To ensure health and asset protection, fire safety regulations are of special importance in a variety of industries, such as aviation, trains, marine, building & construction, elevators, automotive, and e-mobility
Elevators: EN 81-58:2018-05
Building & construction: EN 13501-1
Appliances: UL94
Aviation: FAR 25.853
Trains: EN 45545
Marine: Marine Equipment Directive (MED)

These regulations define precise standards for manufacturing processes and all integrated materials, such as self-adhesive tapes used for demanding mounting applications of various components. The use of flame retardants is an essential part of fire standards, since they can delay or extinguish fire development, and give more time for firefighters to intervene and save lifes and assets.
