• A knife sheer test, simulating an intruder using a knife or cutting pliers to attempt to slash through the screen;
• An impact test, simulating an intruder using body weight to force the door open;
• An anti-jemmy test, simulating an intruder attempting to use a tool to lever the door screen open;
• A pull test, simulating an intruder attempting to pull the screen out;
• A probe test, simulating an intruder forcing a gap in the security screen; and
• A salt spray test, simulating long-term exposure to corrosive elements.
