Whether urban, roadside or unattended stations, it is essential to have certified safes that ensure secure cash deposits in full compliance with current regulations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In Europe, the <strong>UNE EN 1143-1:2019<\/strong> standard defines the resistance grades safes must meet. For petrol stations, the minimum requirement is a <strong>Grade 4 certified safe<\/strong>, tested against attacks using mechanical, thermal and electronic tools. This level of security ensures robust protection for cash, documentation and security keys.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At <strong>Arcas Gruber<\/strong>, with over a century of experience in physical security, we offer a complete range of Grade 4 safes specifically designed for the fuel and service station industry.
