This First Edition National Standard of Canada has been reaffirmed effective February, 2016. There have been no technical changes made to the Standard.

These requirements cover vault doors and vault modular panels (for use in the construction of vault floors, walls and ceilings), of the type intended for use in financial institutions, commercial, industrial and mercantile properties, and the like, and that are relied upon to protect the contents of enclosed spaces from burglary attack.

Requirements for fire resistant rating of vaults and vault doors are outside the scope of this Standard and should be determined in accordance with Chapter 2 of the Supplement to the National Building Code of Canada or in accordance with ULC/ORD-C72A, Fire Resistance of Prefabricated Structure Supported Vaults.

These requirements are intended to establish the burglary resistant rating of vault doors and modular panels according to the length of time they withstand attack by common mechanical tools, electrical tools, cutting torches, or any combination of these means in the hands of experienced operators.
