One of people’s top priorities is to protect their private homes. In order to meet this need, the German Institute for Standardization DIN, offers a comprehensive set of regulations in burglar-proof protection field.

For more than 20 years, DIN CERTCO provides certificates concerning burglar-resistant construction elements according to the specific standards. Manufacturers and suppliers can apply for this certification scheme free willing.

Nowadays, the DIN mark for safety techniques products is a significant decision criterion for customers and suppliers.

We offer the label “DIN-Geprüft einbruchhemmend” (DIN-Tested burglar-resistant) for the following safety products:

The mark „DIN-Geprüft einbruchhemmend“ is the quality proof, which implies that the product entirely complies with the recommended standards, and the manufacturer is subjected to an independent and regular monitoring. This certification mark creates confidence to the customer that an independent, neutral and competent body has carefully examined and evaluated the test criteria.

Here you can find an up-to-date list of all approved certificate holders for burglar-resistant products.

In order to make their houses safe, the customers trust the products, which are recommended and listed by the police in the so called manufacturer directories for tested and certified burglar-resistant products. They are published on behalf of the Central Office of the Commission for Criminal Prevention (KPK), by the Bavarian State Bureau for Criminal Investigation (BLKA).

The directories include manufacturers whose products were successfully tested in accordance with the standard and were certified by an accredited certification body. The consistently high quality of the products is regularly monitored by third parties. Your data are submitted to the BLKA twice a year. That's how consumers will find out about you.

DIN CERTCO guides you through the process and will register you and your certified products in the relevant manufacturer directory.

Our mark creates trust.
