Unfortunately the security ratings system is pretty much useless, because all that's tested is how many seconds it takes to cut through a locking system using power tools. E.g. one U-lock is rated "10" because it takes 3 minutes to cut through it with an angle grinder and another rated "8" because it takes 1.5 minutes to cut through it with an angle grinder. You don't get any info on what kinds of attacks it can totally withstand, maybe withstand, definitely not withstand.
