Our services include determination of burning behavior and classification of building products. As our customer you can benefit from our services during the product development and market entry. We help you to plan the testing arrangements for determining the fire class of your product.
Burning behaviour of building products
With our test equipment's we measure the non-combustibility of the product, heat of combustion/calorific values, flame spread properties, heat release and smoke production, ignitability and forming of burning droplets/particles and building products propensity to undergo continuos smouldering.
Fire classification for building products
Fire classification for building products is made according to classification standard EN 13501-1. Classification for roof coverings is made according to EN 13501-5. The test methods for classification and classification criteria are presented in the classification standards.
