For energy storage and data centres

Battery enclosures and data centre modules contain insulation, linings, cable, ducting and plastics that regulators expect to meet reaction-to-fire classes. We test them alongside the enclosure fire resistance programme, so materials and assemblies are proven together.

Frequently asked questions

Can you classify the product as well as test it?

We issue test reports. Euroclass classification reports under EN 13501-1 may need to come from a notified body for CE marking; we can coordinate with our certification partners.
