EN/BS Fire Resistance Testing

Fire TS Laboratory's IANZ accreditation scope allows to conduct certification testing in accordance with EN and BS standards. The testing can be undertaken in the pilot and in the full scale furnaces dependent on the system certification requirements.

Certification Testing

An endorsed/certification report is issued based on the undertaken test in either pilot or full scale - dependent on the testing prototype. The report format is strictly compliant with EN/BS guidelines; issued with IANZ & ILAC MRA endorsement and signed by an IANZ signatory. The issued report is a valid document that identifies FRL/FRR (fire resistance level/rating) of elements in construction and officially accepted by industry regulators.

Note: Endorsed report issuance in 2 weeks’ time after the test.

Research Testing

Pilot/full-scale research testing on building materials, components and systems can be completed to evaluate their performance as a part of the R&D process prior to the endorsed testing. The results of the research test are compiled as raw data in Excel.

The raw data of the sponsored research testing provides valuable insights into the system performance deficiencies (if any) and assists with the direction of further research effort. It also gives a higher level of confidence to the sponsor during the endorsed testing stage.
