Our fire tests rigorously assess materials to ensure your product's safety and compliance with all relevant standards. We conduct testing in controlled laboratory environments to examine:
Fire Resistance: The material's capacity to resist or withstand fire
Flame Spread: How flames move away from the ignition source across the sample's surface, analyzing flame propagation potential
Reaction to Fire: The degree to which a product contributes to the intensity or spread of fire upon exposure to flames
Flashpoint: The minimum temperature at which combustible liquids ignite
We provide customized testing solutions that meet the unique requirements of a wide range of materials and products, from home textiles to children’s toys:
Clothing textiles including children’s sleepwear
Carpets and rugs
