The Asterion Three Star cylinder achieves TS007 Three Star levels, with a BSI Kitemark and Secured By Design, all insurance industry endorsed and accepted security levels. The insurance industry refers to RISCAuthority document S24: Physical security for homes: Guidance for occupiers’ which states the following:
'TS 007 has a top level of '3 Star' (for stand-alone cylinders), and a lower level of ‘1 Star’ for cylinders which must be used with '2 Star' door furniture to provide overall snapping attack resistance comparable with 3 Star rated cylinders. The easiest way to identify TS 007 rated cylinders/door furniture is to look for the BSI 'Kitemark' plus Star rating on products/ packaging.'
