Additionally, it features a sleek and modern fascia, an ergonomically designed round handle for superior grip, and a luxurious leather mat to elevate your interiors. The Defender Aurum Pro Class E safe, is a perfect combination of style and uncompromising protection.
Speaking at the launch, Mr. Percy Master, National Head – Sales & Marketing (Institutional & Retail) of the Security Solutions business of Godrej & Boyce, remarked, “At Godrej & Boyce, we believe that security is not just about safeguarding possessions—it’s about ensuring peace of mind and the happiness that comes by, knowing that our valuables are protected. With the introduction of the Defender Aurum Pro Class E Safe, we are addressing the evolving security needs of jewellers in India. We have worked closely with regulators to understand and grasp industry requirements and ensure that this new Safe complies with all necessary standards. Designed to withstand contemporary threats, it also maintains a competitive price point, offering an optimal balance of security and affordability.
Through the QCO, Government of India has mandated that all the High-Security Safes manufactured as well as sold in India should necessarily have the hallmark of Quality i.e. the BIS Label. It is the responsibility of the Seller to adhere to this QCO. This regulation means that buyers will get high quality products from all suppliers, thus ensuring that security is not compromised. Customers need to be sensitised of this development and ask for a BIS labelled High Security Safe complying to the IS-550 Standard. This regulation empowers Jewellers to access high-quality Safes from all suppliers, with Godrej taking a leadership role in this initiative. This ensures that security remains a top priority throughout the process.
