EN 1143-1 – Secure Storage Units (Burglary Resistance)

European standard family: secure storage units — resistance to burglary (scope and classes depend on the published part; commonly referenced edition EN 1143-1:2012 for classification and test methods).

EN 1143-1 addresses secure storage products: strongrooms, strongroom doors, vault doors, and related interconnecting assemblies — not the same product family as pedestrian burglar-resistant doorsets classified under EN 1627 (RC1–RC6). A specifier may require Class II (or another class) under EN 1143-1 for cash-handling, banking, or high-value storage zones, where an RC-rated doorset alone is not the referenced standard.

Secure-storage doorset certified to EN 1143-1 Class II — specification, locks to EN 12209 / EN 1300, and performance data on the product page.

Why this matters on site

  • EN 1627 RC = classification for windows, doors, curtain walling, grilles, and shutters as building elements.
  • EN 1143-1 = classification for secure storage constructions (strongroom / vault-type logic).
  • Insurance, central banks, or national rules may reference one or the other — always match the contract specification and the certificate for the exact doorset supplied.

Typical applications (Class II and adjacent classes)

  • Medium-security bank and financial back-office zones
  • Cash handling and valuables storage where the specification calls for secure-storage burglary classes
  • Strongroom-type doors linked to physical security planning (often alongside lock standards — see below)

Hardware often specified with EN 1143-1 doorsets

Multipoint mechanical locks are commonly specified to EN 12209 (e.g. security grade for multipoint locks). Additional high-security cylinders or lock cases may be specified to EN 1300 (high-security locks for use in secure storage units).
