The BBA have published assessments on Laird's safety Egress hinges and security hardware for windows.

The report gives an in depth assessment on the endurance, mechanical, corrosion and resistance to wear and fatigue for the Charisma 2 window handle and the Egress E1 friction hinges.

In a separate report, BBA have issued data to support security performance on the Saracen HS Shootbolt (face-fixed bars and snap-fit rods) and the Saracen SXL friction hinge.

The programmes followed a series of rigorous tests which confirmed that the performance of these products were consistent with a 25 year predicted service life for a PVC-U window. The hardware was subjected to 25,000 operational cycles and tested to meet BS 6375 - 2:1987 and BS 7950: 1997; all operations were found to be normal.

The corrosion resistance results indicated that Laird hardware achieved grade (class) 4 (240 hrs - very high resistance to corrosion) as defined by BS EN 1670: 1998 making it suitable for coastal and industrial locations.

The Saracen hardware package is licensed by Secured by Design and is available under the Saracen Secure Guarantee
