UL Underwriters' Laboratories (UL) - UL is a
non-profit, non-bias agency that tests and rates
the safety and performance of consumer products.
Safes that have earned specific UL ratings will
carry a UL label which designates the product's
security and fire-protection ratings.
• Net Working Time - This is the UL term
for testing time which is spent trying to break
into a safe using tools such as diamond grinding
wheels, high-speed drills with pressure applying
devices, or common hand tools such as hammers,
chisels, saws, and carbide-tip drills. If a
safe has been rated with a 30-minute net working
time, (TL30), the rating certifies that the
safe successfully withstood a full 30 minutes
of attack time with a range of tools.
• Theft resistant - This rating means
the safe provides a combination lock and minimal
theft protection.
• Residential Security Container rating
(RSC) - This UL rating is based on testing conducted
for a net working time of five minutes, on all
sides, with a range of tools.
• TL-15 rating - The TL-15 rating means
the safe has been tested for a net working time
of 15 minutes using high speed drills, saws
and other sophisticated penetrating equipment.
• TL-30 rating - A product carrying the
TL-30 security label has been tested for a net
working time of 30 minutes with the same types
of tools mentioned above.
• TL-30 x 6 - The TL-30 (30-minute) test
is conducted on all six (6) sides of the safe.
• TRTL-30 - The TRTL rating designates
a safe which successfully resisted 30 minutes
of net working time with a torch and a range
of tools which might include high speed drills
and saws with carbide bits, pry bars, and other
impact devices. |
