Responding to growing requests from safety professionals for clarity on the fast-emerging risks linked to lithium batteries in the workplace, asecos Ltd. has released a new whitepaper: ‘Lithium-Ion Batteries – Fire, Explosion and Smoke Hazards You Must Address.’

Safety at the touch of a button: With the SpillGuard® leak detection system, asecos offers a simple and effective solution for detecting leaks of all commonly used liquid hazardous materials at an early stage – before greater damage can occur.
The compact sensor can be retrofitted in seconds in any steel or plastic sump pallet or tray shelf of asecos safety and chemical cabinets – without accessories, cabling or system requirements and with approval for ATEX Zone 0.
As soon as hazardous materials come into contact with the sensor, a visual and acoustic alarm is triggered – for at least 24 hours. Smart, robust sensor technology and a powerful battery (approx. 5-year battery life) ensure long-term, maintenance-free monitoring.

At the asecos headquarters in Gründau, the construction of our new logistics centre has not only created modern infrastructure – it has also created 750 square metres of flowering meadow. The mixture of 50 per cent flowers and 50 per cent grasses (regional seeds for fresh meadows/rich meadows) ensures a diverse and colourful plant world.
Our contribution to the region: the flowering meadow provides a protected habitat for wild bees, butterflies and many other insects, thus strengthening regional biodiversity right on our doorstep.
Because at asecos, we combine innovation with responsibility – and that starts at our headquarters in Gründau.
A glance at our flowering meadow shows that sustainability can be so beautiful.
Two compact days full of valuable insights, the latest information and direct exchange – all about one of the most relevant safety topics of our time.

The asecos ION-LINE ULTRA, our premium safety storage cabinet for storing and charging lithium-ion batteries, is now available with an optional presence sensor.
The ULTRA is the first and so far only safety storage cabinet on the market that is certified for the storage and charging of lithium batteries in accordance with VDMA 24994:2024-08 (Class I/O 90). In addition, the model has been designed and tested in accordance with the requirements of the GS test principle EK5/AK4 22-01 (kiwa MPA Dresden).
People in the door area are detected, the automatic door closing and the acoustic warning signal are delayed – ideal when you are loading or unloading. As soon as the area in front of the door is clear, it closes automatically, providing maximum safety.
Your advantages at a glance:
► Convenient access – hands-free working
► Automatic door closing remains active (additional level of protection)
► Safety + usability without compromise
Hazardous substances are part of everyday life in many industries – but safety is the top priority.
These tips will help you protect people, the environment and your business:
Observe labelling
Always pay attention to hazardous substance symbols and safety data sheets – they provide important information on storage and handling.
Store in accordance with regulations
Use suitable hazardous substance cabinets or safety cabinets in accordance with BS EN 14470-1/-2 for maximum safety.
Personal protective equipment (PPE)
Wear suitable PPE such as gloves, safety goggles or respiratory protection – appropriate for the substance in question.
Safety starts with knowledge – and the right equipment.

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!
