Is AiS Mandatory?

Is AiS Mandatory?

There are multiple things to consider before purchasing a security solution, including whether the safe, vault, cabinet, or door is AiS approved. Here is an introduction to the meaning of AiS and a selection of our products.

What is AiS?

AiS safes have been approved by the British Associated of Insurance Surveyors. This ensures consumers that each product has been rigorously tested and proven to be a high-security solution. As a result of this, people are able to obtain insurance to cover any valuable items stored in their safe, from expensive jewellery to large amounts of cash.

Is AiS Compulsory?

The ‘AiS-Approved Safe’ is a quality assurance badge. It is not compulsory for safes to be approved according to AiS standards, although it does improve the chances of insurance companies covering valuables kept within the safe.

Our AiS-approved security solutions

Here at Associated Security, we offer a range of AiS-approved security solutions. Our insurance-approved safes have been tested according to European Standard testing as outlined in LPS 1193 Issue 4 and to the European Standard for safes EN 1143-1:2015.
