Industry leading protection.

We test our products for manual attack, bullet, blast, and fire resistance at varying certification levels, each offering a different level of protection. Our page offers in-depth information on industry certification standards to help you make informed decisions about our products.

We’re committed to providing the expertise and knowledge you need to select the ideal protection level for your requirements.

Manual Attack

Manual attack protection is measured against sustained attack by professional invaders using a variety of tools such as drills, hammers, and crowbars.

Bullet Attack

Safetell’s wide range of solutions are always fully-tested to the requirements of your security strategy, matching your exacting needs.

Blast

We measure the impact, damage, and structural deformation caused by a blast to ensure that the products provide the required level of protection.

Fire

Fire Resistance is rated slightly differently to standard survivability testing of ballistic and blast, with time measurements.

Bullet Attack Resistance

Standards and Classifications.

While some companies often cite their own standards due to in-house testing or similar, it’s always important to find out or request how the testing fits into the widely-accepted EN standards. Safetell’s wide range of solutions are always fully-tested to the requirements of your security strategy, allowing for specialised products to specially constructed to match your exacting needs, as specified by a security auditor.
