Certified Safes
At Arcas Gruber, our Certified Safes are manufactured in one of the most modern European factories, ensuring the highest quality and security standards. Our safes are rigorously tested and certified by APPLUS and ENAC, the leading authorities in burglary and fire-resistant safe certification. Whether you need protection for cash, weapons, sensitive documents or digital media, our certified safes offer the ultimate in peace of mind.
Why Certification Matters
A certified safe guarantees that your security solution has passed independent testing for resistance against forced entry. The European standard UNE EN 1143-1 ensures that safes are subjected to drills, thermal tools, cutting disks, and more. The result: a grade classification from I to XIII, depending on the level of resistance. At Arcas Gruber, we specialize in Grades 3 to 9, which are the most widely required by insurance companies for professional or high-risk uses.
Extensive Range of Certified Safes
Grades 3 to 9: What Do They Mean?
| Grade | Resistance Level | Typical Use |
|---|---|---|
| Grade 3 | Basic commercial protection | Retail, pharmacies |
| Grade 4 | Higher resistance | Cash handling businesses |

| Grade 6 | High-security institutions | Banks, logistics centers |
| Grade 7–9 | Ultra-high protection | Government, defense |
Fire Resistance + Burglary Certification
Many of our certified safes combine fire resistance with anti-theft properties. Models marked with additional certification like EN 1047-1 protect contents for up to 60 or 120 minutes in case of fire. This makes them ideal for storing contracts, deeds, legal files, or hard drives.
Anchoring and Insurance Compliance
Safes under 2,000 kg must be anchored to floors or walls. All Arcas Gruber certified safes are delivered with anchor kits and pre-drilled holes to ensure fast and secure installation. Many insurance providers require Grade 3+ safes for coverage of valuables above a certain threshold.
Who Needs a Certified Safe?
- Jewelry shops and watch retailers
- Pharmacies and clinics handling controlled substances
- Notaries and lawyers storing confidential files
- Banks, ATMs, and armored transport operators
- Businesses with cash registers or POS terminals
FAQs about Certified Safes
What is the difference between a certified and a non-certified safe?
A certified safe has been tested by an independent lab and given a grade based on its resistance to attacks. Non-certified models lack this guarantee.
Is Grade 3 enough for home use?
Yes, Grade 3 offers high security and is ideal for demanding residential users. For commercial use, Grade 4 or higher is recommended.
Are all certified safes fireproof?
No, only those tested for fire resistance under EN 1047-1 or similar standards. Always verify dual certification.
Can I upgrade the lock on a certified safe?
Yes, but only with certified locks. Any modification must preserve the original certification level.
How often should I service a certified safe?
We recommend annual inspections, especially for electronic locks, to maintain reliability and certification validity.
What documentation do I receive?
Each safe is delivered with a certificate of compliance, technical specifications, and installation guidelines.
