Physical protection and safety
Increased security threats mean that new demands are placed on the protection of people and critical infrastructure. Personal protective equipment must offer genuine protection against intended threats; buildings must be able to withstand break-ins and ballistic attacks; and security products must be certified according to Swedish and European standards.
RISE is a one-stop partner for all your testing and certification needs in physical protection, from ballistics and burglary protection to personal protective equipment. As an accredited testing and certification body, RISE supports manufacturers throughout the entire process, from product development to CE marking. Manufacturers also have access to secure test environments where even sensitive products can be tested.
