Certified safes play a crucial role in the healthcare sector, where the protection of medicines, prescriptions, medical devices, confidential documents and biological materials requires advanced security systems. In private clinics, public hospitals, diagnostic laboratories or research centres, the use of certified safes is essential to safeguard highly sensitive assets.
At Arcas Gruber, we design and manufacture high-security safes tailored to medical environments. All our models are certified according to the UNE EN 1143-1 European standard, ensuring proven resistance against theft, sabotage or unauthorised access, while meeting the regulatory requirements for traceability and secure custody in healthcare systems.
Why Safes Are Essential in Healthcare
Clinics, hospitals and laboratories handle assets that are especially vulnerable, including:
- Cash and medical prescriptions.
- Controlled medications, psychotropic substances and high-value pharmaceuticals.
- Medical records, patient documentation, consent forms and confidential clinical files.
A certified safe ensures that these assets are protected against theft, tampering and unauthorised access, while helping institutions comply with legal, healthcare and insurance requirements.
UNE EN 1143-1 Certification: Guaranteed Security
The UNE EN 1143-1 standard defines resistance grades for safes against different types of attack. In medical settings, we recommend Grade 2 or Grade 3 safes depending on the items to be secured.
Our safes are tested in accredited laboratories and bear an official certification plate, a key requirement for audited medical facilities or those subject to strict internal security protocols.
