1. Foreword
It is the Mission of Sold Secure to test and provide professional and accurate advice regarding effective security products to commercial customers, the insurance industry, the Home Office, the Police and the public. Sold Secure is a company dedicated to reducing the risk of theft by the assessment of security products. Sold Secure was established in 1992 by Northumbria and Essex Police with the help and backing of the Home Office. It is now administered by the Master Locksmiths Association. The scheme has close ties with a number of constabularies and insurers who provide regular information regarding the methods of theft and the tools utilised by criminals in their area. This helps to maintain an up to date specification and means security products can be assessed in the light of the risk they are likely to encounter when in use. Sold Secures only source of income is from the fees it levies to undertake its work. However, as the company does not have to pay dividends to shareholders it is able to offer its services at very competitive rates. All surplus income is reinvested in crime prevention. Manufacturers and suppliers can apply to have their products approved by Sold Secure. Products which have been satisfactorily assessed may bear the Sold Secure Quality Mark. Information on these approved products is circulated by Sold Secure to crime prevention officers, insurance companies, the media, the Home Office and the public, and is available free to those who require it. The Approved Product list gives the reader an insight into the more effective security products, it does not give any form of guarantee that these products will be 100% effective in combating crime. Also, It does not guarantee that these methods are suitable for specific applications. It is the responsibility of the equipment supplier and equipment purchaser to ensure that any system is suitable to its particular application and that it complies with all legislation, standards, codes of practice or any other requirement. Every effort has been made to ensure the contents of the list are accurate, however Sold Secure does not accept any responsibility for loss arising from decisions based upon it.

2. Introduction
The motorcycle security systems covered by this specification are intended for after market fitment. They include the following: Security measures such as locking devices which will prevent unauthorised use of the motorcycle. The purpose of this specification is to prescribe minimum standards for components, system features and installation of the security systems which will be recognised by Sold Secure. Such standards are needed to ensure that the system is effective in deterring the potential thief but also does not interfere with motorcycle operation in a manner that could be hazardous to the driver. The system will be likely to resist attack for 5 minutes. It should be noted that the specification only prescribes minimum standards for motorcycle security systems. The security systems manufacturer must ensure that their system is suitable both for the motorcycle environment and specific motorcycle application. Sold Secure does not accept any liability, howsoever arising, for any personal injury, loss or damage caused by any of the products or services which may from time to time be supplied as part of the scheme. The evaluation and test procedure includes a detailed technical evaluation of the system by Sold Secure. This specification has been written by the Sold Secure Technical Committee in conjunction with the Home Office, Police Scientific Development Branch (PSDB). It may be amended from time to time to incorporate advances in standards and technology in both components and system design. Amendments to attack testing methods may also be required to keep pace with current criminal trends.

3. Test Methods
The following test methods will be carried out on all products to be evaluated. To attain Sold Secure Approval the product must successfully withstand each test method for a period of five minutes. Each test may be carried out on a new sample or, at the examiners discretion, samples may be reused where previous tests would not influence the test outcome. More information on Sold Secure testing is available in SS 00 Sold Secure Product Approval (providing info on tool condition as well as testers used etc).

3.1 Resistance to Picking and Other Manipulation Techniques. Lock picking skills are relatively commonplace and so the lock (whether it be purely mechanical or part of an electrical keyswitch) must be resistant to picking. A minimum of 1000 effective differs, without the use of wards or bullets, is required in accordance with BS3621:1980. Secondly, a Sold Secure approved tester is required to use the following techniques in an attempt to pick/manipulate the lock: Using picking tools designed to open the mechanism under test. Using three key blanks designed to fit the keyway, together with impressioning file and marking agent. Visual examination of differs in order to decode the combination and provide a key. The above involves three separate tests of five minutes each on three separate product samples. In order to comply with the specification, the number of usable calculated differs must not be less than 1000 and the lock must be resistant to picking/manipulation for a period of 5 minutes or more.

3.2 Resistance to drilling The system shall resist drilling for at least 5 minutes using a maximum load to the drill of 500N. Test: Cordless drill, from the Sold Secure Tool List, fitted with a drill bit, from the Sold Secure Tool List, applied at the weakest point of the product. Where the product is designed to be rigidly attached to the motorcycle, the drill test may be carried out with the product rigidly clamped in a vice. Where the product is designed to be loosely coupled then the product must be hand held. 3.3 Torque Attack The product shall resist torque attack for at least 5 minutes. Test: Product to resist torque applied via keyway, cylinder housing or any part of the product where application of torque is viable. Consideration must be given to the location of the device when fitted, which will offer resistance to torque attack. Example: Keyway and cylinder housing torque resistance to be bench tested, torque applied elsewhere should if at all possible be applied when the product is fitted to the motorcycle. In any event full details to be supplied by the examiner. The maximum torque used shall be 400 Nm but this figure shall be

reduced if the location of the product minimises the ability to apply high torque. Tools: Torque device from the Sold Secure Tool List. 3.4 Pull Attack (Slide Hammer) The system shall resist attack using slide hammer. Test: Using a slide hammer, from the Sold Secure Tool List. Consideration is to be given to the access of the fitted device.

3.5 Wedge Attack The system shall resist attack for a minimum of 5 minutes using impact energies of up to 60J. Test: Using a hammer, from the Sold Secure Tool List, together with suitable steel wedges which may include flat blade screwdrivers. The exact choice of wedges should be left to the examiners discretion. The attack should be on the bench and the wedges inserted into the keyway, between shackle and the padlock body or any other part of the product where the attack is likely to succeed. Consideration must be given to the location of the device when fitted and what it is fitted to, since the mountings should be subject to the same test.

3.6 Cutting Test: The product together with accessible mountings shall resist attack for not less than 5 minutes. Mountings shall include non-permanent couplings. Tools: Saw and saw blade from the Sold Secure Tool List. The blade may be replaced after 2.5 minutes of attack. Maximum saw load shall be 20N and maximum number of strokes per minute shall be 60.

3.7 Side and End Load Test: The side and end loading of the locking mechanism is likely to have an effect. The mechanism shall withstand a 15 kN static load, applied at right angles to the direction of locking and 10 kN static load applied in the opposite locking direction. The product shall be tested as a whole. Consideration must be given as to how this loading could be applied to the device when fitted to a motorcycle.

3.8 Leverage Attack The product shall withstand manual attack using levers from the Sold Secure Tool List. The product shall be tested in either a simulated fitted position or on a motorcycle. Attack on the product mountings is allowed.

3.9 Shim Attack The product shall resist attack using a set of shims, from the Sold Secure Tool List, for a period of 5 minutes.

3.10 Bolt Cropper The product shall resist attack using manually operated bolt croppers with an arm length of up to 1.070m. Consideration is to be given to the accessibility of the product when fitted.

3.11 Freezing Using one can of freezing agent, from the Sold Secure Tool List, and a hammer, from the Sold Secure Tool List, the product shall withstand a 5 minute attack.

3.12 Any Other Means The examiners reserve the right to carry out any other mechanical test they feel appropriate. If such tests are carried out and the product fails, Sold Secure shall inform the manufacturer of the precise details of the test carried out. Such details shall be provided by Sold Secure in a written report to the manufacturer. Where appropriate, such tests shall be detailed in future revisions of this specification.

3.13 Prescribed Loads and Energies It should be noted that the loads and energies listed above are indicative only. The actual loads and energies applied are those that can be applied by an average, fit adult male.
