Why should you use BS 3566 – Lightweight salvage sheets?
Salvage sheets are generally used by emergency personnel essentially for salvage and rescue operations. To prevent hazardous situations, it is necessary that salvage sheets for fire service use should possess certain properties and be designed and built as per best industry performance requirements.
BS 3566 provides you with requirements and test methods that can be followed while manufacturing lightweight salvage sheets. This can ensure that lightweight salvage sheets have a high degree of waterproofness, resistance to abrasion and the action of oils and corrosive chemicals, sufficient strength and ease of cleaning, and maintenance of a clean appearance after considerable use.
If you are a manufacturer, BS 3566 can ensure that your lightweight salvage sheets are efficient in their operation thus contributing to a successful fire response.
