What are the cylinder certifications offered by SOLD SECURE? Part II

你不知道的鎖事 認證篇 - SOLD SECURE的鎖心認證有哪些? 中篇

#1

In the previous article, we mentioned that SOLD SECURE has four security grades, and the testing methods vary depending on the certification. Our company's lock cylinders have achieved the highest levels of Diamond and Gold certifications in SOLD SECURE.

在上一篇文章中，我們有提到SOLD SECURE有四項的安全等級，而根據不同的認證，他的測試方式也會不同。而我司的鎖心，在SOLD SECURE的認證中獲得了最高等級的鑽石牌和金牌。

As shown in the diagram below, the testing process for our lock cylinders involves multiple certifications. This means that our lock cylinders undergo a rigorous evaluation process to ensure their security and performance.

如下圖的測試流程，其實我們的鎖心是需要經過多種認證的!

#2

The first one is EN1303.

第一個是EN1303

EN1303 is a European standard test developed and managed by the European Committee for Standardization (CEN). This standard applies to mechanical lock cylinders in the European market and aims to ensure that these cylinders meet specific performance and security requirements. EN1303 covers various types of lock cylinders, including the design, functionality, and durability of keys and mechanical components. Through the testing and certification according to EN1303, manufacturers of lock cylinders can ensure that their products comply with the standards of the European market, providing a higher level of security and quality assurance. Such standard testing is crucial in ensuring the safety and confidence of consumers and users when using mechanical lock cylinders.

EN1303是歐洲的標準測試，由歐洲標準委員會（CEN）制定和管理。該標準適用於歐洲市場上的機械式鎖心，旨在確保這些鎖心符合特定的性能和安全要求。EN1303標準涵蓋了各種鎖心類型，包括鑰匙和機械部件的設計、功能和耐用性。通過EN1303的測試和認證，鎖心的製造商可以確保其產品符合歐洲市場的標準，提供更高水準的安全性和品質保證。這樣的標準測試對於確保消費者和用戶在使用機械鎖心時的安全性和信心至關重要。

➜ Key operation test: Evaluates the smoothness and correctness of key insertion and rotation in the lock cylinder.

    鑰匙操作測試：評估鑰匙插入和轉動鎖心的順暢程度以及操作的正確性。

➜ Key durability test: Tests the durability of the key under continuous use and mechanical stress to ensure long-term reliability.

    鑰匙耐久性測試：測試鑰匙在連續使用和機械應力下的耐用性，以確保長期使用的可靠性。

➜ Disassembly resistance test: Tests whether the structure and components of the lock cylinder can resist attempts of disassembly and dismantling.

    防拆卸測試：測試鎖心的結構和組件是否能夠抵抗拆卸和分解的嘗試。

➜ Corrosion resistance test: Tests the lock cylinder's resistance to corrosion under different environmental conditions to ensure long-term durability.

    抗腐蝕測試：測試鎖心在不同環境條件下對腐蝕的抵抗能力，以確保其長期耐用性。

➜ Impact resistance test: Tests whether the lock cylinder can withstand external impacts and shocks to ensure its impact resistance performance.

    防撞擊測試：測試鎖心是否能夠承受外部撞擊和沖擊，以確保其抗衝擊性能。

➜ Pliers resistance test: Tests whether the lock cylinder can resist cutting and attacks pliers to ensure its shear resistance ability.

    防鉗剪測試：測試鎖心是否能夠抵抗剪斷和鉗子攻擊，以確保其抗剪切能力。

➜ Prying resistance test: Tests whether the lock cylinder can resist prying and manipulation attempts to ensure its resistance to prying.

    防撬測試：測試鎖心是否能夠抵抗撬開和撬動的嘗試，以確保其抗撬性能。

➜ Low-temperature impact test: Tests the performance of the lock cylinder when subjected to impacts and shocks at freezing temperatures, ensuring its reliability in low-temperature environments.

    低溫度衝擊測試：測試鎖心在受到冷凍溫度下的撞擊和沖擊時的表現，以確保其在低溫環境下的可靠性。

These tests ensure that the functionality and performance of the lock cylinder meet the requirements of the EN1303 standard and provide a certain level of security assurance. The specific methods and requirements for these testing items can be found in the EN1303 standard document.

這些測試確保了鎖心的功能和性能符合EN 1303標準的要求，並提供一定水準的安全性保證。這些測試項目的具體方法和要求可以在EN 1303標準文件中找到。

After passing the EN1303 test, it is necessary to undergo the BSI's TS007 Clause 4.2, which focuses on non-destructive attacks on the lock cylinder itself, such as tapping, picking, drilling, etc. The BSI certification will be further introduced in subsequent articles.

而在通過EN1303測試後，會需要通過BSI的TS007 Clause 4.2，此測試內容更針對鎖心本體的非強烈破壞性攻擊(敲、挑、鑽…等)，而BSI的認證會在之後的文章介紹到。

Upon successfully completing the TS007 Clause 4.2 test, one can apply for the SOLD SECURE Gold certification. The SOLD SECURE Gold test is very similar to EN1303, as it involves basic attack tests on the lock cylinder.

在通過TS007 Clause 4.2的測試後，即可申請SOLD SECURE的金牌測試。而SOLD SECURE的金牌測試幾乎跟EN1303相同，都是針對鎖心基本的攻擊測試。

Once you have obtained the Gold certification, the testing process concludes. However, if you wish to achieve the additional security level introduced by the SOLD SECURE Diamond certification, it is necessary to determine if your lock cylinder has a designed locking mechanism.

獲得了金牌後，測試到這邊就結束了，但如果想要獲得SOLD SECURE引入的額外安全級別鑽石牌，就需要判斷您的鎖心是否有設計上鎖機制。

The Diamond certification involves a so-called snap (or break) test. If your lock cylinder does not have a designed locking mechanism, it will not be able to pass the Diamond certification test.

因為鑽石牌有所謂的折斷(也就是破壞)測試，如果你的鎖心沒有設計上鎖機制的話，就無法通過鑽石牌的測試。

What is a snap(break) test?

而什麼是折斷測試呢?

The snap test, also known as the break test, is conducted by installing the lock core into the door case and locking it (with the bolt extended). Within a specified time limit, a pair of pliers or other permitted tools are used to break or twist one side of the lock core (or the designated EXT side), exposing the central linkage structure and allowing attacks from any point using the authorized tools. If the door case can be driven to unlock (with the bolt retracted) within the specified time, the test is considered a failure; otherwise, it is deemed a successful test.

折斷測試就是將鎖心裝入門匣並上鎖(鎖栓伸出)後，在時限內以鉗子或其他准許工具將鎖心其中一側(或指定的EXT側)折斷、扭斷，暴露連桿中心結構後以允許工具攻擊任意部位。時限內若門匣可被鎖心驅動至解鎖(鎖栓收回)則測試失敗、反之為測試成功。

Therefore, it is crucial to ensure that your lock core has a designed locking mechanism before conducting the test. The locking mechanism, in simple terms, is a defensive measure that prevents subsequent attacks by blocking them from the cam surface when the key end is broken or compromised. However, the locking mechanism should not be too easily bypassed, as it would not meet the requirements for the Sold Secure Diamond certification.

所以在進行測試前，一定要確認你的鎖心有設計上鎖機制，而上鎖機制簡單說就是鎖匙端遭遇折斷破壞時，從凸輪面擋住後續攻擊的防禦手段。但你的上鎖機制也不能夠太容易被破解，否則也無法通過鑽石牌的測試。

The common test items for the Sold Secure Diamond certification include:

而鑽石牌測試常見的測試項目：

➜ Destruction Test: Testers use various tools and methods to intentionally damage the product, such as prying, drilling, sawing, and impact, to assess its durability and resistance.

    破壞測試：測試人員使用各種工具和方法對產品進行破壞，包括撬開、鑽孔、鋸切、敲擊等，以評估其耐久性和抵抗力。

➜ Force Test: Testers apply force to the product to evaluate its resistance against prying.

    撬開測試：測試人員使用力量施加到產品上，評估其抵抗撬開的能力。

➜ Drill Resistance Test: Testers attempt to drill into the product to assess its resistance against drilling.

    防鑽測試：測試人員使用鑽頭對產品進行鑽孔嘗試，以評估其防鑽性能。

➜ Saw Resistance Test: Testers attempt to saw through the product to evaluate its resistance against sawing.

    防鋸測試：測試人員使用鋸片對產品進行鋸切嘗試，以評估其防鋸性能。

➜ Cut Resistance Test: Testers attempt to cut the product using scissors or pliers to assess its resistance against cutting.

    防剪測試：測試人員使用剪刀或鉗子對產品進行剪斷嘗試，以評估其抵抗剪斷的能力。

➜ Prying Resistance Test: Testers use pry bars and similar tools to attempt to pry open the product and evaluate its resistance against prying.

    防撬測試：測試人員使用撬棍等工具進行撬開嘗試，以評估產品的防撬性能。

Indeed, it's important to note that to undergo the Diamond testing for Sold Secure certification, it is not necessary to first pass the Gold testing. Instead, the prerequisite is to successfully meet the requirements of BSI's TS007 Clause 4.2.

而需要特別注意的是，要進行鑽石牌的測試只需要先通過BSI的TS007 Clause 4.2，不用先通過SOLD SECURE的金牌測試喔!
