SAFES SPONSORED BY DAVENPORT BURGESS BLUE MARKS ON DOORS & SAFES - A ‘RED CARD’ FOR BURGLARS The ESSA supports the “Burglary Protection Day” – Certified security products are more efficient, was one of the key issues stressed at Burglary Protection Day, organised by the “K-EINBRUCH (K-Einbruch): Prevention by information” initiative held in Frankfurt recently. ESSA, The International Security Association is an official partner of this campaign and urges users to choose ECB•S-certified front doors and safes. Winter time gives burglars more opportunities to exploit poor security under cover of darkness, but ESSA believes that by persuading people to choose certified security products, fewer break-ins will occur. In new buildings and building conversions, burglarresistant doors offer efficient protection. Since 2012, they are also available with the ECB•S certification according to the European Standard EN 1627. ESSA also advises potential buyers of safes to use the blue ECB•S certification mark as an orientation. This test seal granted by European Certification Body (ECB) as a neutral certification body stands for reliable security and quality on the basis of the European Standards EN 11431 and EN 14450. Information about the certified products is also given on the ESSA website: http://www.ecb-s.com/ products Croydon teens taking on
