The Euralarm guideline on Integrated fire protection solutions for lithium-ion batteries was published earlier this year and provides information on the issues related to the use of lithium-ion batteries, how fires start in batteries and on how they may be detected, controlled, suppressed and extinguished. It also provides guidance on post fire management. Excluded from the scope are explosion and ventilation issues.

The document is intended as guidance for all professionals dealing with fire safety, fire protection, extinguishing and fire suppression in connection with the use, storage or transport of lithium-ion batteries and their fire risks. Aspects of consumers products are not covered in this guidance.

The webinar about the Guidance Document on Integrated fire protection solutions for lithium-ion batteries will be held on Thursday 20 October, starting at 15:00 CET.
