What is EN 1869:2019 – and why does it matter for fire blankets in Europe?

Not all fire blankets on the market are tested according to the EN 1869:2019 standard.
This European standard defines strict performance and safety requirements for fire blankets used in domestic and professional environments.

A compliant fire blanket must:
• Withstand high temperatures without tearing
• Effectively smother flames in real fire scenarios
• Maintain structural integrity during use
• Be suitable for kitchen, household and workplace fires

Using a non-compliant blanket may result in insufficient fire suppression and increased risk during critical moments.

At DVM International, we focus on norm-driven fire safety solutions based on EN 1869:2019.
Our mission is to provide reliable fire blanket protection for households and professional users across Europe.

Learn more about compliance and fire blanket performance via our EFRS (European Fire Blanket Reference Specification) on our website.
