Ensuring Unwavering Safety: Why Certified Testing Matters for EV Blankets
The rise of electric vehicles (EVs) brings new safety considerations, particularly regarding fire incidents. In Malaysia, the safety of our communities is paramount. That’s why it’s crucial that EV fire suppression tools, like the AITO EV Fire Blanket, undergo rigorous testing by certified bodies like SIRIM QAS. These independent evaluations ensure the product meets stringent safety standards, guaranteeing reliable performance when it matters most. Certified testing validates the blanket’s ability to effectively contain and extinguish EV fires, providing peace of mind to both users and emergency responders.
