Fire Retardant Batteries
The Safety Centre are pleased to introduce the range of fire retardent batteries to our product portfolio.
It is crucial that fire professionals and fire businesses must stay abreast of the latest developments in fire safety. The Low Voltage Directive (2014/35/EU) is an essential piece of legislation that brings into focus the need for fire retardant batteries.
When installing batteries in the CIE installer/maintenance technicians should confirm with their suppliers any flammability requirements for the batteries to be used.
When confirmed, batteries with a suitable flammability rating should be installed.
Note: The use of flame-retardant batteries (e.g., UL 94 V2 or higher) where they are not required may be preferable if the EN 54-4 approval does not preclude their use.
