This Directive provides the minimum requirements for companies and

establishments that are subject to the supervision of the High Commission for
Industrial Security (HCIS), Ministry of Interior, for security doors used at industrial
facilities.

1.2. Application

This Directive is applicable to all facilities, including new projects, the expansion of
existing facilities, and upgrades. For application to existing facilities, the Operator
shall assess his facilities against the requirements of these Directives and coordinate
with the General Secretariat of the High Commission for Industrial Security (HCIS)
to comply with the Security, Safety, and Fire Protection requirements according to
these Directives and add to or modify the existing facilities as required. Where the
HCIS has assessed deficiencies in existing facilities during a survey, comparing the
current state of the facilities to the requirements of these Directives, those identified
deficiencies shall be corrected by the Operator.

1.3. Conflicts & Deviations

Where implementation of a requirement is unsuitable or impractical, where other

equivalent company or industry Standards and Codes are followed, or where any
conflict exists between this Directive and other company standards and Codes, the
deviations shall be resolved by the HCIS. Deviation lower than the requirements of
this directive shall be listed and submitted in a report of compliance or non-
compliance, with justification and reason, for each applicable requirement of these
security directives, and approval shall be received from the HCIS prior to
implementation. The documents shall be retained by the company in its permanent
engineering files.

4.0. General Requirements

Any facility that houses security systems or is a plant process control room shall
comply with the requirements of this directive for the doors at the facility. Looks for
these doors are specified in SEC-10.

4.1. Door Definitions

The doors covered by this directive are defined as follows:

4.1 . 1 . Entrance Door

Any door leading into an area of a facility where the following

4.1.3. Emergency Exit Door

In order to prevent any weak spots in facility security the
normal requirements of the emergency exit doors, as specified
in NFPA-101 and other appiicable standards, shall be
augmented with increased baliistic protection and blast
protection to maintain the security of the facility perimeter and
retain a common security level for all ingress points.

SEC-09 Security Doors

This section details any special requirements for each door type.
Requirements common to ali doors can be found in section 4.3 of this
directive.

4.2.1. Entrance Door

There are no special requirements for this door type. These

doors need to meet the common requirements stated in section
4.3 of this directive.

4.2.2. Exterior Door

Exterior Doors require blast overpressure resistance as specified

below in addition to meeting the common requirements.

Emergency exit doors generally fall into this category and the
following requirements may also apply to them.

The design blast overpressure shall be determined based on a

building risk assessment study carried out by the Operator.

The door design blast pressure should be specified when

predicted blast pressure exceeds minimum side-on overpressure
of 0.5 psi (pounds per square inch) and/or 1 psi for reflected
over-pressure (door is facing the blast source). Blast
ciassifications based on Low, Moderate, and High response
levels shall be used to specify doors. The Operator shall
conduct a survey to come up with typical or dominant pressures
& impulses values for facilities.

In some instances, facilities with no volatiie elements may not

present any significant blast hazard. This should be confirmed
by the building risk assessment.

Exterior doors shall have bollards or other barrier to prevent a

vehicle fiom ramming the door. Operator shall consider using
additional interior security doors to increase the protection of
the facility.
