Phoenix Fire-Resistant Lateral File
Each Phoenix Fire-Resistant Lateral File is independently tested to European or American standards for fire protection. They carry certification labels from the testing agency that identify the product’s fire protection level.
Products for Storage of Paper Records:
Products that provide fire protection for paper records are listed with the designation of “Class 350.” Tests are designed to protect paper records range from 60 to 120 minutes in temperatures ranging from 1700°F to 1859°F. By comparison, a typical fire lasts 20 minutes and reaches 800°F.
During the fire test, the internal temperature of the product is monitored. This ensures that it does not rise above a level that would endanger the paper documents stored within the product. The designation tag also indicates the length of the fire test as “1 HR, 1 ½ HR, or 2 HR” and is located next to each model number.

Tests for products designed to protect computer media range from 60 to 120 minutes in furnace-burn time. Testing temperatures range from 1700°F to 1859°F. By comparison, a typical fire lasts 20 minutes and reaches 800°F. During the fire test, the internal temperature of the product is monitored to ensure that it does not rise above a level that would burn the media.
The designation tag also indicates the length of the fire test as “1 HR, 1 ½ HR, or 2 HR” and is located next to each model number.
