SECURITY PYRAMID

The SECURITY PYRAMID is a special guide for orienting in the range of the FAB brand products providing  various security levels. Four colors differentiate the individual security levels in accordance with standard ČSN P ENV 1627. This standard defines the resistance of the products, e.g. against drilling, lock-picking, ripping out, rough handling, etc. Evaluation and certification of the products are secured by an independent registered test laboratory and certification authority.  The SECURITY PYRAMID facilitates the selection when choosing suitable products fulfilling the required level of securing property.

The SECURITY PYRAMID consists of four security degrees representing various security levels. The FAB brand products are sorted accordingly into four groups based on the certification according to a standard ČSN P ENV 1627. Individual security degrees are differentiated on the product packaging by color and number. The customer immediately finds out which security level the product provides.
