What is burglary resistance?

A burglary resistant safe has been specially developed to protect its contents against external attacks. The degree of resistance is determined by the thickness of the metal and the type and number of locks used. Plus other burglary resistant factors which are built into the walls and door of the safe.
 
The degree of burglary resistance is also expressed in the cash and valuables rating of the safe. This rating indicates the value accepted by insurers. The higher the amount, the higher the burglary resistance of the safe.
 
There are various test institutes who test safes according to various European norms. The most important are:
  • EN 1143-1 (Grade 0 to Grade V) 
  • EN 14450 (S1 and S2) 
  • NCP (Safe, Class)
