In the last years over 15 million appliance units have been recalled for defects that could cause a fire. Statistics show that 30% of all fires are caused by electricity\, mostly starting within electrical devices and appliances . The existing fire protection measures are good\, but do not yet include active fire protection within devices. New technologies make it possible t o install mini fire extinguishers directly in the electronics. In case a f ire starts\, the mini fire extinguisher can extinguish the fire reliably a nd irreversibly cut the power to avoid re-ignition. The method will reduce the risk of fire consequential damages\, reduce recall costs and increase safety according to the motto "making safe products safer". This technolo gy can be associated with the term device-integrated fire protection.
