Burglar resistance classes of armoured doors are a categorization of security fixtures that is established by the rules regime (UNI EN 1627). These rules provide that the door is subjective to a series of tests (UNI EN 1628, UNI EN 1629, UNI EN 1630) that differ in the type of instruments and time used for the break-in attempt. Depending on how the door responds an anti-burglary class is assigned to it. Today in Italy the minimum class accepted for a sucurity door is 3, which lends itself, for example, to condominium flats.
Class 4 is suitable for detached or isolated houses, while class 5 is recommended for attics, jewelers or even panic room.
