Flammable Storage Cabinets
(80 Article in 467 versions)Under COSHH regulations, safety is a legal duty. And because the rules around flammable liquids can feel like a maze, DENIOS cabinets are built to give you something far more valuable than storage: certainty. You know the chemicals are contained, fire-tested, and handled in a way that stands up to scrutiny from insurers, auditors and regulators alike.

Type 30 and Type 90 Flammable Storage Cabinets
Most people fall into one of two groups. You either need 30-minute protection for low-volume or low-risk areas, or you need the gold standard 90-minute fire protection for labs, workshops and mixed-chemical stores where the stakes are higher.
A quick snapshot:
Type 30: Great for lighter storage tasks or where you simply need a compliant, compact safety buffer.
Type 90: The industry favourite. It buys firefighters precious time and keeps evacuation routes clearer for longer.
Both link neatly into our product ranges, so you can browse based on width, door type, internal fittings, or colour-coding systems your team already uses.
Fire-resistant safety cabinets with EN 14470-1 fire protection
COSHH tells you what must be achieved, but doesn’t necessarily spell out how to guarantee safe flammable-liquid storage inside the workplace. That’s exactly where EN 14470-1 steps in. It’s the recognised engineering standard that satisfies COSHH expectations for fire resistance, containment and risk reduction.
Every DENIOS EN 14470-1 cabinet gives you:
A proven fire resistance class (30/90 minutes)
Automatic closure triggered by rising temperatures
Designed spill containment to meet COSHH secondary containment requirements
Controlled access to eliminate unauthorised handling
Construction tested under extreme, real-world fire conditions
Using a certified cabinet from DENIOS dramatically simplifies COSHH compliance, because the “how” is already built into our products.
How to Choose the Right Flammable Storage Cabinet
Choosing a cabinet isn’t just about convenience or door style. Under COSHH, you’re expected to demonstrate that flammable liquids are:
Stored safely
Segregated correctly
Protected from ignition
Contained if spilled
Located where workers aren’t put at unnecessary risk
A properly tested EN 14470-1 cabinet ticks all of these requirements in one go. That’s why insurers and auditors often prefer Type 90 as it aligns perfectly with COSHH’s requirement for “minimising the consequences of a fire.”
If your workplace has mixed chemicals, limited escape routes, or sensitive operations, Type 90 is the safer, and more superior choice.
Advantages of Certified Fire-Rated Safety Cabinets
Certification matters under COSHH because you’re expected to provide evidence that your storage method actually works. A certified DENIOS cabinet gives you documented proof of safety performance, which makes inspections straightforward.
A few COSHH-relevant features:
High fire resistance: 30–90 min - protects escape routes
Self-closing doors - prevents human error
Integrated sump - fulfils secondary containment duties
Corrosion-resistant interior - reduces exposure risk
Clear segregation options - makes mixed-hazard storage safer
Tested closing mechanisms and joints - essential for COSHH risk assessment depth
When you combine these with EN 14470-1 testing, you’re investing in regulatory confidence.
The new generation flammable storage cabinets
Safety and style don’t usually share the same sentence - but here they genuinely do. The latest DENIOS cabinets keep all the tough-as-nails engineering but add thoughtful, modern touches.
Modern Design & Colour-Coded Safety Integration
You can match the cabinet doors (available in seven colours) to your existing safety coding system. It sounds small, but it’s surprisingly useful when managing multiple chemical classes.
Flexible Sizes for Every Workplace
Choose 60, 90 or 120 cm widths. All models pass easily through standard doorways when moved on a pallet truck, perfect during relocations or audits.
Expert Support for High-Volume or Complex Storage Needs
If you’re storing stacks of small containers, choose drawers instead of shelves. They pull almost all the way out, giving you optimal “top-down” visibility.
FM Certified Flammable Storage Cabinets
EN 14470-1 is the European benchmark - but if you’re working under American standards (NFPA, OSHA), FM-approved cabinets are the ones to look for.
FM testing demands:
Double-wall steel with 38 mm air gap
2-point locking
A 51 mm minimum sump depth
Flame arrestor vents
A maximum 10-minute internal temperature threshold
FM cabinets are rugged, simple, and familiar to teams who’ve worked in US facilities.
Compact and Small-Format Flammable Cabinets
Short on height? Compact models like the G-1200-F fit under benches or extractor hoods while still providing robust flammable-liquid protection.
You get:
Adjustable shelves
Integrated sump
Automatic fire-triggered door closing
The same performance as taller units - just a smaller footprint
Ventilation for Flammable and Hazardous Substance Cabinets
COSHH requires employers to prevent or control exposure to hazardous vapours. That’s why ventilation is a key part of demonstrating that vapour build-up is strictly controlled.
When Is Ventilation Required Under COSHH?
If vapours can accumulate, you must prevent employees from inhaling them and eliminate any chance of an explosive atmosphere. COSHH puts this squarely on the employer.
An EN 14470-1 cabinet gives you connection points for ducted or filtered systems, making it easy to comply with:
Exposure limits (EH40)
DSEAR/ATEX responsibilities
Workplace exposure control under COSHH Reg 6 and Reg 7
The New UFA 2.0 Recirculating Filter Module
For many workplaces, ducting is impractical. COSHH doesn’t specify whether extraction must be ducted or filtered - it only cares about effectiveness.
The UFA 2.0 recirculating air filter attachment satisfies that requirement with calibrated VOC sensors and continuous airflow monitoring, giving you measurable proof of exposure control.

COSHH Compliance and Flammable Storage
This is where DENIOS really stands out. COSHH is often vague about flammable liquids, but EN 14470-1 gives you a structured, recognised method of compliance. It connects directly to several COSHH duties:
Reg 6 - Assessing risks: A certified cabinet provides quantifiable fire resistance and containment data.
Reg 7 - Preventing exposure: Cabinets help limit vapours and ignition risks.
Reg 9 - Maintaining control measures: DENIOS inspections help meet this obligation.
Reg 13 - Arrangements to deal with accidents: Built-in sumps and fire-tested doors provide documented safeguards.
In practice, choosing an EN 14470-1 cabinet is the simplest, clearest way to satisfy COSHH expectations for flammable liquids. It bridges the gap between legal responsibilities and real-world application - something basic steel cupboards simply can’t offer.
New or retrofit: The choice is yours!
The UFA is compatible with all current fire-resistant hazardous material cabinets from asecos (except FM-certified models). Retrofitting is possible without complications. An attachment adapter is available for cabinets built in 2005 and earlier as well as for other makes. Otherwise, you can find suitable hazardous material cabinets in the DENIOS online shop:
Other storage options for hazardous materials
As well as flammable storage cabinets for hazardous materials, DENIOS UK also stocks other safety cabinets, including ones for chemical storage such as acid storage cabinets, a dispensing cabinet and a paint storage cabinet. These are designed to be used in warehouses, stores, laboratories and anywhere else where hazardous materials are kept.
For chemical storage, for instance, DENIOS UK has solutions for small volumes of greases, oils and chemicals, from bunded pallets and spill strays to cabinets.
