Disaster Protection
A guide to the Kardex Safe Range
It may be hard to fire-proof your office, but it’s easy to
fire-proof your business
The Problem….
If fire devastated your building tomorrow, would your
company’s essential media survive?
Without them you could find it difficult to continue running
your business. What’s more, could you prove the extent of
your losses for a full and speedy insurance settlement?
·
·
·
The Fire Brigade is called out to a fire every 80 seconds.
Commercial fires cost industry £602 million per year, but if
the hidden costs, including lost production, lost orders and
business interruptions are added, the total figure is much
more.
It’s a fact that many companies cease trading after a fire
not because of damage to factories or stock, but due to
mission critical documents being lost.
Protection from fire or theft can be a very important, but often
forgotten, part of good document management. But it’s not
just fire you need to be wary of. A whole range of disasters
including burglary, flood, electrical failure, vandalism and
terrorism puts thousands of companies out of business each
year.
The Solution….
It is therefore vital to ensure that core information is
safeguarded so that if disaster strikes your
company, you can be up and running again with
minimum delay.
It may be impractical to safeguard every piece of
media, but it is essential that the key documents
are protected. With this in mind, Kardex has
developed a complete range of safes to suit every
need.
·
The level of protection required from a safe will
depend on the type of media you want to store.
For example, paper chars at 350o F (177o C), so
lower protection is required than if you are storing
disks, which melt at 125 0 F (52 o C). So before
deciding on a safe, it is important to think about the
media you wish to store.
What is the best way to do this? Follow our
guidelines on choosing the right safe through this
brochure.

Keeping your business safe
The Kardex range has been specially designed to blend into your office environment, whilst
offering point of use protection, not just from fire but burglars, vandalism and floods too. In
order to decide what safe would be best for you, follow our guide to choosing the right safe.
The Kardex range of safes will provide you with a fully comprehensive choice, in order to
meet the demanding needs and requirements of storing media safely and securely,
whatever your requirements.
What type of safe do I need?
There are three basic types of safe available, each designed specifically to protect
against a certain type of threat. The three types are as follows:
Data Media
o Range in performance from one to two hours fire protection
o Available in a range of sizes to allow protection for varying amounts of
media.
o Fully customisable with internal fitments to meet all requirements
Document
o Range in performance from 30 minutes to two hours fire protection
o Filing cabinets, free standing or small units
o Fully customisable with internal fitments to meet all requirements
o Available with key lock or electronic lock options
Cash Safes
o Available in cash ratings up to £10,000
o Varying size options available across the range
o Fire protection of up to 60 minutes for enhanced security.
o Available in both key and electronic lock format.
Cash Rating Explained
The Eurograde is the industry standard cash rating given
to a safe. Generally, the rule of thumb is to multiply the
cash rating by a factor of 5 for commercial use, any by 10
for domestic use. For example, a safe with a £10,000
cash rating installed in a domestic location would have a
nominal valuable rating of £100,000.

Independent Testing – to the highest international
Standards
All Kardex safes have been tested by independent experts in conditions which exceed
what is likely to be faced in even the severest of fires.
Test 1:
A: 1 hour
B: 2 hour
Swedish National Testing and Research Institute – NT Fire 017
The safe is furnace heated to over 1000°C for over 1 hour
(Test 1A), or 2 hours (Test 2B). The burners are extinguished
and the red-hot safe is left for several more hours. During this
time the safe reaches its maximum temperature before starting
to cool naturally. During the test the internal temperature must
not rise by more than 150°C. After the test the safe is
examined by experts to ensure the contents are totally
unaffected.

You can be rest assured that the Kardex Safes that carry the

demanding assessments. The Safes are exerted to different
levels of force and equipment exerted to ensure they are of the

Kardex Safes with this mark will have been put through
rigorous experiments including oxyacetylene torches, diamond

robustness of the safe.

Test 3: A: 1 hour

EN 1047-1 (S60 / S120 DIS) – The
toughest test of all, for the
toughest of safes…
As Kardex Citadel Safes need to
protect vulnerable magnetic media
they are subject to more stringent
tests. They are subjected to furnace
temperatures of over 1000°C for
one hour (Test 3A), or two hours
(Test 3B), sufficient to make the unit
glow bright orange. The safe then
remains in the sealed fire chamber
for several more hours.
In a further test, the safe is heated
to
over
1000°C
and
then
immediately dropped from a height
of over 9 metres onto a layer of
rubble. After this the cabinet is
returned to the fire chamber and
exposed to a temperature of over
900°C and then left for several
more hours.
During the test programme, the
maximum recorded temperature
rise was 28°C (the permitted rise for
data media is 50°C). At no time was
the maximum humidity of 85%
exceeded – sure proof that Kardex
Citadel Safes will protect your vital
media even in the severest of fire
conditions.
But even that is not enough to
satisfy us. Kardex Citadel Safes
have been subject to explosion
tests and have even been
submerged into the River Rhine!
Every time the data media has
remained intact and undamaged.
Safe Range: Kardex Citadel Safes
All dimensions and weights are correct at time of printing. The manufacturer reserves the right to alter the external
appearance and dimensions of safes without prior notice.
