International fire safety standards sometimes differ significantly in their test procedures and assessment criteria. Whilst the DIN EN 13501-1 standard is the most widely recognised in Europe, the US standard NFPA 701 is applied in many countries.
To ensure that our international customers can also use our ‘Made in Germany’ fire protection and welding protection products, we have successfully had the fabrics for the following products certified to NFPA 701:
✅Fire limitation blankets for use with electric vehicles and lithium-ion batteries
✅Welding curtains & welding blankets

💡In our latest blog post, we explain the definitions and highlight the key differences you need to know.
