Metal sandbox 100 L

Meet the safety requirements of your buildings

The installation of this 100-liter tray meets the requirements of the French Labor Code (Art. R4227-32) and specific fire safety regulations. It is particularly required in parking garages, residential buildings, and boiler rooms, where the presence of a non-combustible absorbent material is mandatory on each level or near fuel storage areas.

The stored sand or absorbent acts as a fire extinguisher by smothering flames, particularly liquid fires. In public buildings and service stations, this system is also used to absorb hydrocarbon or oil spills, thus limiting the risk of fire spreading and accidental falls by users.

For parking lots
- Article R4227-32 of the Labour Code provides for the presence of a sand or absorbent container near work locations, requiring it to extinguish a small fire.
- Article 18 of the technical instruction of March 3, 1975 specifies, for example, that a 100 L container equipped with a shovel is present on each level near the parking ramp.
- Article 96 relating to Housing provides for the presence, on each level, of a 100 L sand or absorbent bin equipped with a round-bottomed bucket and placed near the circulation ramp.
- Article PS 29 related to ERPs requires the presence of 100 L of non-combustible absorbent freely accessible at the operating station.

For boiler rooms in all premises
- Article 20 of the amended decree of June 23, 1978 provides for the presence of tanks near these boiler rooms.

For boiler rooms in public access buildings using solid or liquid fuels
- Article CH 10 stipulates the presence of a sand or absorbent deposit. In this case, the absorbent is also intended to absorb oil spills to limit the risk of fire and prevent users from falling.

For each service station distribution area
- The decree of January 7, 2003 provides for the presence of a reserve of at least 100 L of non-combustible absorbent protected from the weather.

The APSAD R4 rule related to the reduction of insurance costs also goes in this direction for boiler rooms and above-ground storage of flammable liquids and gases.
