BURGLARY RESISTANCE STANDARDS FOR SAFES
When it comes to building a robust and resilient safe, we focus on the materials weโre using and our manufacturing processes. Our mission is to improve barrier materials by improving quality and efficiency to produce slimmer and lighter products. To do this, Chubbsafes production standards and all manufacturing procedures are in line with the conditions stipulated by the ISO certification standards.
FIRE RESISTANCE STANDARDS FOR SAFES
Chubbsafes products undergo exhaustive testing to comply with international fire resistance certification and standards. These tests are built to simulate the conditions of real fires, which means our safes are subjected to extreme temperatures in a controlled environment.
EUROPEAN BURGLARY RESISTANCE STANDARDS AND GRADES
Within European safe security standards such as EN 1143-1, products are evaluated through a comprehensive security framework. To achieve a burglary resistance grade, independent assessors, including accredited bodies such as European Certification Board Security Systems undertake rigorous, standardised testing that measures overall resistance performance under controlled attack conditions, structural and mechanical integrity, and operational reliability within realistic threat scenarios.
This holistic certification methodology ensures the awarded grade reflects the productโs total defensive capability as an integrated security system, providing independently verified assurance of its engineered performance.
Burglary Standards and Grades
| Security Cabinet | EN 14450 | Level S1 and S2 |
| Safes, ATM Safes, Strong Rooms and Vault Doors | EN 1143-1 | From Grade 0 to Grade XIII |
| Deposit Systems | EN 1143-2 | From Grade I to Grade IV |
| High-Security Locks | EN 1300 | From Class A to Class D |
Chubbsafes test and certify solutions to many leading, internationally recognised authorities in which we operate. These include RISE (The Research Institutes of Sweden), SABS (The South African Bureau of Standards) and BIS (Bureau of Indian Standards).
EUROPEAN FIRE RESISTANCE CERTIFICATIONS
When it comes to European fire standards, the certifications will differ based on the function and intended use of certain safes. Fire protection for paper documents and fire protection for digital media will vary due to the temperature at which paper documents (170หC) and data media (50หC) deteriorate.
Fire Protection for Paper Documents
| EN 1047-1 | Document (P or Paper) | S 60 P (1 hour) | S 120 P (2 hours) |
| NT Fireโฏ017 | Document (Paper) | S 60 Paper (1 hour) | S 120 Paper (2 hours) |
| EN 15659 | Document (Paper) | LFS 30 P (ยฝโฏ hour) | LFS 60 P (1 hour) |
Fire Protection for Digital Media
| EN 1047-1 | Digital Media (DIS or Diskette) | S 60 DIS (1 hour) | S 120 DIS (2 hours) |
| NT Fire 017 | Digital Media (DIS or Diskette) | 60 Diskette (1 hour) | 120 Diskette (2 hours) |
HOW SAFE SECURITY STANDARDS AFFECT INSURANCE COVER
It is important to obtain the appropriate safe certification level for insurance approval as it will establish policy terms and determine the value of insurable contents. When youโre compliant with European and American burglary and fire protection standards, youโre proving to the insurer that your assets are safeguarded against forced attacks; without the right safe certification, your insurance cover could be invalidated, or the overall cover may be limited.
Our safes are recognised by security certification organisations and provide the highest levels of protection.
