Electrical appliances such as coffee machines, microwaves, or kettles can cause a fire.<\/h2>\n\n

For fire safety reasons, it is therefore necessary, especially in companies, to place these electrical appliances on a fireproof mat. This requirement can be found, among others, in VdS 2000 \u201cFire Protection in the Workplace\u201d (a set of regulations issued by property insurers). While fireproof mats are mandatory for companies, they naturally also make sense in private households. Information regarding the obligation to use fireproof mats in the office can be found, for example, in BGI 562 Fire Protection (page 8), as well as in \u00a78 of the VVB (Ordinance for the Prevention of Fires). Managing directors who ignore this obligation take significant risks.A highly practical and T\u00dcV<\/a>-certified product for use as a fire protection mat for electrical appliances in office kitchens is the FireMat Black Edition. <\/p>\n\n

Managing directors of small and medium-sized enterprises often wonder what such a fireproof mat consists of and where it can be purchased.<\/h3>\n\n

Such a mat is either a plate made of stone, ceramic, glass, or metal, or a mat made of non-combustible special material (FireMat Black Edition<\/a>). <\/p>\n\n

They are available in various sizes. The basic concept of the fireproof mat in terms of fire safety is clear. Should a fire occur in an electrical appliance, the plastic usually melts while burning. This can cause a fire to spread, for example, on a kitchen countertop. Fireproof mats are intended to prevent exactly this circumstance. Naturally, the range of applications is even broader, especially in private households. For instance, such a mat can also be used when using a grill or as protection in front of your fireplace. <\/p>\n\n
