The first question is what is being stored. Cabinets for flammables, corrosives, gas cylinders and lithium batteries differ in internal material and construction and cannot substitute for one another.
The second is the certification scheme. Justrite follows the US FM / NFPA 30 route; asecos follows EN 14470-1, which defines fire-resistance classes (Type 30/60/90). Which standard you are held to determines the choice, so check your internal safety rules or permit requirements first.
Lithium battery storage is an area where requirements are tightening fast. A general flammable cabinet does not cover it; a dedicated cabinet designed around thermal runaway is required.
Cabinet type by stored material
| Stored material | Cabinet type | What to check |
|---|---|---|
| Flammable solvents | Flammable safety cabinet | Fire class (Type 30/60/90), capacity |
| Acids and alkalis | Corrosive storage cabinet | Internal lining, exhaust connection |
| Gas cylinders | Gas cylinder cabinet | Cylinder count, restraint |
| Lithium batteries | Battery storage cabinet | Charging capability, thermal runaway |

FAQ
Frequently asked
Is an exhaust connection required?
It depends on the location and contents. Highly volatile materials need either ducted exhaust or a recirculating filtered unit. Where ductwork is impractical, a filtered exhaust module is the usual answer.
Self-closing or manual doors?
Many safety codes require doors that close automatically in a fire. Where frequent access is needed, hold-open doors that release and close on fire detection are the practical choice.
Do you support delivery and installation?
Large cabinets can exceed 400kg, so the access route matters. Tell us the floor and lift dimensions and we will plan the delivery with you.
