AMSEC UL1812 UL Two Hour Fire & Impact Safe
The following explains the Underwriter's Laboratories' fire-resistant container testing procedures on the Class 350 degrees F, one hour and Class 350 degrees F two hour Fire Labels.
U.L. Label/Class 350 F-one hour and Class 350 F-two hours. The safe will maintain an interior temperature of less than 350 degrees F when exposed to fire for one hour at 1700 degrees F or two hours at 1850 degrees F. Safe must successfully undergo all other requirements for the Fire Endurance Test, Explosion Hazard Test, and Fire/Impact Test, as stated below.
Fire Endurance Test
After heat sensors and paper are placed inside the safe, the unit is locked and exposed to a uniformly distributed fire. The furnace is regulated to reach a maximum temperature of 1700 degrees F for one hour, or 1850 degrees F for two hours, then allowed to cool without opening the furnace. The interior temperature is recorded throughout the test and during the cooling period until a definite drop is shown and must never exceed 350 degrees F. Once cooled, the unit is opened and examined for usability. The units locking mechanism and parts fastenings are examined for security, and the interior is examined for visible evidence of undue heat transmission
Explosion Hazard Test
The safe is locked and placed into a furnace preheated to 2000 degrees F. This temperature is maintained for 30 minutes (2-hour test is 45 minutes), and if no explosion results, the unit can cool without opening the furnace doors. Once cooled, the unit is opened and examined for usability. The units locking mechanisms and parts fastenings are examined for security, and the interior is examined for visible evidence of undue heat transmission.
Fire Impact Test (Manufacturer's Option)
After the explosion hazard test, the safe is removed from the furnace and, within two minutes, is dropped 30' onto a riprap of brick on a heavy concrete base. After impact, the unit is examined for deformation, rupture of parts, damaged insulation, and any other openings in the interior. Once cooled, the unit is inverted and reheated to 1550F for 30 minutes (2 hour test: 45 minutes at 1638F). Once cooled, the unit is opened and examined for usability. The units locking mechanisms and parts fastenings are examined for security, and the interior is examined for visible evidence of undue heat transmission.
