You Are a Manufacturer of Access Control Systems and Wish to Demonstrate the Performance of Your Products?

A physical access control system (ACS) is intended to filter flows of people who wish to enter a zone. It consists of means enabling the authorization of entries and, where applicable, exits from these zones only to persons who are entitled to access them.

An ACS can be broken down into different functions. Each of these ensures user identification, data and control processing, locking and unlocking of access points.

Our expert engineers have drafted a technical specification that defines the requirements and test methods related to access control systems.

This specification allows access control systems to be classified into four security levels corresponding to their capacities to resist penetration of the controlled area by logical attacks:

• Security Level 1: Unintentional or curious penetrations (without preparation).
• Security Level 2: Premeditated penetrations by lightly equipped individuals.
• Security Level 3: Premeditated penetrations by trained and equipped individuals.
• Security Level 4: Premeditated penetrations by trained, heavily equipped, and well-informed individuals.

These four security levels are listed in the CNPP APSAD D83 – Access Control – Technical Document for design and installation, consistent with the resistance levels to logical attacks defined in the ANSSI recommendations on securing access control systems of March 2020.

The evaluation of an ACS for conformity against this technical specification enables verification of the functional requirements, reliability requirements, and requirements related to robustness against logical attacks in accordance with referenced documents.

• The ANSSI guide defining recommendations on securing physical access control systems, March 2020.
• The APSAD D83 technical document for the design and installation of access control systems.
• IEC 60839-11-1 – Electronic access control systems – system requirements and requirements for components.
• The APSAD D32 technical document for the installation of security or safety systems on an IT network.
• The CNPP technical specification ST LPMES DEC 17 04 “Connected Objects – requirements and test method”.
