No, I had a good look at it now (it's not bolted to the wall yet as I changed from an old cabinet a while ago but never came around to fix it into place until now). There is absolutely no marking anywhere, front, back, sides, top, or bottem. Not on the inside rim or under the soft furnishings. Maybe it doesn't adhere officially to the standards? Infac's are made in Spain as far as I know (EDIT: yes, here they are: http://www.infac-sl.com/ingles/index.htm Cupboards for Weapons
).
That would probably cause some of the dealers some headache if the Infac's are found to be non-conforming with the new standards. And a lot of shooters would have to change their safes. :mad:0 -

And we've been told that these 'renewals' are to be treated as new applications.In section 2.3, where it says (C) at the top, meaning that if it's a new application, you must fill this bit out.
You've been signed off on seven years ago not continually for seven years. For all the Super knows you've taken an overdose of gamma radiation from computer screens and are no longer capable of knowing the day of the week except it's in hexadecimal.If I've been signed off on for seven years by a Garda Superintendent as being safe to have a firearm under 4(2)(b), what's the point of asking for a character reference?
Fixed that for youAsking dodgy applicants who have already had licences for years to produce character references... 0 -

Mine's an American make - Buffalo River. No kitemark on it either, but it says on their website that it "matches the legislation in many Countries or States" - so that's good enough for me
Seriously though - there are two 7-lever locks on the safe and it's bolted to a concrete block wall, so I can't see the CPO wanting me to detach it to look for a BSI mark. I think the Brattonsound safes are certified. The other commonly found safe is the Infac, may not have the kitemark, but these are usually ok'd by the CPOs as suitable. I'm assuming common sense will prevail
and the CPOs will know which safes are ok (even without the kitemark) and which ones are junk. 0 -

0x04, depending on your encoding scheme.You've been signed off on seven years ago not continually for seven years. For all the Super knows you've taken an overdose of gamma radiation from computer screens and are no longer capable of knowing the day of the week except it's in hexadecimal.
But you're incorrect on that point - the full text of 4(1) is:
(my emphasis, obviously).4.—(1) An issuing person shall not grant a firearm certificate unless he or she is satisfied that the applicant complies with the conditions referred to in subsection (2) and will continue to comply with them during the currency of the certificate.
So the Super should have known about my gamma radiation-induced hexadecimal handicap seven years ago.
Even before it showed up.
What? You're not suggesting that the stupid stuff in the Act only applies to us plebs, are you?
Besides, Section 5.
If they think I'm a problem, let them come say so, not hide behind my mother-in-law's character reference...0 -

You'd hope so, since a safe not made in the UK or Ireland isn't always going to be built to meet a British Standard, and even worse, even if it meets the BS standard it may not have a kitemark (it might have been certified by someone other than BSi Group, who own the kitemark trademark; or it might not have been certified at all).0 -
Hi zara, I was going to ask where you had seen the Buffalo River safes meeting the BS 7558 and I noticed when I quoted you that you had a set of links - thanks These links not visible in ordinary view, though!
I edited the post to put them in, my guess is that you saw the post before I had added them in?0 -

I had the CPO here a few weeks back and he passed my Infac safe as OK on all accounts. And his report was sent to my FO.
So thats good enough for me to tick the box, right or wrong.
And here's a Kitemark for all those without one. Copy and Paste :eek::eek::eek:0 -

Unbolt it, I wish I could :eek: Walls would have to come down I reckon.
My CPO has passed it twice and was very happy when he saw it. He told me that he reckons they are one of the best safes to buy the last time he visited 0 -

Which is for exactly one year after it was issued (at most).But you're incorrect on that point - the full text of 4(1) is:
(my emphasis, obviously).
4.—(1) An issuing person shall not grant a firearm certificate unless he or she is satisfied that the applicant complies with the conditions referred to in subsection (2) and will continue to comply with them during the currency of the certificate.
But he doesn't know if it showed up last year.So the Super should have known about my gamma radiation-induced hexadecimal handicap seven years ago.
Even before it showed up.
But they don't know if there's a problem. They're just asking you and a few friends if there isIf they think I'm a problem, let them come say so, not hide behind my mother-in-law's character reference... 0
