Certified safes

Certified safes

There are different levels of security for safes in Europe and around the world. The ECB · S certificates, as well as the certificate for VdS locks (2450), which were created on the basis of the European standard EN 1143-1, give you the guarantee of a certain burglary and fire protection at an appropriate level of security. Safes that comply with these standards are type tested, so consistent quality is guaranteed, which is also subject to regular checks. These cabinets can be identified by the ECBS and IMP label on the inside of the door.

The European Security Systems Association (ESSA) eV is a neutral certification body according to EN 45011. ESSA certifies burglar and fire protection products and high security locks.

ECB · S certification is based on European standards and is recognized worldwide. With the ECB · S certification mark, ESSA guarantees the highest safety functions and offers the user maximum safety when making investment decisions. For the insurance industry, the certification mark is a reliable basis for calculating risks and the corresponding classification of insurance.

Burglary-proof safes certification

The European Certification Body certification process is based on three areas. Working together, they provide the specified product properties in accordance with European standards.

Subsections of the certification process:

●     type test;

●     certification;

●     external quality control.

The ECB • S certification mark confirms that safety products:

●     have been certified by ECB;

●     meet the requirements of the relevant European standard (for example, EN 1143-1, EN 1047-1);

●     produced in accordance with a quality management system, usually in accordance with ISO 9001.

In accordance with its principle: "Quality gives safety", ECB guarantees the highest safety performance in accordance with European standards with the ECB • S certification mark. 

Safes are responsible for protecting jewelry, documents, personal valuables and important memorabilia. They must not only protect against theft and prevent intruders from gaining access to content, but also guard against other dangers. Thus, depending on the type and price range, the safe is fireproof, so fire, heat and smoke cannot damage its contents. The fire protection class indicates the safety of the safe.

Fire resistance certificate for safe

A safe can usually withstand very high temperatures, especially if it is certified for a certain class of fire protection. If the security cabinet is offered as fire resistant, it must also withstand high temperatures of several hundred degrees Celsius. There are also instructions regarding the internal temperature. To keep this temperature lower or significantly lower than the outside temperature, the heat-resistant and fire-resistant safe has double walls. Fire and heat resistant fabric is placed between the two walls and in the doors. In the event of a fire, this is to ensure that the internal temperature does not exceed the permissible values.

There are European directives and standards for the fire resistance of materials, protective cabinets, safes:

●     EN 13501-1 - classification of building products and types of structures according to their behavior in a fire - classification in classes A to F, smoke emission assessment from s1 to s3, classification of burning droplets from d0 to d2;

●     EN 1047-1 - Recommendations for tests in which data cabinets are exposed to fire for one or two hours to determine the degree of protection of the contents;

●     EN 15659 - Fire classification and test methods for lightweight fire protection cabinets - Norms or standards for safes and other safety systems.

In order not only to protect the contents from theft or damage by unauthorized persons, when purchasing, you should also pay attention to the fire resistance class. If the documents stored in the safe are easily flammable or there are flammable media, this is all the more important.
