FIRE RESISTANT SAFES – TESTED PROTECTION AGAINST FIRE ACCORDING TO EUROPEAN STANDARDS BY FIRE RESISTANCE CLASSES

LFS30P according to ČSN EN 15659 tested resistance for documents – 30 minutes; the temperature inside the safe must not exceed 175°C at thermal load of 840°C
LFS60P according to ČSN EN 15659 tested resistance for documents – 60 minutes; the temperature inside the safe must not exceed 175°C at thermal load of 840°C
S60P according to ČSN EN 1047-1 tested resistance for documents – 60 minutes; the temperature inside the safe must not exceed 175°C at thermal load of 1100°C
S120P according to ČSN EN 1047-1 tested resistance for documents – 120 minutes; the temperature inside the safe must not exceed 175°C at thermal load of 1100°C
S60DIS according to ČSN EN 1047-1 tested resistance for PC data – 60 minutes; the temperature inside the safe must not exceed 55°C at thermal load of 1100°C
S120DIS according to ČSN EN 1047-1 tested resistance for PC data – 120 minutes; the temperature inside the safe must not exceed 55°C at thermal load of 1100°C

DATA CARRIER SENSITIVITY

One of the most reliable methods of protecting archived data is to store them in specially designed fire-resistant safes that are resistant to the extreme effects of fire, humidity and the effect of magnetic fields. There are many laboratories and experts who deal with data carrier sensitivity and their maximum permissible temperatures, such as the Technical University in Braunschweig or the National Swedish Institute for Material Testing.

We have prepared a chart based on the acquired knowledge that shows the temperature or humidity at which you can lose your data. Neither office furniture, nor regular safes provide corresponding protection of your valuable information in case of fire.
