Ordinary glass containers exposed to heat will fail at about 212F (100C) due to thermally induced stress. Storage cabinets are designed to offer protection from radiant heat, but only for a limited time of intense fire exposure. The user MUST recognize these limitations.
An approved storage cabinet is designed and constructed to protect contents from external fires. The 10-minute fire test criteria is based on the estimated time for a room or portion of a building to become seriously involved in a fire and, thus, is considered a measure of the time for occupants to evacuate the area.
