The subject of security is a key concern when it comes to buying a safe. After all, a safe is not just a safe: don’t be swayed by the look of a safe before you make your purchase, as the true quality of a safe can’t be seen from the outside. Certified safes feature a sticker on the inside specifying the security level classification. You should also make sure that the safe bears the label of a recognised institute such as the VdS or ECB-S. This is the best way to ensure that it has been tested by a qualified certification body, found to be secure, and given the seal of approval in the form of a quality label.

In this section, we discuss the following points relating to safe security in more detail:

• Safe security levels and resistance grades
• Safe tests
• Safe insurance values
• Burglar alarm systems

Of course you’re thinking about security, but you should also consider the legal framework for safes depending on how you are using them – for example, if you are interested in storing weapons or narcotics.
