This British Standard specifies requirements for the design, installation
and maintenance of electric security fences. This standard is not
intended to cover the installation of any carrier fence or supporting
structure and therefore should be read in conjunction of the appropriate
part of BS 1722 for the type of carrier fence employed.
It is applicable to installations where the electric security fence is to
provide both a deterrent effect and a physical barrier.
It is not intended that this British Standard outlines the specific method
to be used in construction. Construction specifics are covered in the
appointed approved manufacturers installation courses and material
available only to accredited installation dealers and marketing partners.
