High-Security T2 Certified Safes

WHAT T2 CERTIFICATION MEANS FOR CHUBBSAFES PRODUCTS

For Chubbsafes, T2 certification confirms selected high-security safes are tested using the latest generation of burglary tools under EN 1143-1. This means all Chubbsafes products have achieved the highest levels of assurance against burglary within their category, and guarantees any safe, vault or cabinet remains secure under tampering or attack.

Crime, theft and burglary today look different than just 10 years ago. A surprise opportunity or sheer chance has given way to coordinated, targeted and sophisticated attacks using advanced modern tools tactics.

Today’s criminals are able to access much older products in minutes using more efficient and more modern tools in a controlled manner.

T2 burglary tested safes for retail and cash handling businesses are vital to deterring thieves, keeping staff safe and maintaining productivity and profitability. T2 certified high-security safes will withstand the harshest, most creative, and highly sophisticated attacks.

Our ambition is to continue to create products that meet all the latest security standards now and in the future.

One of the biggest changes is the rise in power tool effectiveness and usage. What was once a cumbersome and loud device has now transformed into a compact, flexible and portable piece of equipment, much more effective than when original testing procedures were written.

For the retail sector, including jewelers and those working in vault rooms or in charge of cash management, T2 level testing is crucial as the threat of attack and violence is no longer theoretical, it’s a reality.

ADVANCED TOOLS USED IN T2 BURGLARY TESTING

The difference between T2 and standard burglary certification for safes comes down to the test procedures, the attack tools used and controlled attacks imposed on the product. For T2, only the most advanced tools and technologies are utilised to damage or access the safe. Below we have compiled a list of the latest modern tools.

ELECTRIC CUTTING DISCS

Traditionally, 800 W has been the power rating widely available and used in testing, but now much more effective 1,350 W models are available. The cutting discs themselves are now thinner and more adept at cutting through materials. This is why the upgraded disc cutter is used in T2 testing.

HOLE CUTTERS & CIRCULAR SAWS

Carbide tipped hole cutters and tungsten tipped circular saws are easily obtainable from DIY stores and can be highly effective against old safe designs.

THERMAL LANCES

Thermal lances will heat and melt steel; they’re often used by the film industry for visual effect. However, with permits increasing, thermal lances are far more accessible and can be used quickly and quietly to attack large safes and strong rooms.

IMPACT TOOLS

Impact tools used for breaking concrete are more powerful and consequently more effective when attacking barriers used in safes. One of these tools is an electric building hammer, something that is used continuously throughout testing procedures as it is one of the most common amongst thieves.
