Testing A Chubb Safe

All our tested ChubbSafes products are independently certified by approved testing laboratories for security or fire protection, complying with the latest industry standards. There are a number of certification levels applicable and upon passing, products are awarded the relevant security grade or fire rating.

Choosing a chubb safe with a test certificate from a recognised testing authority ensures you’re getting the best protection available.
