3 Security Gate Types

3.1 Main Gates
The main gate, located in the facility perimeter, provides the main access for pedestrians, light
vehicles or trucks, into an industrial facility. The main gates shall implement all requirements in
this standard as applicable to the FSC and the SRA recommendations.
3.2 Restricted Area/Plant Gate
A Restricted Area/Plant Gate provides access into the facility process or operations area. The
restricted Area/Plant Gate shall implement the full gate components as specified in this standard
for the FSC and SRA recommendations. Where the Restricted Area/Plant gate is preceded by
an outer gate, selected gate components, such as the PIC and the over watch position, may be
merged with the outer gate.
3.3 Service Gates

Service gates is any gate, other than the main gate, such as truck gate, maintenance gate, that
provide limited access function and located on the facility perimeter.
Such a gate when located in the perimeter of a Class 1 or Class 2 area, shall be provided with
all applicable requirements in this standard considering the FSC, the gate function, and the SRA
recommendations.
3.4 Unmanned Gates
Class 1, 2, and 3 facility main gates, plant gates or service gates that are not manned 24/7 shall
have surveillance cameras and intrusion sensors that are activated when the gate is unmanned.
The cameras and sensors shall be monitored at the local Security Control Center (SCC). The
cameras and sensors shall provide the same level of monitoring as the rest of the perimeter,
according to the facility’s FSC.
Subject to ISSD approval, unmanned gates may be provided with Access Control System,
conforming to SAES-O-205 requirements.
3.5 Emergency Gates
3.5.1 Emergency gates in the facility perimeter of facilities with FSC of Class 1 or 2 shall

Emergency gates are normally unmanned and do not require a gatehouse or other
gate buildings.
3.5.2 Concrete jersey barriers or removable bollards shall not be used as anti-vehicle
protection for an Emergency Gate.
3.5.3 Emergency gates shall have the same anti-personnel and anti-vehicle
characteristics, sensors and surveillance as facility perimeter fencing. Emergency
gate in a Class 1 facility shall be protected with an AVB.
3.5.4 Emergency gate opening width shall be at least 5 meter or greater if needed for
operational requirements.
3.5.5 For Class-1, 2 and 3 facilities, emergency gates shall have video surveillance and
active detection sensors to detect any intrusion attempt and annunciate an alarm.

systems specified in SAES-O-205
3.6 Internal separation Gates

An internal separation gate is located to provide access across an internal separation fence as
described in SAES-O-202. Designation of a gate as an internal separation gate is subject to
ISSD approval. Internal separation gates may be manned or unmanned. Internal separation
gates are generally exempted from this standard scope.
4 Security Gate Zones

The security gate as defined in this standard include 3 consecutive area zones.

The approach zone includes the Preliminary inspection Checkpoint (PIC) and Vehicle Approach
Speed Management (VASM).
4.2 Access Control Zone
This is the area immediately in the gatehouse vicinity where vehicles and pedestrians are
screened and permitted or denied entry to the facility. The access control zone includes the
auxiliary gate, the gatehouse, the gate support facilities, the access management area, and the
additional inspection area.
4.3 Response Zone

6.2 Preliminary Inspection Checkpoint (PIC)

The function of the PIC is to conduct a pre-screening/inspection of vehicles/personnel
approaching a Class 1 or Class 2 facility and to ensure they are authorized to access the facility.
It provides early warning to gate personnel of potentially hazardous payloads. PIC is manned by
government forces, typically: Facility Security Forces (FSF).
