Discover how Salto’s newly certified access control solutions meet the highest European standards for security, reliability, and industry compliance.
At Salto, we’re proud to share a major milestone that highlights our continued commitment to quality, innovation, and leadership in access control and security. Our Certification department has successfully secured two important European certifications, demonstrating our expertise in designing top-quality smart access solutions.
These certifications reflect the latest European standards for intrusion alarm systems and electronic access control systems (EACS). They are a crucial part of the homologation process for several of our products – ensuring they meet strict criteria within key industry categories.
These certifications are more than just a technical requirement. They represent a powerful endorsement of product quality and performance, strengthening Salto’s position as a trusted industry leader.
Why these certifications matter
In a market where standards are constantly evolving and customer expectations are higher than ever, certifications like EN 50131-3 and EN 60839-11-1 are increasingly seen as essential. They serve as a mark of trust, especially in sectors where electronic access control must integrate seamlessly with intrusion alarm systems.
In many regions, these certifications are now required by law – particularly in projects where incidents can trigger law enforcement or emergency alerts. In other cases, they are mandatory in tenders across both public and private sectors. For developers, installers, and system administrators, working with certified products is quickly becoming the norm.
Salto’s new certifications explained
Our new certifications fall into two broad categories, including:
- EN 50131-3: An EU standard outlining the requirements for intrusion and hold-up alarm systems (I&HAS) with specific or non-specific wired interconnections, or with wireless connections. These requirements also apply to the components of an I&HAS installed typically on the external structure of a building, such as auxiliary control systems or warning devices.
- EN 60839-11-1: A European standard that covers electronic access control systems (EACS) and components intended for use in security applications for granting access. It also specifies requirements for the registration, identification, and control of data.
Specifically, these certifications apply to several Salto products and solutions:
A competitive advantage in access control
These certifications don’t just reflect compliance with regulations – they signal a higher standard of reliability, durability, and performance. Here’s how that benefits our customers and partners:
- Greater product confidence: Certification provides assurance that products meet strict European standards, covering everything from electromagnetic interference resistance to mechanical and environmental resilience.
- Proven quality control: Certification involves regular factory audits, ensuring consistent production practices and reducing the risk of faulty or non-compliant devices.
- Continuous oversight: Even after initial certification, these products are subject to ongoing review by third-party experts. Users can rely on the fact that any future updates or changes will be closely monitored for compliance and security.
- Reduced risk and higher trust: When security is mission-critical, customers and end users can trust certified systems to perform as promised, even in challenging environments or high-risk situations.
Strengthening market visibility and compliance
For Salto, earning these certifications goes beyond technical achievement. It’s a clear signal to the market that our products are not only innovative but also meet the highest security and quality standards set by independent European bodies.
Access control systems are increasingly integrated with other building technologies, including alarms, CCTV, and emergency response tools. This means the need for interoperable and certified solutions has never been greater. With these certifications, it is easier for our partners to meet complex project requirements, win tenders, and deliver compliant, future-ready installations.
A step forward in product homologation
This achievement also forms part of a broader push for homologation for our most in-demand access control solutions. Each certified product has undergone a rigorous validation process to ensure it meets the highest compliance criteria within its category.
Whether it’s hardware, software, physical credentials, or keyless access solutions like JustIN Mobile, Salto’s certified offerings reflect our comprehensive approach to security – one that spans the entire user experience.
For us, certification isn’t a finish line; it’s part of a continuous journey toward excellence. We invest heavily in product development, testing, and feedback to ensure our solutions not only meet today’s standards but anticipate tomorrow’s needs.
Through close collaboration between our R&D, Manufacturing, and Certification teams, we’re constantly refining our systems to boost durability, cybersecurity, interoperability, and overall user experience. It’s this commitment to continuous improvement that allows Salto to deliver secure, future-ready solutions our clients and partners can rely on.
Responding to market demands for certified security
Meanwhile. the access control industry is evolving rapidly. These changes place a growing emphasis on accountability, performance, and sustainability. Across public and private domains, certified solutions are becoming a key requirement, not only to meet regulatory obligations but also to ensure long-term reliability and user confidence. Increasingly, tenders and large-scale security projects demand certified components that comply with strict technical and safety standards.
At Salto, we recognize that regulatory compliance is more than a checkbox – it’s essential to building trust in our technology. That’s why we’ve embedded the need for certification into our product development and quality assurance process. Every solution undergoes rigorous in-house testing to ensure it not only meets but exceeds the legal standards set by official regulatory bodies.
Beyond the new accreditations we recently obtained, Salto also holds ISO 9001, ISO 14001, and ISO 27001 certifications. They reflect our commitment to consistent product quality, secure data handling, and environmentally responsible operations. These internationally recognised standards help guarantee our partners and clients are working with a brand that prioritises both excellence and ethics. Sustainability also plays a central role. Salto’s Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) offer a transparent look at the ecological impact of our smart locks across their life cycles. By quantifying this data, we empower our clients to make more sustainable choices and ensure future projects align with green building practices.
Looking ahead
This milestone is the result of tireless work by our certification department. They are supported by teams across Salto who are dedicated to maintaining the highest standards in every solution we develop.
As the demand for smarter, safer, and more reliable access solutions grows, Salto will continue leading the way – not just by setting trends in technology, but by building trust through quality, transparency, and certified performance.
We look forward to helping our customers, technology partners, and installers deliver access control solutions that are not only smart and secure, but certified to lead the industry.
