BAS-IP Secured by Design: Setting a New Standard in Video Intercom Security

Smart R Distribution is proud to announce that several flagship devices from BAS-IP have been officially accredited by Secured by Design (SBD) – the UK police initiative dedicated to crime prevention through high-quality security standards.

This prestigious certification highlights BAS-IP’s ongoing commitment to innovation, reliability, and public safety. It also reinforces why Smart R continues to champion the brand’s solutions across the security and access control sector.

What is Secured by Design?

Secured by Design is the official police security initiative that works to reduce crime and improve the security of buildings and their surrounding environments. Operated by Police Crime Prevention Initiatives (PCPI), SBD acts as a recognised benchmark for security products that offer robust, tested protection and compliance with stringent crime prevention standards.

For installers, system integrators, and specifiers, SBD-certified products offer peace of mind and meet critical requirements for both new build and retrofit construction projects, ensuring safety from the ground up.

BAS-IP Devices Now Certified by SBD

The following BAS-IP video intercom and entrance panel products, supplied and fully supported by Smart R Distribution, have now been verified as 100% compliant with all SBD requirements:

BAS-IP AA-07FBI
Multi-apartment entrance panel with face recognition and BAS-IP UKEY keyless access support.
BAS-IP AA-14FBIS
Luxury multi-apartment entrance panel featuring a 10.1″ IPS touchscreen and face recognition.

These were tested with both the following products, which have both achieved IASME Level 2. IASME Level 2 is the audited level of the IASME Cyber Assurance scheme (previously known as IASME Governance). It builds on Level 1, which is a self-assessment, by requiring a formal audit of an organisation’s systems and controls by an IASME-certified assessor.

BAS-IP AT-07L
IP indoor video entry phone with integrated camera and a vibrant 7-inch IPS colour touch-screen display.
BAS-IP AZ-07L
Sleek 7-inch IP indoor video phone with Wi-Fi connectivity.

These products are ideal for residential and commercial developments where secure, modern, and user-friendly access control solutions are required. The certification not only proves their resilience against tampering and intrusion but also strengthens their suitability for crime-sensitive environments such as housing associations, mixed-use developments, and local authority projects.
