Fire protection
What do I need a safety storage cabinet for?
When handling hazardous substances, the utmost care is essential. Our technology with maximum fire resistance helps you achieve this. Thanks to their special design, our safety storage cabinets guarantee 90 minutes of fire resistance, type-tested in compliance with DIN EN 14470-1. In the event of a fire, DÜPERTHAL safety storage cabinets with a Type 90 fire resistance rating allow sufficient time for workers to leave the room and allow fire fighters enough time to access the laboratory. All before the flammable substances stored there enable a small, extinguishable fire to become an uncontrollable inferno. The cabinet is tested under fire conditions as standard. Each cabinet model is type-tested in a fire chamber in accordance with DIN EN 14470-1.
