Safes with UNE EN 1143-1 Certification: The Gold Standard in Physical Security

In a world where the protection of valuable assets is essential, choosing a Safes with UNE EN 1143-1 Certification ensures maximum defense against burglary and unauthorized access. At Arcas Gruber, we offer a complete range of safes that meet this European standard — a benchmark for security across the industry.

What is UNE EN 1143-1 Certification?

The UNE EN 1143-1 is a European standard that classifies the resistance level of safes, strongboxes, and security cabinets. Products are graded from Grade 1 to Grade IX, with each level indicating increasing resistance to attacks by professional tools such as drills, grinders, and thermal cutting devices.

Testing is conducted by independent laboratories through rigorous assault simulations, ensuring that only truly resistant models receive this certification. The higher the grade, the more time and force are needed to break in — and the higher the insured cash value allowed by most insurance companies.
