With our state-of-the-art storage facility at Maasvlakte, we have the capacity to store approximately 100 million lighters, positioning us as one of the leading storage specialists in the Netherlands and Europe. Our storage meets strict PGS15 safety standards, including mechanical ventilation and gas detection at strategic points, to ensure the constant safety of flammable materials.
Fire and environmental safety with PGS15
Commonly used lighters are the so-called disposable lighters, made of plastic and filled with butane gas, which are discarded after use. These lighters, usually equipped with a flint for ignition, contain butane - a flammable gas that is heavier than air at room temperature and collects near the ground.
PGS15 is the leading standard for the storage and temporary storage of flammable materials. It provides a framework for fire safety, occupational safety and environmental safety, and aims for a high level of protection for both people and the environment. Through our strict adherence to these guidelines, we ensure that our storage facilities are not only safe, but also meet the highest environmental and safety standards.
