What is the highest class of a safe?

According to the European standard EN 1143-1, ECB-S certified safes and strongboxes are classified in resistance classes from 0 to VII.

Most manufacturers produce safes up to class V. Only a few manufacturers produce class VI safes, and only a very limited number manufacture class VII safes.

For safe doors and strongrooms, even higher classes are possible. Under the same standard, these can reach up to class XIII.

The higher the resistance class, the greater the protection against professional burglary methods and the higher the value that can be safely stored in the safe.
