SR1 is a familiar designation associated with the LPS 1175 standard for assessing resistance to attempted forced entry. It is relevant to projects where a specified level of tested perimeter security is required. Selecting the right system means looking beyond the appearance of a fence and checking the certification and configuration of the actual product.

Whether you are planning a new commercial development, upgrading an existing perimeter or working to a security consultant's specification, we can discuss your requirements and help establish the next steps towards a suitable fencing solution.

What Is SR1 Security Fencing?

SR1 is an established term used for a security rating under earlier editions of LPS 1175. The standard assesses how effectively a product resists defined attempts at forced entry, using specified tools and testing conditions.

LPS 1175 classifications have evolved between editions of the standard. Under the newer classification system, A1 is commonly associated with the earlier SR1 designation. When specifying security fencing, it is important to check the precise rating, standard edition and certification listed for the proposed product.

Not every steel fence, palisade fence or mesh panel fence carries an LPS 1175 rating. The rating applies to the assessed product and its permitted configuration, rather than to a general style of fencing.

Where Can SR1 Security Fencing Be Used?

Depending on the project's risk assessment and specification, appropriately certified SR1 security fencing may be considered for a range of commercial and industrial applications. The correct choice will depend on the level of protection required and the particular product being proposed.

Potential applications may include:

  • Commercial premises and business parks
  • Industrial units and warehouse boundaries
  • Distribution and logistics facilities
  • Operational sites requiring specified perimeter protection
  • Commercial developments with security requirements
  • Projects where an architect or security consultant specifies a tested system

These are examples rather than a guarantee that every SR1 product is suitable for every site. The project's security specification should determine the rating and product required.

Choosing the Right SR1 Security Fence

When considering SR1 fencing, it is important to assess the whole perimeter rather than just the fence panels. The proposed system needs to be suitable for the site's layout, ground conditions, access requirements and security objectives.

Important considerations include:

  • Product certification: Confirm the exact LPS 1175 classification and the product configuration covered.
  • Fence height and layout: Select a system that meets the project specification and site requirements.
  • Gates and access points: Ensure that entrances and gates are considered as part of the overall perimeter design.
  • Ground conditions: Consider foundations, gradients and the proposed installation method.
  • Future maintenance: Allow for the ongoing inspection and maintenance requirements of the installed system.

Where an LPS 1175 rating is mandatory, the relevant certification and installation requirements should be confirmed before the product is ordered or installed.

SR1 or SR3 Fencing - Which Do You Need?

SR1 and SR3 are different security designations, and the appropriate choice depends on the threat assessment and the requirements of the site. A higher rating should not be selected simply because it sounds more secure; the system should match the project's specified level of protection.

If your project calls for a different rating, you can also read our guide to LPS 1175 SR3 security fencing. For a general introduction to the standard and the different ratings, visit our LPS 1175 security fencing page.
