Chubbsafes launches guide on certified storage reviews
Chubbsafes has launched a new technical discussion guide examining when certified storage should be reviewed as the value of jewellery and precious metals rises.
Chubbsafes, part of Gunnebo Safe Storage, developed When Asset Values Rise, Should Storage Be Reviewed? for jewellery retailers, manufacturers, bullion dealers and security professionals. The guide examines the relationship between certified storage, declared asset values and physical security.
The guide highlights how businesses may regularly review insurance, financial performance and operational risk while leaving physical storage unchanged for years. As inventory values rise, it argues that businesses should also review whether existing certified protection remains appropriate.
“Certified storage is specified against a defined level of risk and asset value. When businesses expand, inventory profiles change or insurance requirements are updated, reviewing the original specification helps ensure the level of protection remains appropriate for the assets being secured,” says Mark Brookes, Global Product & Standards Director at Gunnebo Safe Storage.
The guide examines when certified storage should be reviewed as asset values, inventory profiles or insurance requirements change.
What the guide covers
The publication explains the role of EN 1143-1 certification, the introduction of T2 testing against latest power tools and the importance of matching certified protection to declared asset values.
It also considers installation, access control, inventory management, alarm integration and operational procedures as part of the wider physical security environment.
The guide is intended to support discussions between business owners, insurers, security consultants and physical security specialists responsible for protecting high-value assets.
