Lithium-ion battery cabinets are essential for safely storing and charging modern batteries used in power tools, gardening equipment, and electric bicycles. They protect lives, property, and operations with verified safety – VDMA 24994:2024-08.

Advantages of the VDMA 24994 Standard. The VDMA 24994 standard, developed by the German Mechanical Engineering Industry Association (VDMA) in collaboration with research institutes, insurance companies, and certification bodies (including ESSA and ECB), was published in August 2024. It is the first comprehensive standard specifically designed for fire-resistant cabinets for the storage and charging of lithium-ion batteries.

It covers all critical risks – from internal battery explosions to fire spread between cells or shelves. It is the only true standard developed by safety experts for fire-resistant battery storage cabinets.

MBG Sweden offers battery scoops in different sizes to meet most needs. All scoops are fire rated with protection against internal and external fire for 90 minutes and are equipped with alarm systems that sound an alarm when the internal temperature of the scoop exceeds +50°C.
