Safes are certified in grades in accordance with the EN 1143-1 burglary protection standards. While there are lower grades in manufacture (from 0-III), the grades listed below are those that apply to the protection of concentrated values (above $300,000) in commercial environments.

High Security Burglary Certifications: Grades IV, V, and VI EN 1143-1 (ECB•S)
