FIRE RESISTANCE TESTING FROM WARRINGTONFIRE Warringtonfire offers independent, locally accredited fire resistance testing services for passive fire protection products for both commercial and domestic building types. Our fire resistance testing is done to British, European, International standards, CE, UKCA marking and third-party certification. We undertake this testing from our UKAS accredited testing facilities in High Wycombe and Warrington Dubai, as well as our BELAC accredited testing facility in Gent, and our NATA accredited testing facility in Melbourne. WHAT IS FIRE RESISTANCE TESTING? Fire resistance can be determined through destructive fire testing designed to replicate the product’s intended end-use. The specimen to be tested is built into an appropriate supporting construction which is then built into a restraint frame and mounted on the front of a furnace. The temperature within the furnace is controlled according to an internationally accepted time/temperature regime. We undertake fire resistance testing for a variety of products to British, European and International standards. Our fire resistance testing includes the following products: building materials, doors and shutter assemblies, ducts, dampers, cable trays, floors, glazing, pipes and penetrations, intumescent paint, intumescent seals, load bearing and non-load bearing elements, suspended ceilings, walls and partitions.
