The Fire Safety Laboratory investigates the reaction to fire of building materials and composite products. We determine, among other things, the ignitability, heat release and smoke production of materials.
Commonly tested materials include insulation materials, such as stone wool and bio-based materials, façade cladding such as wood, foils, membranes and fibre cement boards, and composites and assembled products, including internal doors and timber frame elements.
Reaction-to-fire performance is determined according to EN 13501‑1, using the following test methods:
Class A1:
Non-combustibility test (ISO 1182)
Gross heat of combustion (ISO 1716)
Class A2:
Non-combustibility test (ISO 1182) or Gross heat of combustion (ISO 1716) and Single Burning Item (EN 13823)
Class B–D:
Single Burning Item (EN 13823)
Small flame test (EN ISO 11925‑2)
Class E–F:
Small flame test (EN ISO 11925‑2)
For extension of the field of application of classifications, Extended Application is applied in accordance with CEN/TS 15117.
