Secure storage units – Requirements, classification and methods of test for resistance
The safes are attacked in the test using various tools. Calculations are made in the examples listed below as to how long a tester has to partially break through using a cutting disc. If this time is exceeded, then this part of the test is passed.
| Resistance grade | Partial breakthrough requirement |
Minus base value |
Residual value |
Resistance | WALDIS model range |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| I | 30 RU | -25 RU | 5 RU | 1x | – |
| II | 50 RU | -25 RU | 25 RU | 5x | Eco |
| III | 80 RU | -25 RU | 55 RU | 11x | Business |
| IV | 120 RU | -25 RU | 95 RU | 19x | First |
| V | 180 RU | -25 RU | 155 RU | 31x | Premium |
In conclusion,
a burglar requires 31 times longer for a partial breakthrough (opening of 100 x 100 mm) for an EN V safe than he/she does for an EN I safe.
