BSI Fire Blanket

What Is a BSI Fire Blanket?

A BSI fire blanket is a fire safety product that has been independently tested and certified by the British Standards Institution (BSI) to comply with the latest BS EN 1869:2019 standard. Certification is usually shown by the BSI Kitemark, which guarantees the product’s quality, safety, and performance in controlling small fires.
