ECB-S

Security safes are tested to European Standards (EN 1143-1) by some of the leading testing houses in Europe. These standards are based on attack testing which simulate modern burglary techniques.

Sold Secure

Sold Secure is a certification scheme, based on attack testing, set up by the Police with the help of the Home Office. It is administered by the Master Locksmiths Association, which works closely with Police and insurance companies.

Sold Secure have three security grades/categories.

BRONZE - Products
Offering theft resistance against the basic tool list (aimed at preventing opportunist crime)

SILVER - Products
Offering theft resistance against enhanced tool list (aimed at preventing more determined attacks)

GOLD - Products - Highest Approval
Offering theft resistance against the full tool list (aimed at preventing dedicated attacks)

A Sold Secure approved product has successfully withstood twelve different attack methods of five minutes each before being awarded its certificate.  The average thief will give up after two and a half minutes because of risk of discovery

 

The Thatcham Institute for Vehicle Security is recognised by insurers as the UK’s leading tester of vehicle security products.

Products with the Thatcham label have been demonstrated to comply with The British Insurance Industry’s Criteria for Vehicle Security - the toughest set of standards ever to be applied to motorcycle locks and alarm/immobilisers.

As a result, many insurance companies offer significant discounts to those who use these Thatcham Approved Products.
