Fire Resistance Testing

Fire resistance tests determine the likely behaviour of construction material when subjected to a fully developed fire. We perform tests to determine the functionality of large-scale structures, evaluating load-bearing capacity, integrity and insulation performance. Our fire resistance testing covers various standards including AS, BS, EN, IMO, ASTM, UL and NFPA.

Reaction to Fire Testing

Reaction to fire tests are used to determine properties which influence the initiation, growth and spread of fire to determine the survival of humans exposed to a fire scenario. Our capabilities include AS ISO 9705, ISO 9705-1, AS/NZS 3837, ISO 5660-1, AS 1530.1, ISO 1182, BS 8414, AS 5113, ISO 1716, ASTMS D5630.
