Coffee machines generate heat and can potentially cause fires, especially if they are not properly maintained.

A fireproof mat can help catch sparks or falling parts and prevent them from igniting the material beneath the coffee machine.

Some employers and insurance companies recommend or require the use of fireproof mats under electrical appliances such as coffee machines and toasters to minimize potential fire hazards. It is also important to ensure that the coffee machine is placed on a stable and level surface to prevent it from tipping over and causing damage.

Please observe the following regulations when using electrical appliances in everyday office life:

VdS 2000, VdS 2015, VdS 2046, VDE 0105-100:2015-10, and the Industrial Safety Ordinance 201

In VdS 2015, the Information Sheet for “Electrical Devices and Systems,” Section 2.4 states that stoves, cookers, and power supplies for smartphones or laptops must always be used and positioned in such a way that they do not pose a fire hazard to the surroundings. For this reason, our fire protection mat should always be used for this purpose. Furthermore, they may only be set up and used at a suitable distance from various flammable objects.

The FireMat fire protection mats are TÜV SÜD CERTIFIED ACCORDING TO DIN EN ISO 11925-2
