All UK Insurance Companies Approve AIS labelled safes. AIS Approved safes are safes that have been approved by the British Association of Insurance Surveyors and therefore the test certificates held by these safes are accepted by all UK Insurance companies as being genuine and an accurate reflection of the security and insurance value rating. They offer a wide range of insurance cash ratings from £4000 upwards and are suitable for the storage of jewellery, watches and other valuables that have insurable values from £40,000 up to £350,000.

Safes that are AIS (Association of Insurance Surveyors) approved must have an accredited security test certificate and this certicatation plate is always fitted to the back of the door. There are essentially three approved test certificates - EN 14450, EN 1143-1 and EN1143-2. The EN14450 test is in two grades S1 and S2 and is mainly covering budget and medium security safes for the home with an insurance cash ratings of £2000 or £4000, while the two EN1143 certificates are for eurograde tests for standard high security safes and the same with deposit options respectively with insurance cash ratings from £6000 up to £250,000. All cash ratings should multiplied by 10 to obtain the valuables insurance rating as approved by AIS.
