Schengen Borders Code Article 6(1)(d)-(e): a non-EU/EEA traveler may be refused entry if an alert for refusal of entry has been issued against them in the Schengen Information System (SIS), or if they are considered a threat to public policy, internal security, public health, or the international relations of any Schengen state. This is a discretionary security/threat assessment, not a fixed conviction or sentence-length trigger.
