spread=\"false\">\n<li>Top-hung, side-hung and bottom-hung windows<\/li>\n<li>Butt-hinged windows<\/li>\n<li>Projected windows<\/li>\n<li>Tilt-and-turn windows<\/li>\n<li>Sliding windows<\/li>\n<li>Fixed casements<\/li>\n<li>Parallel-opening windows<\/li>\n<li>French windows<\/li>\n<li>Pivot windows<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Doorsets covered by PAS 24<\/h3>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">The standard also covers a range of doorsets, including:<\/p>\n<ul data-spread=\"false\">\n<li>Single and double-leaf doorsets<\/li>\n<li>Hinged doorsets<\/li>\n<li>Sliding doorsets<\/li>\n<li>Pivot doorsets<\/li>\n<li>Folding-sliding doorsets<\/li>\n<li>Stable doors<\/li>\n<li>Doorsets with integral side panels<\/li>\n<li>Doorsets with fanlights<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">The standard applies to complete doorsets intended for pedestrian access, rather than simply testing individual door components.<\/p>\n<h1>Is PAS 24 a legal requirement?<\/h1>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\"><strong>PAS 24 itself is not a law.<\/strong> However, it is highly important when demonstrating compliance with UK building regulations.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">In England and Wales, PAS 24 is a key route for demonstrating compliance with <strong>Approved Document Q \u2013 Security in dwellings<\/strong>. BSI describes PAS 24 as forming the backbone of Part Q for new dwellings.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">This means that manufacturers, fabricators, architects, specifiers and builders may need to consider PAS 24 when specifying or supplying doorsets and windows for relevant new-build residential projects.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">For a particular project, the applicable building regulations and specification should always be checked with the relevant building-control or regulatory professional.<\/p>\n<h1>What is the difference between PAS 24 and Part Q?<\/h1>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\"><strong>PAS 24 and Part Q are not the same thing.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\"><strong>PAS 24<\/strong> is a product assessment specification that defines security testing and acceptance criteria for doorsets and windows.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\"><strong>Approved Document Q<\/strong> provides guidance on how the security requirements in the Building Regulations can be met for new dwellings in England and Wales.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">PAS 24 is one of the recognised ways of demonstrating that relevant doorsets and windows achieve the required level of security for Part Q.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">A simple way to think about the relationship is:<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\"><strong>Building Regulations \u2192 Approved Document Q \u2192 security requirements \u2192 PAS 24 testing\/certification<\/strong><\/p>\n<h1>What is the difference between PAS 24 and Secured by Design?<\/h1>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">PAS 24 and <strong>Secured by Design<\/strong> are closely related, but they are not the same standard.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">PAS 24 defines security performance requirements and testing for doorsets and windows.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Secured by Design is a UK Police initiative and certification scheme focused on crime prevention through appropriate design, products and security measures.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Certification to PAS 24 is <strong>one way that a doorset or window can meet the requirements of the Secured by Design scheme<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">It is therefore important not to describe PAS 24 and Secured by Design as interchangeable terms.<\/p>\n<h1>Does PAS 24 test individual components?<\/h1>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\"><strong>No. PAS 24 is primarily concerned with the security performance of the complete doorset or window.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">This distinction is particularly important for manufacturers and component suppliers.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">A window bead, door bead, lock, hinge or other individual component should not automatically be described as \u201cPAS 24 certified\u201d simply because it has been used in a PAS 24-certified product.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">BSI specifically states that the security performance requirements of PAS 24:2022+A1:2024 are not material-specific and that the PAS does not test component performance or installation requirements.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Instead, individual components contribute to the performance of the complete system.<\/p>\n<h1>Can timber windows achieve PAS 24?<\/h1>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\"><strong>Yes. PAS 24 is not limited to one particular window or door material.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">The requirements are performance-based rather than being restricted to a particular material. This means that timber, uPVC, aluminium and other types of doorsets and windows can be assessed against the requirements of PAS 24, subject to the relevant product and certification requirements.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">For timber window and door manufacturers, this makes the design and specification of every component particularly important.<\/p>\n<h1>Why is PAS 24 important for window and door manufacturers?<\/h1>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">PAS 24 provides manufacturers and fabricators with a recognised way of demonstrating enhanced security performance.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">It is particularly relevant to:<\/p>\n<ul data-spread=\"false\">\n<li>Window manufacturers<\/li>\n<li>Door manufacturers<\/li>\n<li>Timber window manufacturers<\/li>\n<li>Timber door manufacturers<\/li>\n<li>Fabricators<\/li>\n<li>Architects<\/li>\n<li>Building designers<\/li>\n<li>Specifiers<\/li>\n<li>Housebuilders<\/li>\n<li>Building-control professionals<\/li>\n<li>Certification bodies<\/li>\n<li>Test laboratories<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">BSI identifies manufacturers, fabricators, suppliers, architects, specifiers, certification bodies and test houses among the users of PAS 24.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">For manufacturers, achieving the appropriate certification can also provide evidence that a product has been independently assessed against recognised security requirements.<\/p>\n<h1>What changed in PAS 24:2022+A1:2024?<\/h1>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">The current version is <strong>PAS 24:2022+A1:2024<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">The 2024 amendment updated PAS 24:2022 to reflect changing criminal methods and updated references to relevant industry documents. BSI says the amendment was intended to keep the standard aligned with changing criminal practices and to improve the consistency of testing.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">This is important when researching older information about PAS 24 because previous versions, including PAS 24:2016 and PAS 24:2022, have now been withdrawn.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\"><strong>If you are specifying or designing a product today, always check which edition and certification requirements apply to your project.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h1>What does PAS 24 mean for window beads and door beads?<\/h1>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">A bead is only one part of a complete window or doorset, so it should not be considered in isolation when assessing PAS 24 performance.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">However, the design and installation of components such as beads can form an important part of the overall security design of a window or door system.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">At Qwood, our window and door beads are used as component parts within complete window and door systems. <strong>Qwood beads have been fitted to a number of window and door systems that have successfully achieved Secured by Design requirements.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">It is important to distinguish between the certification of the <strong>complete system<\/strong> and the performance of an individual component.<\/p>\n<h1>Why does security bead design matter?<\/h1>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Traditional glazing beads can form part of the security strategy of a window or doorset.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">For manufacturers developing security-focused products, the bead needs to work as part of the complete system rather than simply being considered as a cosmetic finishing component.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Factors such as:<\/p>\n<ul data-spread=\"false\">\n<li>Bead geometry<\/li>\n<li>Fixing method<\/li>\n<li>Retention<\/li>\n<li>Material<\/li>\n<li>Glazing configuration<\/li>\n<li>Frame design<\/li>\n<li>Hardware<\/li>\n<li>Installation<\/li>\n<li>Interaction with the rest of the window or doorset<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">can all be relevant to the performance of the completed product.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">The important point is that <strong>PAS 24 compliance relates to the tested product configuration<\/strong>. Changing components or construction details may affect the performance of the complete system and should therefore be assessed appropriately.<\/p>\n<h1>Frequently asked questions about PAS 24<\/h1>\n<h3>What is PAS 24 in simple terms?<\/h3>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">PAS 24 is a UK specification for testing the enhanced security performance of doorsets and windows. It assesses their ability to resist attacks associated with casual or opportunistic burglars.<\/p>\n<h3>Is PAS 24 the same as Secured by Design?<\/h3>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">No. PAS 24 is a security performance specification and testing standard. Secured by Design is a Police-led crime-prevention scheme. PAS 24 certification is one route that can help a doorset or window meet Secured by Design requirements.<\/p>\n<h3>Is PAS 24 the same as Part Q?<\/h3>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">No. PAS 24 is a product security specification. Approved Document Q provides guidance relating to security requirements in the Building Regulations. PAS 24 is a key method of demonstrating compliance for relevant doorsets and windows.<\/p>\n<h3>Does PAS 24 apply to timber windows?<\/h3>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Yes. PAS 24 is performance-based and is not restricted to a particular material. Timber windows can therefore be designed and tested to meet the relevant PAS 24 requirements.<\/p>\n<h3>Does a PAS 24-certified window bead exist?<\/h3>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">PAS 24 is concerned with the security performance of the complete window or doorset, not simply an individual bead. A component may be used within a PAS 24-tested system, but that does not necessarily mean the component itself is independently PAS 24 certified.<\/p>\n<h3>What is the current PAS 24 standard?<\/h3>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">The current version is <strong>PAS 24:2022+A1:2024<\/strong>. It was published in September 2024 and superseded PAS 24:2022.<\/p>\n<h3>Does PAS 24 guarantee that a window or door cannot be broken into?<\/h3>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">No. PAS 24 is designed to assess resistance to specified forms of attack associated with casual or opportunistic burglary. It should not be interpreted as a guarantee that a product is impossible to defeat.<\/p>\n<h1>PAS 24: the key points<\/h1>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">If you only remember five things about PAS 24, they should be these:<\/p>\n<ol start=\"1\" data-spread=\"false\">\n<li><strong>PAS 24 is a UK security specification for doorsets and windows.<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>It assesses enhanced resistance to attacks associated with casual or opportunistic burglars.<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>The current standard is PAS 24:2022+A1:2024.<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>PAS 24 is closely linked to Approved Document Q and can also be used as one route towards Secured by Design requirements.<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>PAS 24 applies to the performance of the complete tested doorset or window, rather than automatically certifying individual components.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h1>How Qwood can help<\/h1>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Qwood manufactures window beads, door beads and bespoke bead solutions for the fenestration industry.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Our products are designed to form part of complete window and door systems, including systems where enhanced security performance is an important consideration.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">If you are developing or specifying a timber window or door system and need advice about bead design, glazing beads or bespoke profiles, <strong>contact the Qwood technical team<\/strong> to discuss your requirements.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\"><strong>Need a bespoke bead?<\/strong> Request a sample or speak to our technical team about your project.<\/p>\n<h3>Sources and further information<\/h3>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">For the most up-to-date information about PAS 24, refer to the British Standards Institution and the relevant building-regulation guidance for your project.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Last updated: August 2026<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>PAS 24 is a UK security standard for doorsets and windows.
