PRiodis – Secure monitor housing

Either remove monitors from emergency routes or go PRIODIS!

Monitors are electrical components which, if constructed in escape and emergency routes, pose a high risk potential. In the event of a defect, an emergency route can quickly be filled with smoke. According to German construction law, this is illegal!
In accordance with Section 14 MBO, “structural facilities have to be arranged, set up, changed and maintained so that the start of a fire and the spread of fire and smoke (…) is prevented (…)” And Section 40 adds: “In essential staircases (…) and in essential hallways, circuit systems [and appliances] are only permitted if use as an emergency route in the event of fire is possible for sufficiently long.”

The cheap and visually appealing solution comes from PRIORIT!

PRIODIS is the tried and tested protection for the legally acceptable use of monitors in escape and emergency routes! PRIODIS effectively seals off monitors from escape and emergency routes! By using PRIODIS, modern flat-screens can be operated in all escape and emergency routes and foyers. PRIODIS guarantees that incipient fires in monitors do not start and that emergency routes stay free of smoke and fire from monitors. In this way monitors can provide information with the latest news, videos and advertising in all hallways, foyers and assembly points without any problems.

The solution

PRIODIS Basic

The “PRIODIS Basic” monitor enclosure is the simplest and most cost-effective solution and meets the requirements of MBO §14, §40. “PRIODIS Basic” consists of non-combustible material (A2 – s1, d0), completely encloses the monitors and, in the event of a fire, prevents the escape of fire and smoke (suffocation fire) within 30 minutes and thus protects the escape route safely. Escape routes here are necessary corridors, necessary stairwells, rooms between necessary stairwells as well as exits to the outside.
The proof was provided by real fire tests with various fire accelerators in an accredited material testing institute (MPA Dresden) and confirmed by an expert opinion.
