M.I.B. GmbH of Germany has developed fireproof housings for displays and they have now been certified by the MPA organisation, which tests fireproofing in materials. The housings are available in size from 32″ to 55″ and the protection can mean that displays are more suitable for wayfinding in emergencies. The housings have been tested for 45 minutes, although certification is 30 minutes. The firm also supplies displays with lower ratings, which are described as ‘flame retardent’ because of the materials used.
Most of the firm’s sales, at the moment, are sold in the DACH countries.
