£17,500 Cash rated

A safe that falls under this cash rating, is also deemed to be able to store up to £175,000 jewellery/valuables. (Subject to your Insurer or Underwriters confirmation).

It is also worth taking note that a £17,500 cash rated safe may or may not be classed as a Euro Grade 2 security safe.

E.G. If the safe has been tested and certified and manufactured under the remit given by the test house, it will have one of two main test house badges located on the back of its door.

Badge 1: ECBS (European Certification board)
Found on tested safes from the Euro Zones and further afield.

Badge 2: LPCP (Loss Prevention Certification Board)
Found on UK manufactured goods and safes.

In addition, both plates will state EN1143-1. This is the European norm for resistance to burglary attack, with various resistance grades up to Grade 10!

Also, the safes fire rating maybe added, together with the safe  Identification serial number.

This is probably the 1st thing to confirm when considering a new £17,500 rated safe.
