A classic type of security system that is activated by physical keys is the key lock. For many applications where manual locking and unlocking is desirable, they offer controlled access and security, and their simplicity, cost, and familiarity make them highly regarded.
As part of the overall security measures put in place across a variety of businesses and sectors, key locks in security equipment are essential for preventing theft, tampering, and illegal entry. These locks are made expressly to improve the security of machinery, safes, cabinets, server racks, and other types of equipment. They usually work with keys that are specially made to open the corresponding lock, guaranteeing access control and safeguarding delicate supplies or machinery.
The constant requirement for dependable and secure access control systems to safeguard assets, data, and sensitive locations from unwanted entry or breaches is what drives the demand for key locks inside security equipment.
Under IS 17566: 2021, all key locks for security equipment are covered by the required ISI Certification Scheme.
The general requirements and performance standards that apply to key locks used in security equipment, such as safes, strong room doors, safe deposit locker cabinets, and other such products, are described in this standard.
Indian Standards Institute, or ISI was renamed the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) in 1987. The official mark that the Bureau of Indian Standards provides for manufacturers of various goods is the ISI Mark. It is used to indicate compliance with Indian standards (IS) set by the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) and has been used as a conformity marking for industrial products. Manufacturers received permission from BIS to use the ISI Mark on items that comply with relevant Indian requirements through the product certification program.
Only manufacturers (domestic or foreign) who produce the finished product will be awarded ISI Certification. This will not be given to any product importers, traders, dealers, or distributors.
