Purpose

We rely on products like safes and lockers for keeping valuables including confidential documents. In the absence of International standards, the chances of providing substandard goods being produced by manufactures to stakeholders are high. So, there is a need for International standards in these areas for safeguarding the valuables of the consumers.

The purpose of this proposed ISO/TC is to elaborate International standards addressing safety aspect of products intended to be used in banks, financial institutions and commercial organizations.
