Asecos cabinets for vastly superior protection over single or double wall steel cabinets to BS 476

Asecos cabinets are designed and built to comply with BS EN 14470-1, and offer vastly superior protection over single or double wall steel cabinets to BS 476.

These cabinets minimise the risks associated with storing flammable substances by protecting the contents for a tested length of time. Consideration has been given to the time required not only for personnel to leave the area in the case of a fire, but also to emergency services response times.

Fire resistance is defined as the time taken for the temperature inside a cabinet to increase by 180K at any measured internal point. As a result, each cabinet is classified as Type 30 or Type 90. During the design process, all cabinets offered by Asecos have been fully tested in accordance with BS EN 14770-1, and certified by an independent materials testing institute.

The range includes:

G-Line Gas Cylinder Cabinets for the storage of pressurised gas cylinders in working areas according to EN 14470-2 and TRGS 510, and unique on the market, the gas cylinder cabinet with a 60cm width for the storage of two 50 litre steel gas cylinders, or two 40 litre aluminium gas cylinders with a diameter of 230mm.

UB-Line GS-tested safety storage under-bench cabinets for unrestricted storage of flammable hazardous materials in work areas in accordance with EN 14470-1 and TRGS 510, with a fire resistance of 90 (Type 90) or 30 (Type 30) minutes.

S-Line GS-tested safety storage cabinets for unrestricted storage of flammable hazardous materials in work areas in accordance with EN 14470-1 and TRGS 510, with a fire resistance of 90 (Type 90) or 30 (Type 30) minutes.

V-Line safety storage cabinets with vertical drawers for unrestricted storage of flammable hazardous materials in working areas according to EN 14470-1, with a type-tested fire resistance of 90 minutes (Type 90).
