New Document Summary Sheet
Subject:
UFC 4-022-01, Security Engineering: Entry Control Facilities/Access Control
Points
Cancels: Naval Facilities Engineering Command (NAVFAC) Interim Technical
Guidance (ITG) FY03-03, Entry Control Facilities, 20 FEB 2003
Document Description and Need:
Purpose: This UFC presents a unified approach to the design of Entry Control
Facilities (ECFs). The term "Entry Control Facilities" encompasses the overall
layout, organization, infrastructure, and facilities of an entry control point or
access control point. ECF is synonymous with the term Access Control Point
(ACP) used in some Service publications. This UFC identifies design features
necessary to ensure that infrastructure constructed today will have the flexibility
to support future technologies, a changing threat environment, and changes in
operations.
Application and Use: Commanders, security personnel, planners, designers,
architects, and engineers should use this UFC when designing primary and
secondary ECFs of an installation. A limited-use ECF, which is open only
occasionally, may not require the same level of infrastructure. Technical
information considered generally known to professional designers, architects, or
engineers or readily available in existing technical references (Unified Facility
Criteria, Military Handbooks, Technical Manuals, etc.) has not been included.
Need: This UFC is one of a series of security engineering Unified Facilities
Criteria that cover minimum standards, planning, preliminary design, and detailed
design for security and antiterrorism. The manuals in this series are designed to
be used sequentially by a diverse audience to facilitate development of projects
throughout the design cycle. The manuals in this series include the following:
o DoD Minimum Antiterrorism Standards for Buildings.
o Security Engineering Facilities Planning Manual.
o Security Engineering Facilities Design Manual.
o Security Engineering Support Manuals.
UFC 4-022-01 falls into the category of an "engineering support manual".
Impact:
Creates a single source reference for the design of entry control facilities and
access control points for DoD installations.
Entry control facilities ensure the proper level of access control for all DOD
personnel, visitors, and commercial traffic to an installation. The objective of an
ECF is to secure the installation from unauthorized access and intercept
contraband (weapons, explosives, drugs, classified material, etc.) while
maximizing vehicular traffic flow. Design considerations, in order of priority, are:
Security, Safety, Capacity, and Image.
