Secured by Design TS009: 2019 Mailboxes - Designing Out Crime
This CPD examines the TS009: 2019 standard and explains why Secured by Design, the Door and Hardware Federation and ACPO recommend mailboxes over letter flaps generally, and TS009-compliant mailboxes over other types of mailbox specifically. Mail and parcel boxes are an increasingly popular choice among cost-conscious developers, too. This presentation explains why, as well as addressing what a TS009-compliant mailbox looks like, the independent testing process it must undergo to be certified, and when and where it should then be specified. Details of other standards with which mailboxes must comply are also covered, together with general advice on other measures that specifiers and developers can take to improve doorstep security.
