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.

European Standards

UK Standards

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.

Manual Attack Resistance

Standards and Classifications.

Manual Attack resistance is rated by the European Standard (EN) and Loss Prevention Certification Board (LPCB) with the higher the numerical rating meaning a higher level of protection on offer.

Manual Attack Resistance in accordance with EN 1627 are classified in RC1-6, offering:

Resistance to a static charge (EN 1628)
Resistance to a dynamic charge (EN 1629)
Resistance to manual break-in (EN 1630)

Manual Attack Resistance in accordance with the EN 356 standard is classified as:

Resistance to a static charge (EN 1628)
Resistance to a dynamic charge (EN 1629)
