What is fire testing of building materials and why do I need it?

Fire testing of building materials is a crucial process in assessing a product's ability to withstand exposure to fire as well as looking at how different materials may impact flame, heat and smoke spread during a fire event. Fire testing standards and building codes are essential to manufacturing products with safe designs and materials to protect the end user. Failure to meet flammability testing requirements risks public safety and can also limit or prevent market access. The insight you gain from fire testing of building materials helps you to avoid the use of materials and/or products that are not fit for purpose. ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ's building materials fire testing services are beneficial for research and development, quality control, or demonstrating a competitive advantage in the marketplace.
