Feasibility study and investigation of burnt items

Is the item worth investigating further?

DBI conducts investigations of items suspected of having caused a fire. A feasibility study ensures that resources are devoted to the right items.

When cleaning up a fire scene, items such as a refrigerator or washing machine may be identified as possible causes of the fire. These items can be submitted to DBI for further investigation.

DBI carries out a feasibility study of the item. Quickly and at a reasonable price, the feasibility study indicates whether a detailed investigation is likely to support the case, for example in relation to recourse.

The feasibility study makes it possible to:

  • assess whether further investigation is likely to provide sufficient technical basis
  • avoid spending resources on items that are unlikely to provide answers


If there is a sufficient basis for further investigation, DBI proceeds with a detailed examination of the item.The result is a report that concludes, with varying degrees of certainty, whether the item caused the fire.


If an investigated product is found to have caused a fire, DBI reports it to the Danish Safety Technology Authority.


So, any items suspected of causing fire should be submitted for preliminary investigation by DBI.
