Description
Launched after many months of research, development and testing White Horse’s EV Fire Blanket has been designed, to contain EV (electric vehicle) fires. The EV Fire Blanket by White Horse RD has been extensively tested in real-life EV fire demonstrations and has also been independently certified to a number of international fire and flame resistance standards.
White Horse’s EV (Electric vehicle) Fire Blanket leads the world in proven fire resistance, being the only product of its type to have achieved a CLASS 0 rating to BS476: Part 6:1989 + A1:2009 and Part:1997.
The EV Fire Blanket will also undergo testing against BS476: Part 20 (1.5m x 1.5m furnace test). This will expose the blanket’s fabric to a temperature of 1,000°C (1,832°F) and based on information assimilated from the fabric supplier’s database should retain its integrity for at least 90 minutes.
CLASS 0 - FIRE RESISTANCE RATING G, CLASS 0.:
Standards, which relate to spread of flame and fire
propagation index. When combined, these
demanding tests determined the fire resistance of
the high tec fabric used in the manufacture of the
WHRD EV Fire Blanket.
To achieve a the fabric must
demonstrate limited combustibility and a very low
fire propagation index.
We contracted an independent, world renowned
laboratory who are leaders in testing, inspection
and certification services to achieve this
objective.
HAS ACHIEVED THE HIGHEST FIRE RESISTANCE
RATINGS AGAINST GLOBAL STANDARDS.
Achieving the best possible British Standard for
fire resistance CLASS 0, WHRD's EV Fire Blanket
has been further subjected to ISO
(European) and ASTM (USA) test standards. The
results have yet again shown the Blanket to be the
class leading electric vehicle fire blanket.
ISO EN BS 13501-1:2018 - Classification of Reaction
to fire performance
ASTM D6143 - Vertical Flame Resistance - Best
possible result achieved against this standard.
At the time of publication (Nov 2023) further
testing against FMVSS 302 - Flammability of
Automotive Materials is underway. This is a
technically equivalent standard to ISO 3795
(used in Europe, Canada and Japan) and also ASTM
D5132-04 used in USA.
The EV Fire Blanket will also undergo testing
against BS476: Part 20 (1.5m x 1.5m furnace test).
This will expose the blanket's fabric to a
temperature of 1,000°C (1,832°F) and based
on information assimilated from the fabric
supplier’s database should retain its integrity for
at least 90 minutes.
