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.
