Who this is for
Chinese manufacturers of fire doors, shutters, fire-rated glazing, partitions, sandwich panels, insulation and other building products who need test data for export — and international buyers who want a laboratory close to their suppliers.

How we help you pass
- Drawing review before the specimen is built.
- Indicative tests to find weaknesses before a witnessed certification test.
- Failure analysis when a test fails: where, why and what to change — usually seals, hardware, joints and fixings.
- Witnessed tests for TÜV Rheinland, Intertek and CSA, and coordination with other certification partners.
Many of the same products now go into data centre modules and battery enclosures — see enclosure fire resistance.
