Fire protection tests  

Rosengrens fire-resistant products have been designed to meet the most demanding tests that exist in the world for fire protection.

 

 

Rosengrens datamedia cabinets, document cabinets and filing cabinets undergo highly advanced tests. The cabinets are exposed to extremely strenuous fire tests, fire and drop tests and shock test. In the fire test the cabinet is tested to withstand a situation where the cabinet remains, e.g. at  the centre of a fire for more than 10 hours and still the contents of the cabinet remain intact. In a drop test  the cabinet is tested in a fall of 9 metres through a burning building after which  it continues to be exposed to fire and still the contents of the safe remain intact.

Fire class P, 350 -  paper documents.
Means that the cabinet is tested to protect all paper-based documents against fire. The end temperature must not exceed 175 degrees C. The fire class is stated in 60P, 90P or 120P or in 1H or 2H which means that the contents of  the cabinet remain  intact for 60, 90 or 120 minutes.

Fire class DIS, 125 - data media
Means that the cabinet is tested to protect the most heat- sensitive data media in a fire. The end temperature must not exceed 50 degrees C. The fire class is stated as S60DIS or S120DIS or 1H or 2H which means that the contents in the cabinet remain intact for 60 or 120 minutes.

The certificates in the fire classes are achieved within the norms below.

  • EN 1047-1 - European norm
    The most demanding norm including fire, drop and shock tests. The European norm also stipulates annual  production control.
  • NT Fire 017 - Scandinavian norm
    The norm includes a complete fire test followed by production control with a demand for retesting within five years.
  • UL 72  - American norm
    The norm includes a complete fire test with the possibility of a drop an shock test as an option. The UL norm also stipulates annual  production control.

 

 

 
Through the opening into the oven, a fire-resistant cabinet is exposed to extreme heat in order to pass the fire test.
