European Accredited Burglary Resistance Certification For Safes |
Accredited European certification of burglary resistance for a safe is an essential legal proof of standard to maintain your insurance cover long term. EU Parliament regulation 765/2008 created the system that provides the legal basis of accreditation for the certification of safes to European standard EN1143-1. European accredited burglary resistance certification for safes is backed by regular auditing, market surveillance and is verifiable, proof of standard for both insurance and litigation purposes. A safe with properly accredited European certification will display at least one stamped metal certification plate on the inside of the door. This will always be displayed on a stamped metal plate, never a sticker.
If you consider that 70% of safes tested for burglary resistance by accredited European testing labs fail on the first attempt the implications of accepting unaccredited claims of burglary or fire resistance are obvious.
An accredited certification plate for a safe will display the logo of an accredited certification body, burglary resistance grade and most importantly confirmation that the certification body is accredited to ISO/IEC 17065, legal assurance that the certifier is accredited under European law. The same information will be available on accredited certification documents which are freely available and should always be asked for.
 Safes bearing LPCB "certification" are regularly sold in Ireland despite the fact that the Loss Prevention Certification Board (LPCB) (UK) has never been an accredited to certify burglary resistance of safes. An LPCB plate can easily be mistaken for an accredited certification mark as the format of these plates is very similar to that of accredited certification bodies and will often reference European standards, however, an ISO/IEC17065 accreditation which will be present on an accredited certification plate is missing on LPCB plates. |

Description
Wittkopp Primor (Level 5)
The Wittkopp Primor (Level 5) is a rugged direct drive blocking device. Lock bolt retraction and extension is controlled by rotation of the keypad bezel following code entry. Manual bolt retraction and extension offers exceptional reliability, and allows direct attachments to the lock bolt without fear of compromising the drive mechanism.
The Wittkopp Primor (Level 5) lock cable is protected in a specially designed channel in the extruded aluminum spindle that connects the keypad to the lock body.
The advanced design resists twisting and chafing in day-to-day operation.
External battery placement puts the battery inside the keypad, where it can be easily replaced, even with the safe locked and efficient lock design means the battery must be changed significantly less often.
