protex 1 A1 (SR1) SECURITY FENCING

ProtEx 1 A1 (SR1) is certified by the Loss Prevention Certification Board to LPS 1175 Issue 8 at A1 (SR1) level. The system is designed to provide resistance to forced entry using basic hand tools such as cable cutters and pliers. This certification gives contractors and end users confidence when specifying ProtEx 1 mesh fencing for sites where a tested level of perimeter security is required.

The ProtEx 1 system uses 2089 large, raised steel expanded metal, selected for its inherent strength and anti-climb performance. The raised mesh profile offers no finger or footholds, making climbing difficult while maintaining good visibility across the perimeter.

Expanded metal mesh is formed from a single piece of steel, with no welds, joins or strands that can work loose over time. This homogenous construction results in a strong and durable fencing panel that cannot be easily targeted.

*Certification no. 731J Issue: 01

lps 1175 security ratings

A selection of ExMesh Engineering products are certified to LPS 1175, the recognised UK standard for measuring resistance to forced entry.

Ratings like A1, B3 and C5 define both the duration of attack resistance and the category of tools used during testing. These classifications help ensure the fencing system selected is appropriate for the threat level and operational risk of the site.

Understanding the correct rating is essential when specifying perimeter security for high-risk environments.
