Fire Testing
As recognised experts in all areas of fire testing we can manage the process of testing and assessing the fire performance of products and materials, giving the assurance sought by many of the industry’s leading manufacturers. Types of products include timber fire doors, penetration seals, cavity barriers, load-bearing and non load-bearing wall systems, glazed screens.
Engineering Assessments
We can assist in satisfying architectural design criteria and specific site requirements, by determining the acceptable flexibility, tolerance, and usage variations that construction products have from their originally tested specification. Our engineering assessments contain expert judgement of the product’s performance, supported by numerical and quantifiable methods, as well as experience of conducting fire resistance tests on similar products.
Field of Application Reports
A report of this kind brings together numerous fire resistant test reports into a single practical document that outlines the variations and permitted parameters. We can demonstrate the range of situations that the product’s fire performance criteria remains valid, helping the manufacturer/fabricator or installer to produce a ‘compliant’ and ‘fit for purpose’ product/system and reducing the risk of incorrect installation.
