and fire-resistance of the safe in question, as well as the fire resistance of the<\/span><\/p>\n

its location (safety level of building and premises).<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]The current standard for breach resistance is EN 1143-1. Standard EN 1143-1 specifies 7 security classes, each corresponding to an insurable amount ranging from \u20ac8,000 to \u20ac300,000. The class is calculated on the basis of a burglar’s resistance unit (RU = Resistant Unit) for a partial break-in (100 x 100 mm opening). For example, a Class I safe can withstand an attack with a chainsaw for at least 15 minutes.<\/span><\/p>\n

A class II safe is 5x more resistant, a class III safe (11x), a class 4 safe (19x) and a class V safe (31x). The choice of safe class will strongly depend on the security level of the building and premises where the safe will be located. In a building with security guards and alarm detection systems, a Class I safe may suffice in a high-security room. To meet the requirements of Interministerial General Instruction No. 1300 for class A “security furniture”, a safe must be at least class IV on the EN 1143-1 scale. Note that safes weighing less than 500kg must be secured to the floor to maintain an adequate level of security. A silent mechanical combination lock with discreet operation or a key lock is recommended. <\/span>recommend.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]In terms of fire resistance, EN1047-1 is the standard used to assess the degree of fire resistance.<\/span><\/p>\n

fire resistance of a safe or strongbox. This standard certifies that in the event of<\/span><\/p>\n

of fire over a defined period, there will be no damage to the goods inside. <\/span><\/p>\n

To meet EN 1047-1 requirements, a box is heated to a precise temperature of 1090\u00b0 over a defined period of 60 or 120 minutes. Immediately after this “cooking”, the trunk undergoes a fall<\/span><\/p>\n

9.15 m on hard ground (stone), simulating a three-storey fall<\/span>.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text]
