Independently fire tested
September 1st 2004

The Highly Flammable Liquid Petroleum Gases regulations 1972 have been replaced by The Dangerous Substances and Explosive Atmospheres Regulations 2002 (DSEAR). Part of these regulations explain the standards that cabinets and enclosures must meet if they are tested.

Walter Page (Safeways) says it is the first company to independently test flammable liquid storage cabinets to ensure they comply with the regulations.

Cabinets were tested by a leading fire research, testing and consultancy agency using the heating conditions of BS476: Part 20: 1987 and EN1363-1: 1999.

They passed the appropriate test criteria and, after the test, it was ascertained that both sumps in the cabinet were liquid tight and that the doors could be easily opened and closed by hand.

A free, fully detailed catalogue is available from the company.
