FIRE SAFETY REGULATIONS FOR DIGITAL SIGNAGE
Fire protection is also an issue in combination with kiosk systems and terminals. Our models are adapted to the special requirements due to their design.
What makes our devices stand out
Very good fire protection properties
Design, Engineering & Production in Germany
Durable electronic components
Suitable for 24/7 continuous operation
Availability of spare parts for more than 10 years
High energy efficiency
Fire protection monitors for increased fire protection requirements
When buildings are erected, whether hospital, school, restaurant, hotel or trade fair, the subject of fire protection is unavoidable. Architects and engineers must therefore take the currently applicable fire protection regulations into account when planning and equipping buildings.
This applies in particular to areas relevant to fire protection, such as stairwells or escape routes. On the one hand, these must remain accessible in the event of a fire, and on the other hand, no flammable or smoke-gas-emitting materials may be attached or installed in these areas.
These requirements often prevent the installation of standard displays, since monitors are considered electrical components which, in the event of defects, can lead to fire or smoke. Our digital signage products have been adapted to these special requirements. Thus, fire protection and digital signage can be optimally combined.

The fire behaviour of eKiosk devices
The classification of the fire behaviour of building materials is regulated in the European standard EN 13501-1. This standard evaluates individual materials with regard to their fire load and smoke behaviour.
The housings of our devices consist almost exclusively of metal (aluminium, steel) and glass. These materials are considered non-combustible according to the standard, which is why our terminal systems have a very low fire load overall. The housings themselves can even be classified in building material class A1 or A2.
Since our systems can be dismantled at any time, they are also considered “not firmly attached to the building”. There is no test certificate issued by the building authorities for such products. There are therefore no standardised fire protection requirements for these devices.
On request, we will request an expert opinion from an external fire protection expert for your desired model. If you have further requirements or need proof, we can organise this for you, if necessary by involving external experts.

Our references for fire protection projects
Since fire protection plays a major role in every building, our digital signage models and kiosk systems have already convinced in a wide variety of projects.
