12 Mai 2025 001 - ION-LINE PRO and ULTRA now VDMA certified!
We are proud to announce that our ION-LINE PRO and ION-LINE ULTRA models are now certified according to the latest VDMA 24994:2024-08! This certification ensures that our safety cabinets meet the highest requirements for the protection of lithium-ion batteries.
What's new?
• We have integrated the latest test methods according to VDMA, including a real fire test with cylindrical NMC battery cells (cylindrical NMC 8-1-1, or 9-0.5-0.5-Zellen with SOC >98% at the beginning of the test), which created to a thermal runaway – and the cabinets passed!
• All ION-LINE CORE, PRO and ULTRA cabinets now feature new insulated shelves that ensure safe separation of the storage levels. This prevents a battery fire from spreading to neighbouring levels. At the same time, the shelves ensure efficient dissipation of the heat generated during charging and enable rapid smoke detection throughout the cabinet.
The new 3-point locking mechanism provides additional resistance for ION-LINE PRO and ULTRA models in the event of a fire inside the cabinet.
The ION-LINE ULTRA, also GS-tested, is the first and so far only lithium safety cabinet to be awarded the classification I/090 by the certification body ECB – the highest protection class according to VDMA 24994: 2024-08. It thus combines successful testing and certification according to BS EN 14470-1, BS EN 1363, GS test principles and VDMA 24994:2024-08.
Why is this important?
Reliable protection for lithium-ion batteries is crucial, especially in cases of thermal runaway, where temperatures of over 700 °C can occur. Our ION-LINE ULTRA models have achieved the highest protection class I/090 – the only cabinet to date to receive this certification!

Safe storage of flammable paints and solvents for sign making
In practice: Q-LINE safety cabinets at Ernst Wenzelmann Schilderfabrik GmbH
The manufacturer of signs uses safety storage cabinets type 90 from asecos for the storage of flammable paints and solvents. Amongst other things, the sign-making factory decided on the asecos cabinets because they are freely movable:
“We then only need a lifting cart to move the asecos hazardous material cabinets. They can be very easily connected to our central extraction system at any other location in the room by means of a spiral duct. This saves us a great deal of effort and also the approval procedures that would become necessary for building a new paint room.”
Ernst Ludwig Wenzelmann, Managing Director
