The term applies to the characteristics of a shutter or aperture that guarantees - with proper use - maximum safety for the user.

According to these characteristics:

• Moving parts should be placed properly in order to be accessible
• Locking mechanisms should be appropriates and functional
• Stopper shutters should be applied in order to avoid unwanted movement due to wind or during cleaning.
• Corners and endings of the shutters should be carefully applied in order to avoid unwanted injuries
• Prevention of erroneous movements , breaking or damage of components.

Home safety has always been one of the most basic needs. In order to fulfill the need for safety, EUROPA, as an innovative industry, has developed specific aluminium systems which are certified with the WK2 and WK3 certifications (now called RC2 and RC3 certifications). The specially designed anti-burglary certification potentiates the level of safety.

WK2 and WK3 Certifications
WK2 and WK3 security are based on specific European standards.

• The door or window is subject to a series of tests in order to verify that if it can withstand a burglary attempt.
• The door or window receives a static load of 300 kgs at any locking point.
• The door or window receives a dynamic load of 30 kgs at various areas on the frame as well as on the glass pane.
• The specialized laboratory personnel attempts to break the door or window with "tools" used by the majority of the burglars: screw drivers, wedges etc. The special anti-burglary series of EUROPA have passed successfully all testing phases, a fact that proves their unnegotiable superiority.
  All tests were carried out in the notified German laboratory Ift Rosenheim.
