Labtex claims that cabinets designed to comply with BS EN 14470-1 offer better protection over single or double wall steel cabinets.
According to the company, these cabinets minimise the risks associated with storing flammable substances by protecting the contents for a known and tested length of time.
For instance, consideration has been given to the time required not only for personnel to leave the room in the case of a fire, but also for the emergency services to gain access to the workplace before stored flammable materials contribute to an uncontrollable blaze.
As a result each cabinet can be classified as Type 15, 30, 60 or type 90, depending on its fire resistance.
During the design process all cabinets offered by Labtex have been tested in accordance with BS EN 14770-1 and certified by an independent materials testing institute.
Cabinets from the group are available in numerous sizes and configurations with folding doors, wing doors, shelves, drawers.
