To curtail the potential for danger posed by handling lithium-ion batteries, asecos offers ION-LINE safety storage cabinets as a safe, tested storage and charging solution based on state-of-the-art technology. The ION-LINE has undergone extensive type examination testing. These tests are based on recognised standards relevant to structural fire protection, as well as standardised tests developed by certified testing authorities. These include live fire tests with batteries stored in the cabinet. The certifications summarized in the manufacturer declaration for the CORE, PRO and ULTRA product groups are as follows: SAFETY WITHOUT COMPROMISES During external fire testing, the cabinet to be tested is exposed to flames in a fire chamber according to the uniform temperature time curve (UTTC) pursuant to DIN EN 1363-1. The maximum permitted temperature increase in the interior of the chamber during this test is monitored using a large number of sensors. Safety storage cabinets which pass a 90-minute test are assigned the Type 90 classification in accordance with EN 14470-1. All ION-LINE safety storage cabinets fulfil this condition, and are therefore considered a separate fire compartment. Fire resistance test from outside to inside in accordance with EN 14470-1 tested at: kiwa MPA Dresden GmbH, accredited testing laboratory in accordance with EN ISO/IEC 17025 (D-PL-17819-01-01) EN 14470-1 1 During the fire resistance test, a fire inside the cabinet is simulated through a section cut out of the back of the cabinet. The testing authority uses the external fire curve in accordance with EN 1363-1 as the theoretical basis for carrying out fire testing from the inside. The temperature increase on the outside of the cabinet is measured, and may be a maximum of 180 K. In addition, the cabinet’s capacity to seal off the chamber is evaluated via a cotton ball test. During this test, a highly flammable piece of cotton is held against the outsides of the cabinet and the gap of the door during fire testing. If it does not ignite, the chamber is considered properly sealed. ION-LINE safety storage cabinets fulfil this condition for longer than 90 minutes, certifying that they safely seal off any fire that occurs in the interior. 90-minute fire resistance test from inside to outside tested at: kiwa MPA Dresden GmbH, accredited testing laboratory in accordance with EN ISO/IEC 17025 (D-PL-17819-01-01) EN 1363-1 2
