What is a Eurograde (Graded) Safe? Everything You Need to Know

8/7/2024

 
Introduction: When it comes to protecting your valuables, not all safes are created equal. One of the most reliable standards in the industry is the Eurograde safe rating. In this post, we'll explore what Eurograde safes are, why they matter, and how to choose the right one for your needs. We will specifically highlight Dudley Safes, which are tested and certified by the LPCB to EN1143-1 standards and are AiS Approved.

What is a Eurograde Safe? A Eurograde safe is a type of safe that has been tested and certified to meet specific security standards set by European Norm (EN) 1143-1. The grading system ranges from Grade 0 to Grade 5 for Dudley Safes, with higher grades indicating greater resistance to attacks.

Why Eurograde Ratings Matter: Eurograde ratings are crucial for determining the level of protection a safe provides. Insurance companies often use these ratings to set coverage limits for cash and valuables stored within the safe. A higher grade means more robust security and higher insurance coverage.

How Eurograde Safes are Tested: Dudley Safes are tested by the Loss Prevention Certification Board (LPCB) here in the UK to the EN1143-1 standard. The rigorous testing includes resistance to drilling, cutting, and other forms of physical attack. This ensures that the safes meet stringent security criteria.

Benefits of Eurograde Safes:
  • Enhanced security against theft and attacks.
  • Compliance with insurance requirements.
  • Peace of mind knowing your valuables are well-protected.
  • AiS Approval, ensuring that the safes meet the high standards required by insurance companies.

  • Grade 0:

  • Grade 1:

Choosing the Right Eurograde Safe: When selecting a Eurograde safe, consider the value of the items you need to protect, the level of risk, and your insurance requirements. Higher grades offer more protection but may come at a higher cost.

Conclusion: Understanding Eurograde safes can help you make an informed decision about protecting your valuables. Evaluate your security needs and choose a Eurograde safe that offers the right level of protection. Dudley Safes, tested by the LPCB and AiS Approved, provide reliable security solutions for both cash and valuables.

  • What is AiS Approval? AiS Approval indicates that a safe meets the high standards required by the Association of Insurance Surveyors, which can be crucial for insurance purposes.
  • How do I choose the right Eurograde safe for my needs? Consider the value of your items, the risk of theft, and your insurance requirements. Higher grades offer more protection and higher insurance coverage.
