NEW NSSA INDUSTRY CODE OF PRACTICE RELEASED -
DUAL DIRECTION KNIFE SHEAR TESTING

The NSSA has officially published the Industry Code of Practice (ICP) on Dual Direction Knife Shear Testing - a significant milestone for the Australian Security Screen Industry and the first ICP of its kind in our sector.
This code is voluntary but has received exceptional support with the majority of Australian system suppliers and testing facilities signing up as participants.

WHY THIS MATTERS
Concerns have escalated around quantities of low-quality security mesh entering the Australian market. While some of these products may perform adequately when tested in one direction, they can fail significantly when tested in the opposite direction, exposing consumers to unacceptable risk.

The NSSA Technical Committee identified this gap and worked collaboratively with industry stakeholders to develop a more rigorous and practical testing protocol aligned to real-world conditions. This new Industry Code of Practice ensures security mesh from participating businesses demonstrates genuine cut resistance across both testing directions, providing confidence in their product's performance and compliance.

PARTICIPATING BUSINESSES
Mesh/System Suppliers:
Alutech | Amplimesh | Clearshield | CommandeX | Crimsafe | Doric | Franklyn | Lincoln Sentry | Meshtec | Panther Protect | Prowler Proof | ScreenGuard

Testing Laboratories:
Azuma Design | Capral Aluminium | FGC Laboratories | Meshtec

THE RESULT
Specifiers, builders, fabricators and consumers can now make purchasing decisions with greater confidence, knowing participating businesses are aligned to a higher, independently testing standard.

This initiative highlights the critical role the NSSA plays in strengthening standards, improving transparency, supporting compliance, and helping to protect Australian consumers.

We thank our Technical Committee, participating businesses, and NSSA Industry Partners for their contribution to this important work.

AUSTRALIAN MADE WEEK 18-24

Australian Made Week may be drawing to a close, but our recognition and support for Australian manufacturing across the security screen industry continues every day.

Behind every security screen is a network of local businesses designing, testing and manufacturing products built specifically for Australian conditions, to Australian Standards, backed by Australian quality and expertise.

This week has been a reminder that choosing Australian Made is more than a logo, it’s a commitment to local jobs, stronger industry capability, and long-term product integrity.

The NSSA is proud to work with our Industry Partners and represent our members who continue to set the benchmark for compliance, quality and manufacturing excellence right here in Australia.

Thank you to our members who shared their manufacturing stories this week, and to the customers who continue to choose Australian Made.

COMPLIANCE YOU CAN SEE.

A great example of industry compliance in action from NSSA Member A1 Security Screens Cairns & Cairns Aluminium Services.

When purchasing a security door, look for the Australian Standard AS 5039 Compliance Labels - One for Manufacture and one for Installation.

These labels identify products that have been manufactured in Australia and installed by a professional, in accordance with Australian Standards - giving consumers greater confidence in the quality, performance and installation of their security screens.

AUSTRALIAN MADE WEEK 18-24 MAY
