Why work with us
Most failures happen at joints, fixings and penetrations, not in the core. We review drawings before the test, can run an indicative test first, and if a specimen fails we work out why — so the next build passes. Our fire resistance work is the same expertise that goes into enclosures for energy storage and data centres.
Deliverables
- Test report under CNAS accreditation (ILAC MRA)
- Witnessed test for TÜV Rheinland, Intertek or CSA on request
- Drawing review before the test; failure analysis if it does not pass
Frequently asked questions
Do you test the hydrocarbon curve?
Yes, the hydrocarbon (HC) curve and the external fire curve are within our accreditation under GB/T 26784, along with the hose stream test.
