IT security also means protection against explosive attacks
See example of a real test comparison
Criteria of the test:
Test of explosion resistance following EN 13123-2/13124-2.
Test procedure for the protection against high explosives placed near the test object and the resulting shock wave.
Possible classifications:
| Classificaton | Explosive charge (kg) | Distance (m) |
|---|---|---|
| EXR1 | 3 | 5,0 |
| EXR2 | 3 | 3,0 |
| EXR3 | 12 | 5,5 |

Explosion test resistance class EXR2
IT security cabinet GranITe vs. standard cabinet
Upon our request the Federal Insititute for Materials Reseach and Testing performed the following test:
Test of our GranITe-Room vs. standard F90 security room (made of standard F90 sandwich panels).
The result: Only 5 kg TNT are required to destroy the standard F90 cabinet almost completely whereas the hard- and software within the GranITe-Room withstood a detonation with 12 kg TNT.
Test preparation EXR2 with 3 kg TNT.
The explosion / test.
After the test: The intact GranITe and damaged standard room.
Explosion test resistance class EXR3
IT security cabinet GranITe vs. standard cabinet
Test preparation EXR3 with 12 kg TNT.
The explosion / test
Damaged standard cabinets and intact GranITe.
After the explosion test with 12 kg TNT the inside of the security cabinet is completely intact. The IT is running!
The desired certificate
For the first time an IT security room, model GranITe was successfully tested by BAM (German Institute for Material Research and Testing) according to EN 13123-2/13124-2
