There are different standards for safe deposit boxes, storage boxes and safes

Safes are gradually entering the homes of ordinary consumers with their special anti-theft insurance functions. But the reporter found in the market yesterday that the merchant actually used the safe deposit box as a safe. The quality supervision department reminds consumers that when purchasing safes, they must recognize the 3C mark and meet the national mandatory standards for safes.

Yesterday, the reporter saw in front of the sales point of the safe box on the first floor of Huaxing Street, a product clearly marked "safe deposit box", the price is 1050 yuan. The merchant claimed to be a safe. On the sixth floor of another large shopping mall, the sales staff introduced a safe deposit box. Asked about the difference between a safe deposit box and a safe, the salesperson said: "It's the same. The safe has 3C certification and the thickness of the steel plate is at least 6 mm. The safe deposit box does not require 3C certification. The steel plate is thinner, but the price of the safe is cheap.

The reporter found that, in addition to the safe deposit box, various private storage boxes, collection boxes, private boxes and other names on the market are also relatively common, with prices ranging from 400-1200 yuan. The price of a real safe is generally over 1,000 yuan.

Are there any differences between safe deposit boxes, storage boxes and safes? Relevant personnel of the Sichuan Quality Supervision Bureau said that safes must meet national mandatory standards, especially in terms of anti-destructive indicators, which have special requirements. However, products such as safe deposit boxes and collection boxes are currently only subject to enterprise standards, and there are no clear anti-theft and insurance requirements in the standards.
