Overview
EN 14450:2017+A1:2023 (CEN) is the European standard that defines requirements, classification and test methods for secure cabinets designed to resist burglary. It sets the basis for type-testing and labeling secure storage units intended for lower-risk applications (i.e., products with security resistance below EN 1143‑1). The standard includes Amendment 1 (approved October 2023) and specifies classification levels, permitted attack tools, timing rules and anchoring requirements.
Key topics and technical requirements
- Scope and intent: Applies to “secure cabinets” - lockable units with at least one internal side ≤ 1 m, protecting contents against burglary in lower risk situations. It does not cover fraudulent access testing.
- Classification levels: Two resistance classes:
- S1 - minimum 2.00 SU, tool point limit 40 TP, minimum anchoring strength 20 kN per hole.
- S2 - minimum 5.00 SU, tool point limit 60 TP, minimum anchoring strength 30 kN per hole.
- Locks: Minimum requirement of one lock complying with EN 1300 or EN 17646.
- Tool attack test: Defines permitted tools (mostly hand tools) with assigned tool points and SU/min coefficients. For repeatability, two mains-driven tools are allowed: an electric drill and an electric disc grinder.
- Timing and test metrics: Distinguishes working time (tools actively used) and gross time (total elapsed). Gross attack time limits and procedures are specified to calculate resistance.
- Anchoring strength test: Verifies anchoring assemblies sustain the minimum kN specified for the class. Test equipment capacity requirement updated in the amendment.
- Test specimen and installation: Free-standing, wall and floor cabinets have specific test and encasement requirements; wall/floor units must be encased and installed per manufacturer recommendations during testing.
- Documentation, marking and reporting: Technical documentation (drawings, materials, lock lists, installation instructions) and test reports are required; restrictions on penetrations through protection material (locks, anchoring, limited cable entries) are defined.
Applications and users
Who uses EN 14450:
- Manufacturers of secure cabinets and storage furniture seeking CE/national compliance and market acceptance.
- Test laboratories performing burglary resistance type tests.
- Specifiers and purchasers (retailers, offices, small businesses, hotels, medical practices) selecting cabinets for low-to-medium risk asset protection.
- Security consultants, insurers and installers evaluating suitability, anchoring and installation procedures.
Practical benefits:
- Clear, repeatable test methods to compare products.
- Defined anchoring and lock requirements to improve on-site security.
- Useful for procurement specifications and insurance assessments.

Introduction
Tests are made and the results used to classify resistance to burglary.
The standard covers products meant for purposes where the security resistance required is less
than that measured by EN 1143-1. Normally these products are used in lower risk situations.
!Secure safe cabinets" aim to protect against burglars who typically have no specific
information on the level of resistance offered by construction and are not prepared to take high
risks. The burglar attempts to gain access to the cabinet using simple tools which they normally
bring to access premises. To reflect this limitation the tools permitted in the type tests of this
standard are mostly manual tools (“hand tools”).
However for purpose of repeatability two mains driven tools are included:
— electric drill (to eliminate power loss to battery state);
— electric disc grinder (represents and replaces hammer and chisel testing to eliminate tester's
fatigue and risk of injury especially in respect of the test conditions by counting the gross
time).
Depending on the criminal, the conditions at the place of crime and the availability of tools,
considerably longer times are likely to occur in real burglar attacks than in a type test.
It should be noted that results of manual testing are dependent of the skills of the testing team. It
is therefore recommended that testing teams exchange skills and experience on a regular basis.
There is no requirement under this standard to test for resistance to fraudulent access.
