What Is a Euro Grade Safe?
A Euro Grade safe is a burglary-resistant safe that has been independently tested and certified to the BS EN 1143-1 security standard.
The Grade indicates the safe’s level of resistance to attempted physical attack. As the Grade increases, so does the level of security and the typical insurance rating associated with the safe.
Euro Grade safes are commonly used where significant amounts of cash, jewellery or other valuables need to be protected.
Which Euro Grade Safe Do I Need?
The Grade you require will usually depend on the value of the contents being protected and any requirements set by your insurer.
Higher Grades provide increased burglary resistance and are normally associated with higher recommended insurance limits.
If you’re unsure which Grade you need, we can help you select an appropriate safe based on the contents, location and required level of protection.
| Grade | Cash | Valuables |
| Euro Grade 0 | £6,000 | £60,000 |
| Euro Grade 1 | £10,000 | £100,000 |
| Euro Grade 2 | £17,500 | £175,000 |
| Euro Grade 3 | £35,000 | £350,000 |
| Euro Grade 4 | £60,000 | £600,000 |
| Euro Grade 5 | £100,000 | £1,000,000 |
| Euro Grade 6 | £150,000 | £1,500,000 |
Insurance ratings are indicative and should always be confirmed with your insurer.
Euro Grade 0 Safes
Grade 0 safes provide certified burglary resistance for homes and businesses requiring an insurance-rated safe at the entry level of the Euro Grade system.
They are suitable for protecting lower values of cash, jewellery, watches, important documents and other valuables, and can be a good option where a standard security safe is not sufficient.
Typical insurance rating:
£6,000 cash or £60,000 valuables
Grade 0 safes are available in a range of sizes and locking options, making them suitable for residential properties, offices and smaller commercial applications.
Euro Grade 1 Safes
Grade 1 safes provide the first level of certified Euro Grade protection and are suitable for homes and businesses requiring an insurance-rated safe for cash, jewellery and other valuable possessions.
They are commonly used in residential properties, offices and smaller commercial environments where a higher level of burglary resistance is required than a standard security safe can provide.
Typical insurance rating:
£10,000 cash or £100,000 valuables
Grade 1 safes are available in a wide range of sizes and locking configurations, making them a practical choice for protecting jewellery, watches, important documents, cash and other high-value personal or business items.
Euro Grade 2 Safes
Grade 2 safes provide an increased level of certified burglary resistance for customers protecting higher-value contents.
They are well suited to domestic and commercial applications, including higher-value residential properties, retail premises, offices and businesses that regularly hold cash or valuable stock.
Typical insurance rating:
£17,500 cash or £175,000 valuables
With heavier construction and enhanced security compared with Grade 1 models, Grade 2 safes are a strong option where insurers or individual security requirements call for a greater level of protection.
Euro Grade 3 Safes
Grade 3 safes are designed for more demanding applications where a substantial level of burglary resistance is required.
They are commonly specified for higher-value jewellery and watch collections, commercial cash holdings, valuable business assets and premises where the potential loss would be significant.
Typical insurance rating:
£35,000 cash or £350,000 valuables
Grade 3 safes are generally larger, heavier and more heavily reinforced than lower-grade models, so delivery access, positioning and professional installation should be considered carefully.
Euro Grade 4 Safes
Grade 4 safes provide a high level of certified security for significant-value cash, jewellery and other valuable assets.
They are particularly suitable for high-value residential properties, jewellery businesses, luxury retail environments and commercial premises where strong resistance to physical attack is essential.
Typical insurance rating:
£60,000 cash or £600,000 valuables
At this level, safes typically incorporate substantial construction, advanced locking systems and additional security measures designed to withstand more sustained and sophisticated attack.
Euro Grade 5 Safes
Grade 5 safes are designed for very high-security applications where extremely valuable contents need to be protected.
They can be suitable for substantial jewellery and watch collections, precious metals, large cash holdings, high-value commercial assets and other environments where exceptionally strong burglary resistance is required.
Typical insurance rating:
£100,000 cash or £1,000,000 valuables
Their size, weight and construction mean that careful planning is normally required before installation, including consideration of access, floor loading, final positioning and secure anchoring.
Euro Grade 6 Safes
Grade 6 safes represent top level Euro Grade protection and are intended for the most demanding high-security applications.
They are suitable for protecting exceptionally high-value assets, including substantial cash holdings, jewellery, watches, precious metals and specialist commercial or private collections.
Typical insurance rating:
£150,000 cash or £1,500,000 valuables
Grade 6 safes are extremely substantial security products and will often require a detailed site assessment before delivery. Access routes, floor construction, positioning, anchoring and installation requirements should all be considered as part of the specification process.

Euro Grade safes can be used to protect a wide range of valuable contents, including cash, jewellery, watches, precious metals, important documents, business assets and other high-value possessions.

Yes, in some properties, but it will depend on the size and weight of the safe, the access route and the construction of the building.
For heavier or higher-Grade safes, we may need to assess stairs, doorways, floor loading and final positioning before delivery.

Higher-Grade safes may require more sophisticated locking arrangements to meet their certified security level.
