Graded Security Safes

Our graded safes are rated one of two ways:

1. According to EN 1143-1.
   This is a European standard that lists the requirements to be fulfilled by security safes in order to be given a particular Euro Class grading. During this test the safes are opened completely or partially and the time this takes and the tools required to achieve this are reflected in the grading.
   
   
2. VdS** classification This is an internationally recognized certification awarded by VdS Schadenverhütung* the independent, international, accredited and notified testing and certification institution for physical and electronic protection against intrusion. VdS inspects and certifies products as well as services for the safety and security industry. All procedures follow standards and rules established by VdS in cooperation with the insurance industry and international organizations. The VdS mark of approval stands for quality and reliability wherever safety and security matters.
   
   "Schadenverhütung" is the German word for loss prevention.
   
   
3. Some of the graded safes within the range have also been formally tested for fire resistance of either 60 minutes or 120 minutes.
