Security Seal

Re-Useable Tamper Evident Security Seal

Small to large volume single sided to flexible PCB supply via the UK or offshore. Fast turnaround prototype and pre-production service. PCB assembly from small to large batch production, either free issue or full procurement.

Principle

  • The seal mechanism secures a PVC coated multi-strand steel cable threaded through the door catch mechanism, preventing door opening without opening the seal.
  • Closing the seal generates a new random 5 digit security number displayed through a window in the seal casing.
  • Opening the seal scrambles this number to an unreadable condition.
  • The security number displayed after seal closure at despatch, is recorded on the load manifest and should still correspond at point of delivery. Any deviation from the recorded number indicates unauthorised opening of the seal prompting an audit.

Construction

  • The seal mechanism - cable plunger, opening slide and random number display - is housed in a stainless steel case measuring:- 135mm high x 93mm wide x 45mm deep
  • The assembly is bolted, using a stainless steel 4-stud mounting kit, to the exterior of the cargo door.
  • It may be mounted onto Roller Shutter, Thermal Insulated or Dry Goods doors.
  • The seal mechanism is positioned on the door so that, with the cable threaded through the door catch mechanism and the seal closed, the door catch or handle cannot be moved sufficiently to permit door opening without operating the seal.

Structure and Approvals

  • The seal casing is formed from AISI 304 grade stainless steel, resistant to salt mist.
  • The casing encloses the seal mechanism to IP65 - resists water ingress under pressure - and confirms to BSEN 60529. Casing meets Ministry of Defence standard 07-55DI for infiltration of sand and dust particles. The seal mechanism is approved to IEC 68 to withstand:-
Dry Heat IEC 68-2-2 85 degrees centigrade for 16 hours
Cold IEC 68-2-1 -40 degrees centigrade for 16 hours
Damp Heat Cycle    
IEC 68-2-28 Condensation test
Bump IEC 68-2-29 40g's for 6m/secs
Vibration IEC 68-2-36 3Hz - 500Hz + 1mm/10g
