CE Certified Flame Retardant Cabinets

CE-certified flame retardant cabinets provide 90-minute fire resistance for safe storage of hazardous and flammable materials, complying with EN 14470-1 standards.

Key Features

Fire Resistance and Certification: CE-certified flame retardant cabinets are tested according to EN 14470-1, ensuring they can withstand fire for up to 90 minutes, giving personnel time to evacuate and firefighters time to respond safely . The fire resistance is verified in specialized fire chambers, measuring the temperature rise inside the cabinet to classify it as Type 30, 60, or 90 . Construction: These cabinets typically feature double-walled steel construction with fire insulation between the sheets, enhancing thermal protection and preventing rapid heat penetration . The interior often includes chemical-resistant plastic trays or steel sump trays to contain spills, with load capacities ranging from 150 kg per tray and collection capacities up to 55 liters . Safety Mechanisms: CE-certified cabinets include self-closing doors, profile cylinder locks, and automatic door closure in case of fire to limit oxygen entry and prevent flame propagation . Some models integrate smoke and temperature detectors, audiovisual alarms, and connections to fire control systems for enhanced safety . Ventilation and Customization: Many cabinets offer intake and exhaust openings, optional fans, and active ventilation systems to prevent accumulation of flammable vapors . Shelves are often adjustable or sliding, allowing customization for different storage needs, including chemical bottles, compressed gas cylinders, or battery charging lockers . Applications: These cabinets are suitable for laboratories, industrial facilities, offices, and outdoor storage of flammable or hazardous materials. They protect both personnel and property by reducing the risk of fire spread and exposure to toxic fumes . Additional Standards: Some cabinets also comply with DIN EN 14470-2 for compressed gas cylinder storage and may meet additional national or international fire safety standards . CE-certified flame retardant cabinets combine robust construction, fire resistance, and safety features to ensure secure storage of hazardous materials while meeting European safety regulations. They are essential for workplaces handling flammable chemicals, batteries, or sensitive materials.
